“The company is the largest renewable energy developer in the U.S., but it is leaning into natural gas to meet the growing power demand from data centers.”

The fact Bovino is a career civil servant and not a political appointee really shows CBP needs to be abolished root and branch. Let the IRS do customs (seriously).

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

each nvidia blackwell chip consumes about 1,200 watts per hour which is on par with an electric space heater. now imagine 100,000 space heaters running in a single building

Trump's farmer bailout will primarily go to massive row-crop farmers. Big Ag as they say. Smaller and diversified farms are getting something else - it rhymes with shackjit.

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

A 5-month-old baby died, & 3 surviving children, ages 2, 4, & 5, had to be hospitalized with rickets, osteopenia, vitamin D deficiency, & significant developmental delays bc their parents put them on “alkaline diets.”

Anyone saying alkalization has health benefits is a murderous liar & a charlatan.

A packed theater showing of Wake Up Deadman, my review: a delightful romp from @rianjohnson.bsky.social that Blueskiers will thoroughly enjoy. Lots of laughs, but also some deep and thoughtful moments relevant to our insane times. Very fun, would recommend.

I wonder how long it'll be before SCOTUS decides to tear down all vaccine requirements by mandating bullshit religious exemptions. Part of their overarching goal of destroying public school in part by making it unsafe for middle class parents to send their kids to

key part of modern american conservatism is people viewing their children as their property imo

To go after a family for no other reason than that their daughter sparked sympathy is appalling. Absolutely appalling. Beyond cruelty into outright sadism.

too many people want to have kids but don't want to parent
