#Spain ‘We’re proud to be pioneers’: inside Spain’s community energy revolution From Taradell to Galicia, cooperatives are supplying cheap, clean electricity to homes and helping tackle fuel poverty www.theguardian.com/environment/...

So lemme get this straight. You are eliminating the tariffs on tropical fruits, coffee and beef to lower prices since you took the mantel of the "affordability" President today. I'm a little confused, though. If tariffs weren't paid for by me, then how is eliminating them saving me money? Ill wait.

Losing @sfdirewolf.bsky.social today just seems so cruel. I’m sorry you’re gone. Fuck.

Mind-blowingly rare first editions of esoteric books that I got to hold yesterday (courtesy of Justin Sledge), #1 of 5: Meric Casaubon’s “A True and Faithful Relation” (London, 1659), the legendary OG account of the Enochian magic of John Dee and Edward Kelly.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness. I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

Beautiful mural spotted in Oakland,California today #Photography #Oakland #Mural #Art 📷

Put the Epstein Survivors in front of the House and Senate Committees, under Oath and let the name names. This way we know who were there with him.

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment. 2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

We just went in the restaurant we always go to a couple.of times when we're here, and the owner rushed over and hugged me. I feel like crying, things have been so shit lately and then somebody is... nice

"We are not surrounded by cretinous, vicious imbeciles but mostly by careful, thoughtful people who may disagree with us but usually have good reasons for doing so." Fascinating & wise piece from @naomialderman.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/books/2025/n...

I would like to point out the very Face Eating Leopard Party eating faces about this MTG bit. Also, why can’t people just be normal??? Like don’t threaten to kill people…it’s bad? Find another way to blow off steam—go for a run, start crocheting, pick up a book, etc.

Happy “Why the fuck doesn’t The Onion own Infowars” day for those who celebrate!

More hope for Long Covid🌈 from Stellenbosch University; “identified the most predictive biomarker combinations, enhancing diagnostic reliability and paving the way for personalized medicine approaches. www.su.ac.za/en/faculties...

And to even ASK Michelle Obama, who HATED the White House & has NEVER held office, to run for POTUS proves how stupid and desperate most of you are. You’d rather cling to a world that no longer exists and ride the road to hell on the back of nostalgia than help build a new one.

This is a very dangerous moment for the country and the world. A cornered rat will do anything to escape.

Before anyone gets too carried away here.

My most woke comics opinion is that you don’t need to be “good” at drawing in any capacity to make them, as long as the reader understands what they’re seeing the way you *want* them to understand it, then you are successfully cartooning

Happy birthday to the great Veronica Lake. Here is a poster for her last movie, FLESH FEAST, which is horrible but has an insane last minute twist. But even in such dire material, she raises her eyebrow engagingly. #filmsky

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

About a quarter into the new Anne Bishop release and it's scratching an itch. There's something about knowing an author enjoys poetic justice that makes things easier.

among other things i do not understand this idea that she is an exceptionally good prose stylist

insane that you *used to be* able to take an electric train from Seattle to Portland and now such a thing is essentially unthinkable

We bought into the "post scarcity" narrative because digital tech feels so magic and ethereal but we need to get back to an understanding of the material costs and effects of those systems. They are not very post-scarce in reality.

in the actual real world secret police are disappearing americans on behalf of an openly white nationalist government but george packer’s latest is a novel about a world beset by woke totalitarianism

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I purposely gave my email address to The Epoch Times. Know your enemy and all that. They are *relentless*. My inbox has been *inundated* with a constant flow of propaganda dressed up as news. This is what we are up against. If you repeat a lie enough it becomes a truth to some.

these are roe deer by the way

Why is it that Australia’s biggest cultural exports are wildly successful children’s entertainment and the most fucked up horror movies you’ve ever seen?

Epstein's crime-scheming emails probably should've been a meeting

Rewatching Star Trek IV. Still my #1 environmentalism movie targeted at a mainstream audience. Funny, but plays itself straight. Brutally straightforward conservation method, but without seeming preachy. Almost impossible to imagine this getting made today.

To the shock of car makers no...no i don't actually want my car to be like a smartphone. I want it to be like a Nokia 3310

Hey now, we were just talking about the First Graphic Novels yesterday (and their Hugh quality) and today I see an ad in Grimjack for one of the earliest they produced: American Flagg, reprinting Chakin’s original 3-part story. This is a sign I should move these up my want list, right?

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

Public ridicule is an incredibly important tool in the fight against fascism. All these powerful assholes are just people. Any time we can make them remember that they have to live with and answer to US we make the country better.

My next D&D character will be a near-indestructible female barbarian that I will name Princess Mononokia

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

On a rainy day, I recommend heading to your local bookshop and charming the staff into giving you treats. Or on any day, in fact.

Dammit I love libraries. What an unbeatable institution and idea.

Support your local coffee shop. Throw your favorites in replies. Mine are: Rustic Cabin in Duvall, they also have gluten free baked goods. Sandy’s Espresso in Carnation Victor’s Coffee in Redmond, they roast their own beans Cypress Coffee, Redmond Ridge, they use local company Middlefork Roasters

At a protest in flint the genessee county sheriff engaged in real conversation & asked a bunch of good questions w George floyd/ BLM protesters then took off his riot gear and joined it. I felt like I was in some alternate universe

White cop parked next to where I pulled up at a stop light, motioned to me to roll down my window. Cop: What kind of music is that Me: Sorry officer, was it too loud? Cop: No. just, what music? Me: Rhianna? Cop: Good tune. WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED TO ME??

"I did not have the good fortune of living with parents who loved reading or in a household filled with books, but I did have an excellent local library...now that I am an author, it is once again librarians who are helping me to flourish in the absence of other support" (scroll down to read my bit)
