It's crazy how embarrassing it is to be a fascist. You need bulletproof vests and guns to go watch people get a cupcake in Georgetown? Losers.

We’re not getting there. We are there.

Battery storage is booming in the Western US - even outside of California.

- 7,200 MW of storage as of June 2025
- could have another 3,000 MW by year-end.

Need to keep up this pace if coal is to close out West.

Since I looked it up: The Bismarck was laid down by the Nazi government in 1936, christened by Hitler himself on Valentine’s Day 1939, and damaged so badly in battle by the Royal Navy in 1941 that the Nazis scuttled her. The ship never saw any other government of Germany.

if anything, the historical record reveals the following from the civil war:

we didn't kill enough confederates. we did not jail enough of them. we did not expropriate nowhere enough of the blood money from the criminal plantation aristocracy and we did not justly compensate and protect freemen.

Okay so this is where you do have to give Joe Biden and the Democrats credit for clocking this one ahead of time and rushing the Respect for Marriage Act out in 2022 before they lost the House.

Exclusive: Medical journal rejects Kennedy's call for retraction of vaccine study An influential U.S. medical journal is rejecting a call from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to retract a large Danish study that found that aluminum ingredients in vaccines do not increase health risks for children, the journal's editor told Reuters.

A large-scale, government-funded study tracking 1.2M children over two decades found something Kennedy doesn't like, so he wants it retracted.

Imagine being so wedded to a certain style of horse-race political analysis that you "nothingburger" away the very likely possibility that the current President of the United States *raped children* and is using the vast and powerful apparatus of the government he controls to cover it up.

"These devastating reductions will result in an estimated 18 million children losing access to free school meals." good Lord

Democracy dies with billionaires buying the media so when the fascist President tells a lie so blatant it can't be massaged into truthiness the newspapers say the actual facts merely "paint a contrasting picture."

Little Rock, the capital city of Tom Cotton's home state of Arkansas, has one of the highest violent crime rates of any city in the United States.

D.C. doesn't even crack the top-10.

Penn’s law school pauses scholarship honoring its first Black female graduate, plans to close equal opportunity office The university also is pausing a scholarship program which honors its first Black female graduate, Sadie T.M. Alexander.

Deborah Martorell, a broadcast meteorologist from Puerto Rico, was a member of the latest Blue Origin crew on a sub-orbital flight.

Put another way - there is a climate motivation to push an overinflated AI hype bubble during this period of natural gas turbine supply constraints.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Counterculture and punk rock is when all of the richest companies in the world try to force you to use something

the position of the roberts court is both that racism isn’t real and that the constitution mandates a colorblindness so strict that it neither recognizes nor can act on social inequalities. incidentally, this is essentially the court’s holding in plessy v. ferguson.

The jobs numbers are bad so I fired the guy who does the counting

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

This was recorded in a parallel universe where Fox Business exists but batteries do not.

They think you don't understand what a battery does. Largely because of the Inflation Reduction Act & cost declines, the U.S. now how about 14 Hoover Dams worth of batteries installed on the grid. They raised taxes on clean energy & are trying to justify the blackouts & price spikes they will cause.

Motherfuckin wind farms!

We are living through one of the biggest corporate gaslightings in history at the hands of established old guard tech reporters who, for whatever reason, think it's necessary to make stuff up like "Microsoft laid off 15,000 people because they're making money from AI" which is demonstrably false

Tweet from Republican Rep. Don Bacon, saying "Exciting news to announce! All frozen education funding for the upcoming school year have been released, following my letter to the OMB! It helps centers like KidsCanOmaha and our schools!"

"Exciting news to announce! The robbers I let into the house have agreed to give back the money they stole!"

Republicans are pedos

bar chart showing china importing no LNG from the US for the past 4 months and almost no crude oil.

The rest of the world will learn an important lesson from China. Build out your renewables so you aren't as dependent on imported fossil fuels and the whims of idiots.
