Jimmy Carter, Golden, Colorado Remarks at the Solar Energy Research Institute on South Table Mountain. May 03, 1978 

Full speech: https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/golden-colorado-remarks-the-solar-energy-research-institute-south-table-mountain

"Nobody can embargo sunlight. No cartel controls the Sun. Its energy will not run out. It will not pollute the air; it will not poison our waters. It's free from stench and smog. The Sun's power needs only to be collected, stored, and used."
—Jimmy Carter 1978 www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/go...

White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”

Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

Why is Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing” playing in the background? I SO hope that’s incidental.

I wonder if Gary Anthony Williams used him as an inspiration for Uncle Ruckus. I re-watched that flick again as an adult and, while Waters was still an asshole he didn’t deserve what he got but he also didn’t need to push his anger and self-loathing onto his subordinates.

It just hit me…Danhausen might be the spiritual successor to R-Truth. R-Truth is timeless but at some point, he is going to want to hang it up. Wrestling needs quirky humor and I’m here for it.

South Dakota's "Meth. We're on it." campaign is funny but state officials say the meth problem is deadly serious Meth use is surging in South Dakota, and the government is desperate the stop a crisis they say is hurting every resident in their rural state.

For context:

Sarah Kendzior Sounds Alarm on Trump’s Calculated Iran Move YouTube video by The Mark Thompson Show

"Trump has no ideological commitment. He likes his foreign policy 'one and done': kidnap Venezuela's prez, drop a MOAB on Afghanistan. He sees it like reality TV: these are plot twists in his season finales. I’m worried the war on Iran is a series finale — for Earth."

On @pablo.show I talked about the limits of generative AI, and why the brainstorming process—which LLMs mostly eliminate, imo—is fundamental to doing *good* work.

Television pioneer Fred Rogers, gone 23 years ago today.

His acceptance speech for the Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award is always worth a watch.

You’d think so but Cook County, IL is only 22% Black. Chicago proper is only 27% Black.

Bondi is again granted time by Republicans to attack the previous Democratic questioner, in this case Jasmine Crockett, but Crockett doesn't take it without trying to fight back. She then leaves the hearing as Bondi continues to smear her.

Black Women Are Losing Jobs At Three Times The Rate Of Other Women | Essence New labor data shows Black women accounted for a disproportionate share of job losses across 2025, especially in federal, education, and care-sector roles.

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women."

😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that!

"Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate."

Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!

The construction of the bulldozed section of the White House (The East Wing) has now come to a complete halt and it’s estimated to be finished in 3 years.

The $400M that was allocated for this disastrous demolition is now “unaccounted for.”

Another fraud scheme.

In our history we’ve had Cabinets with people who were bad at their jobs, but good people who meant well.

We’ve had people who were good at their jobs, but bad people.

But we’ve not had one like Trump’s filled with people who are both garbage humans and terrible at their jobs.
