A thread about how farmers can kick their government subsidies, if they want to make good, independent money. Grow crops below & still produce more energy for electric vehicle fuel than corn/ethanol. A 16,000% improvement in vehicle fuel generation, make $$$ with solar and make even more from crops.

Fair enough. When the OP said, "you boys", I thought she meant the authors, who seem to not be lampooning the misogynistic attitude, but actually embodying it. Maybe OP meant all the people playing it or singing along, as you say.

Wasn't that the point of the song, to point out how creepy that behavior is? Sting was shocked by how Americans adopted it as a love song. Or is it just the song on its own qualifies as creepy but the author isn't? Maybe I missed something?

When the current American federal government cancels programs in the various states, I am wondering why the states don't have the right to "cancel" sending their taxes to the feds. What am I missing? Is this unilateral disarmament or ethical suicide or something else?

EVs have a huge battery heating load at that temperature to maintain the property temp range. It isn't just the cabin. Don't let it dissuade you, but at those temps maintaining the battery is a real concern. It shouldn't wear out the equipment the same way ICE idling does.

They would pay the political consequences of blocking emergency aid. What if the executive didn't aid states that voted against the current occupant? (Sound familiar?)

Mamdani names a new campaign manager as part of staff expansion | CNN Politics Zohran Mamdani is naming a new campaign manager and expanding the staff of his New York City mayoral campaign, CNN has learned, as the Democratic nominee aims both to consolidate support heading into ...

I don't know if it is Mamdani or his team (www.cnn.com/2025/07/25/p...) that are doing this amazing work, but as far as I am concerned, many of the rest of the Dems around the country need to crib from this playbook and hire these staffers. They are running an incredible campaign.

1/x 🧡 πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘ #Greensky. Hey climate peeps! Here’s a local victory to celebrate, and some lessons from it. Last night, the Town of Poughkeepsie, NY, voted to overturn its 18-month moratorium (6 months, renewed twice) on grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Gone with the Wind isn't exactly a book I would normally point to for any kind of wisdom, but damn if Margaret Mitchell didn't get it exactly right on this one. The US is being dismembered, and the profit the mafiosos are making off of vampiring our culture and businesses are immense, and fast.

Mafiosos specialize in extracting blood and money. These two profit from war, a war that one of them started. Remember, TFG just nationalized a piece Intel, I guarantee you he will do the same to Exxon, and claim that anything good for Exxon is good for the country.

This is why my children get sex education - the award winning "Our Whole Lives" program, a collaboration between the UUA and the UCC - at my Unitarian Universalist congregation in Atlanta, UUCA. No one else does any where near as good of a job, in my experience, & others actively erase trans ppl.

Crytpo: There's just no legit use case for it. But, man, are these bros lobbied up. Our looonnnggg take on why private digital currencies and the blockchain are an accident going out to happen.

β€œWhile crypto’s huge computational costs undermine any legitimate use case, the benefits of anonymity and the lack of a centralized authority are well worth the inefficiencies in one particular context: if you want to transfer money to commit crimes.”

The Reconstruction failed, so I don't know that it is a good example. I don't mind partisan action, but focusing on structural partisanship would probably last longer. For instance, add DC as a state, add PR if they pass a referendum, add 4 Supreme Court justices. Let them do the work over time.

Single-handed Presidential declarations of emergency are a fundamental flaw in US governance. Proposed: declaring emergencies get priority Congressional consideration and require 66% to pass. If it isn't broadly held a situation is an emergency, dictatorial powers should remain untappable.

Who knew that we needed to provide tax-protected investment access to booming businesses of human trafficking, money laundering, government corruption, and tax evasion? Now that we have a bright new techno-gleam on investing in crime, we should all claim our share of the vampiric profit!

A big part of the reason Atlanta is hitting it's limits is the way the state DoT funds highways and road projects instead of MARTA and bike paths and other alternatives. We are building out alternative infrastructure in spite of them, but it goes slow.

Nine years with 3 kids supports exponential increase in difficulty theory, and supports the "first cute one tricks you into family expansion" theory. Which only explains #2, but... What was I saying? Got distracted there, can't remember what I was saying.
