Love getting electricity from that giant reactor in the sky

Fuck yeah!

Were you carrying viagra during transport

Everybody knows that Pupper just won Downhill Gold

What proteins, feedstock, fermentation methods, etc., are they trying out to get a more meat-like texture, flavor, and cooking outcome? I know hemoglobin and myoglobin have been used for proteins, what else? Fats/lipids?

My cat will eat any food whether or not he’s wet, so my guess is it’s the food

Here in Boston I got a heat pump four years ago, and I’m seeing similar good things. I’ve only used the gas boiler during extreme cold snaps. I got solar panels on my roof last May and the electricity they export to the grid in sunny months will be about equal to the amount I import overall

It Turns Out That When Waymos Are Stumped, They Get Intervention From Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

We've known for a while that Waymo has remote people in the loop (they were overwhelmed with "no green light" exec decisions during the Dec 20 SF power failure), but we did not know that many of them are in the Philippines--suggests a large scale contingent. futurism.com/advanced-tra...

Frieren, that boy will be a great warrior

For anyone concerned about this, consider working at your local neighborhood polling place for the elections

Saw some lovely offshore wind farms flying out of Amsterdam today

Every Friday, electoral-vote.com has a schadenfreude topic and, to provide balance, a freudenfreude topic

They’re probably evolving robust DNA protection mechanisms, we should sequence their genomes

Pigshit could be a bad interaction with a cop

To me, it could have a sense of expected trouble stored up, the way cat turds are buried in litter. “I stayed up too late and the next morning was catshit”

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.

CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?

DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.

C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name?

DR: Now look

I can’t tell if he’s saying we’re better or worse than Qatar

Not me. Thanks for doing this!

new york magazine has a very nasty article out about my beautiful golden throne, which they say is the only thing keeping me alive. when I'm sitting on my big beautiful throne I am NOT ASLEEP!! I am directing the beacon of the astronomican, something sleepy joe did very badly may I add

As a Massachusetts resident, I am incredibly pissed off. At least we appear to be getting half a gigawatt from Vineyard Wind

Not for some of us. It’s weird for me to donate money to Ukrainian organizations helping in their war and feel like it’s also helping us, but there is a connection

I’m not a major anime fan, but I got hooked on Frieren enough to buy the English translation mangas. Can’t wait for this scene!

Really can’t help thinking this is all a distraction from the Jack Smith testimony. Trump builds up a crisis, shifts over to sounding reasonable, by tomorrow afternoon will announce a resolution, just as the Smith testimony wraps up

I think the cause of our inability to do all this is not exceptionalism, but lack of trust in government by older, conservative voters, fueled by racial resentment

NEW: Coal-fired power generation fell in both China and India in 2025, for the first time since 1973. The drop came after record clean energy additions in both countries, and was the first time that clean energy was a major driver of falling coal power use.
