Another for instance! Down in Queensland, Australia, fossil gas used to provide all the peak power. Then batteries start nibbling at it. Then chomping on it. And now they've basically eaten it all up. No more gas. Look at this graphic! Glorious. reneweconomy.com.au/big-batterie...

The ghost post is still there on my timeline but it’s been removed again. Can still quote post the ghost. @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

Take away the bubble and we'd call the things AI can do "plug-ins." Some would use them, and others wouldn't, and some uses would be productive, and others would be foolish, but we wouldn't bet the economy on them, nor squander our last dribbles of potable water to cool their data centers. 23/

EXCLUSIVE: My latest story for @theatlantic.com : www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The White House bunker has never been intended to be a place a president would actually run a crisis from long-term. Why is Trump evidently trying to change that now & build a super-bunker? There's no scenario I can think of where this makes sense—except one: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-troubl...

Now this is an informative thread

Someone described it as "a combination of Amelia Badelia and the Memento Guy" and that is pretty accurate to my experience so far bsky.app/profile/edbu...

I’ll be honest, I don’t — and never have — found the joy that some people claim to find in LLMs, and believe they're being sold using a deceptive coordinated marketing campaign built on fear. Claude is a website. I will never respect a website. www.wheresyoured.at/i-will-never-respect-a-website/

A while back we were joking here about how a little over a year ago, some economist must've looked at a monkey's paw and said "I wish regular people appreciated textbook economics more."

Tonight On Pod Save America: Graham Platner Has A Final Solution For Income Inequality

You notice how quiet China has been? That's because you never interfere with an enemy who is in the process of destroying himself.

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force. Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

I enjoyed this so much! The Salt-Black Tree introduced new, memorable characters and landed a solid ending.

I gotta say that with this administration malice permeates every motivation and stupidity permeates every execution

thank you bad bunny for allowing all the thirty eight year olds on bluesky to do the leo pointing meme at the television

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Amazingly precise

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

One thing to keep in mind with regard to voter intimidation at polling places is that cities across the country have developed or are developing large rapid response networks around ICE. It would be easy to leverage those same networks to protect polling places or escort vulnerable voters.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

a video taken by the eyewitness, Emily Heller, shows agents denying a self-identified physician access to the victim and telling bystanders to “just relax.” “How can I relax? You just killed my fucking neighbor,” Heller responded. “How the fuck do you show up to work every day?”

Should Erika Kirk be reported to her employer for insufficiently mourning Charlie Kirk?

BREAKING: Explosions felt across New York City as full socialism begins

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

I think it’s pretty likely Bari Weiss quits far sooner than anyone expects because if there’s anything we learned from her tenure at the New York Times it’s that this lady hates working, absolutely despises it, and she probably had to send like four emails today

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Trump, Hegseth, and Sen. Cotton go caroling anntelnaes.substack.com/p/whiskey-pe...

This thread by @annabower.bsky.social from Hegseth’s confirmation hearings is amazingly prescient now that he’s admitting war crimes, but also the questioning from Sen. Kelly that brutally called out Hegseth’s lying ass shows why the guy is carrying a grudge. So unqualified compared to Kelly.

Slithers at you

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

I've seen so many people online using the government shutdown as an opportunity to demonize people who receive SNAP benefits, WIC and any kind of government assistance. Here's the thing: I agree with those people. We need to end the WHITE welfare state BECAUSE welfare works. A thread:

I have taken the freedom of speech that was in the Constitution and which you were probably using for peaceful protest Forgive me the courts said they were so agitating and so irritating

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

When a state or local law enforcement official violates your rights, you can sue for money damages. When a federal official violates your rights — you largely cannot, thanks to a quirk of the law and the Supreme Court's decision not to find an inherent cause of action to sue under the Constitution.

1/ Nancy Mace was on Bill Maher & told pregnant women not to take Tylenol & instead take ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is proven to cause birth defects... So Nancy Mace spreads disinformation that causes birth defects and they call Antifa terrorists? Let’s be very clear about what’s happening. 🧵
