I really, really need people to understand that if you are on BlueSky you are not the audience for "we shouldn't bomb Iran because it increases the cost of gas" messaging

Do none of you have politically idiotic relatives who complain about foreign aid spending when we have homeless vets?

US electricity generation changes, 2024 ➑️ 2025:

Coal: ⬆️ 67 TWh (13%)
Oil: ⬆️ 2 TWh (19%)
Gas: ⬇️ 41 TWh (-4%)
Nuclear: no change
Hydro: ⬆️ 6 TWh (3%)
Other renewables: ⬆️ 13 TWh (11%)
Total: ⬆️ 47 TWh (2%)

Big story is coal generation rising A LOT (67 TWh, 5x renewable growth), mostly displacing gas.

β€˜Sixty seconds, that’s all it took’: the clinical Israeli-US operation to kill Ali Khamenei Mission that took just 60 seconds to carry out was decades in making, but experts say it could be major strategic error

I keep reading western media takes on how clinical Israel's killing of Khamenei was.

I hear less about how an 86-year-old two times cancer survivor with a long, vocal record of desiring martyrdom was just chilling at home in his slippers.

He let them do this.

that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it

in theory someone could stand up a left or center left third party bid without being a wrecker (because instant runoff voting) but someone in maine actually has to show some interest in doing that

You can skip the first timer and just sort of pay attention to the pot for five minutes while it comes to a boil.
