A climate action advocate running on a drained battery. I tried to convince y'all that the constant criticism of Democrats was going to put the GOP back in charge, but oh well here we are. Supporting Democrats is a lot better than living under GOP rule.

How TrumpRx drug prices compare to generic alternatives Patients could save more buying non-branded copycat drugs, even if they don't have insurance.

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx siteΒ have a cheaper generic version on the market.

Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.

A generic version is on GoodRxΒ for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugsΒ for $16.65.

El NiΓ±o conditions likely for 2027:
If you were already thinking about it, this year is a good time to get a heat pump installed: pleasant heating *and* cooling in the same unit.

I’ve been reading my own gas meter for years as it helps me track my use and see how much the heat pump reduces my usage. I report it on time every month.

Yet Enbridge still occasionally says β€œthat CAN’T be right” and estimates my usage.

January: 67 m3 used.

Enbridge: Naw, more like 484 m3.

Republicans challenge Illinois voter rolls President Trump has said he wants Republicans to nationalize elections in at least 15 states.

These are the same people who encouraged and excused the January 6 attack on our nation's Capitol.

The conversation is being recorded by the president's security detail, Mykola Melnychenko. Kuchma: "Have you found Mogilevich?"Derkach: "I found him."Kuchma: "So, are you…

Today in 2000, Ukraine intel was recorded saying that Putin is in close contact with Semion Mogilevich and had been for decades. Mogilevich was the top mafia boss in the world. The FBI caught one of his closest associates living in Trump Tower.

Spent a few minutes teaching my 12YO about the 14th amendment, sections 1-3, and Trump v Anderson, and it’s pretty telling, I think, that his reaction was like β€œuh what the fuck why is he allowed to be president?”

Yesterday, we held our first ever double-overpass rally in Lehi and Springville, Utah County.

We protested ICE and the GOP petition to repeal Prop 4, reaching **40,000 drivers**.

Our thanks to BURRN, Indivisible Utah Country, Cat Ladies for America, and the Utah County Dems for hosting us!

This #BlackHistoryMonth, Somali families in Minnesota are being targeted, detained, harassed, and injured under the Trump administration.

That's Black families being subjected to violence for being Black.

Black history isn’t just something we remember, it’s being written right now.

Title: (Almost) all energy on earth is solar energy

hydro ←solar (via the water cycle)

wind ←solar (via hot air rising)

biomass ←solar (via photosynthesis)

fossil fuels ←biomass (via rotting underground) ←solar

but

nuclear x←solar

geothermal ←nuclear (via reactions underground)

and solar ←nuclear

so really, all (?) energy on earth is nuclear energy

Energy geeks, please put on your quibble hats, prepare your hair splitters, and get ready to pick some nits!

What do you think about this slide from my upcoming lecture on solar energy?

Rotting is most definitely an inappropriate way to describe the formation of fossil fuels like oil, methane and coal.

Trying to think of short phrase to describe it is difficult though, pressurized, anaerobic fermentation?

Just checking, Pritzker's name hasn't come up in the Epstein Files has it?

I'm 99.9% sure it is not in there since Republicans would be all over that and I think that Pritzker may be one of the rare billionaires who is not evil trash who should be shunned and ostracized.

It appears as if the host of this podcast (and local AM radio show) is going to host a debate in Salem, OR with all of the major candidates in the GOP primary for governor in early April. It would be like having Alex Jones host the 2028 GOP primary debate for POTUS.
