They're trying to prepare for the inevitable next attack from Trump

I bet this will be great! @emorwee is, age aside, a true veteran of these wars!

actually, i was very relieved that they covered the story, since they didn't break it.

Epstein Files Are Missing Records About Woman Who Made Claim Against Trump

We seem to be nearing the heart of the story, and a lot will depend on the nerve of the journalists--NPR, the NYT, etc--to stay on this story relentlessly. Will they give it the same kind of coverage they gave Biden's age--i.e., full bore, around the clock, 50 opeds?

very true. i don't think we're in disagreement here.

absolutely. but they don't have the platforms to keep the pressure on relentlessly

The kerfluffle over the hockey teams does make one wonder if the rightwing cares quite as much about women's sports as it's been insisting...

at this point it's mostly a defensive attack on solar and wind--and it costs a ton of public money, so that fits easily with the ff industry business model

My native intelligence considers AI data centers Yes, they're fast, and yes it's time to slow the heck down

Love this @billmckibben.bsky.social piece on data centers. Arguably the most important idea here is that "Bring Your Own Generation" is not a panacea. It maybe could reduce cost-shifting to everyday ratepayers - but the default approach to BYOG so far is more fossil gas emissions. Not acceptable.
