I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year weโ€™ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

Any elected who wants to municipalize PG&E would have a hoard of deeply dedicated campaign volunteers.

Realizing the bubble I live in is not left/right but people who understand the scale and seriousness of the moment and are willing to think ambitiously and creatively about ways to address it and those thatโ€ฆ just donโ€™t.

Side by side graphs of retail residential electricity prices vs. time for 3 big investor-owned utilities (left) and 2 big municipal utilities (right). The IOU prices rise from 10-15 c/kWh in 2010 to 30-40 c/kWh in 2024. The municipal prices stay nearly flat, ending at 11-18 c/kWh in 2024.

I knew municipal utilities generally provide lower electricity prices than investor-owned monopoly utilities, but I had no idea the difference was *this stark* in California. No wonder CA electeds are pushing to make municipalization easier and cheaper.

The use of white women by mining and extractive industries is fascinating. Every industry PR/Community relations person I've met is a white women with a certain look and, not surprising, message. Wild.

Guess where the commonly repeated stat that it takes 7-8 years to open a mine comes from? The mining industry! Hearing from former admin folks, the actual time is much shorter but the mining industry pushes the longer time line to call for permitting reform. Just a reminder who benefits from it

People who punch down on students show their whole selves. I wonder what happened in the aftermath of those campus protests?? Almost like there was a massive violent crackdown and literal expulsions and incarceration ๐Ÿค”

Students simultaneously are irrelevant and also responsible for every social justice action and every electoral outcome.
