One more quick thread, and then I'm getting out of here to walk my dog in the sun.

I think a lot about the authoritarian personality. I won't start going on about that because this thread would last forever, but I just want to say one thing about it.

A letter from Charles Darwin to Charles Lyell on Oct. 1, 1861:

"But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything."

then, later: "One lives only to make blunders."

So relatable.

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

Most people don’t know this: Heat pumps REDUCE gas consumption even if running 100% on electricity from a gas fired power plant.

You may find this map shocking. The crazy imbalance even surprised me!
It’s the ratio of record highs vs record lows in each city since 2020. That’s right, in Miami there have been 115 daily record highs, but only 1 record morning low! Phoenix: 138 to 0!… 1/

Taxpayers are going to keep the dirty, dying coal industry alive for a bit longer.

BONDI: You didn't ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein

BONDI: And with this antisemitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution--

BALINT: You want to go there! Really? Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust! *storms off*

Also, for residential side streets, you can just... drive over compacted snow? In a 2WD. Millions do it every winter.

Screenshot of Elon Musk post on Ex: “Elon Musk y X @elonmusk For those unaware, Space has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.”

BREAKING: “in my 24th year of my quest to settle the planet Mars, I have just been informed of a basic fact of celestial mechanics.”

Between the marriage ceremony, "God Bless America", the U.S. flag, white woman singing in English, revelers dancing on a truck, working-class people, beer and scantily clad women....

Update:

Screenshot from a video of Musk interview titled "Elon Musk: I'll Put a Man on Mars in 10 years". Video dated "10 years ago".

This will never be not funny to me

Big jump in the record solar production for MISO today. Hit 20% of total demand, besting wind. I've not seen it surpass fossil gas yet, but I'm betting that happens this spring.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet
