Have you written more about this somewhere, or do you have a good article to point to? I understand the need for maintaining and upgrading existing grids in wealthier countries, but why don't I want Pakistanis or Chadians to get their power from their rooftops?

Is this a bad thing? It sounds like their utility was corrupt and inept, and people now have the ability to bypass it.

Awesome to see this in photos! It can be hard to visualize the recent surge in solar power globally.

There was a 30 Rock episode about this, but still a great idea!

Yup. When the neighbors you're worried about are some of the most academically accomplished students in the world, you just don't want more neighbors. The NIMBYs brought this on themselves.

How Lincoln Park High School Students Are Fighting To Make Armitage Avenue Safer Students are leading the push for protected bike lanes on Armitage Avenue. So far, their petition calling for the city to address safety issues on the street has more than 500 signatures.

The kids are gonna be alright*

*if elected officials want them to stay alive while biking in Chicago

But so far, @aldknudsen.bsky.social has only made his ward *less safe* for people on bikes. He spent ward menu funds to rip out a traffic diverter at the zoo!

Doesn't Tesla also make vehicles in Xinjiang?

I think this is the answer. Way more people involved.

Nearly 80 million people, including lawfully present immigrants, count on Medicaid for primary care, prescriptions, hospital visits, and more. Cutting Medicaid puts the health of millions of people at risk. #NotOnMyWatch

The economic fallout from last week will last a long time, I'm afraid. Even assuming he doesn't play this game again (and he probably will), the man stood up and took full credit for wrecking the economy.

Nice! Thanks for being out there in the cold.

Which Itasca is this, IL or TX? Beautiful building in the photo!

I wouldn't count on them not checking! Most audits are of regular people and are highly automated. It's the audits of rich people that require lots of IRS staff time. But I feel you.

Wow, straight-up New York Post treatment

I'm disappointed in those groups and I hope Polis stands strong.

For the extreme sexiness of Brandon.

Spelled Huang on the show but yeah

That guy has a gift for obscenity.

Video: Syria’s Rebel Group Destroy Tomb of Ousted President’s Father Rebels damaged and burned the tomb of former Syrian president, Hafez al-Assad, in what some are calling an act of revenge.

Looking forward to the rebels burning Trump's mausoleum in 25 years or so.

I thought this was a great exchange. Felix made the devil's advocate arguments and Elizabeth articulately ripped them to shreds. Very educational.

There are non-student residents in that area, you know. But the Margo Smith thing is surely explained by her position against developing People's Park.

Dude, you kicked ass this week. Hope your insurance problem gets sorted out soon

I don't think I've encountered Hasan Piker before, but he says some wild stuff very confidently. No, dude, the feds could not have arrested Greg Abbott for human trafficking. And no, that would not have been a popular move.

Neoliberalism doesn't believe in food staple subsidies and cash welfare programs, though.

Kinda the opposite. Not an expert but my understanding is that AMLO did a lot to silence critical news outlets.

Not much of a spy if she's so openly pro-Putin, though...?

Thanks for sharing, this was lovely! I never knew this story either.

Right, mayor-elect

One more data point for this being a year for outside candidates
