A real endorsement of data centers coming to your area! F this! NV Energy, the utility that has supplied the bulk of Lake Tahoe’s electricity for decades, told Liberty Utilities...it will stop providing power after May 2027. Why? NV Energy's redirecting capacity to data centers. 🧾 is.gd/As4GBT

I think the staff members at the NYT are having a contest for who can write the most misleading headline for an article or op-ed.

Trump Unwittingly Breaks Chinese Taboo Against Napping Facedown In Soup Bowl

@techconnectify.bsky.social Minivan superiority confirmed

I feel I should alert Bluesky to the baby foxes in our yard

Geothermal power is a huge opportunity for the US. Rather than repeating our mistakes with solar, we should move aggressively to build a domestic supply chain to support it. A new report from @rockymtninst.bsky.social:

The more we experience fossil fuel volatility, the clearer the case becomes: "The war has certainly accelerated clean tech adoption." This is what I told The Times for their piece on how the energy crisis drives adoption of solar, EVs and heat pumps. www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

Just so people know, it’s not just the New York Times. Big outlets are the least likely to cite my reporting when I got there first. Who does? Small outlets and indie journalists. Support us and you’re supporting all of journalism.

Since Bolts began, there've been several instances of articles elsewhere building on us with no credit. The only place I can think of where this has happened repeatedly is the NYT. What is happening over there?! Please remember to support small independent media like Bolts.

Tag yourself and learn about your bees🐝 I drew 100 bees, but there are over 20000 species of bees!

More and more companies are making the intended outcome of their AI-powered customers service systems blatantly obvious: deflection. So yeah, you're not using these tools to make the experience better, you're using them to pad your bottom line in ways which will long-term hurt.

Timeline Cleanse. Have some moss with lilac petals

Cancellation week begins now. No more fusty 30 year old subscriptions to MSM outlets and publications I no longer trust. I’ll sub them out for smaller, harder-working news orgs that are that’s more reliable and easier to trust. Bye, Bari. When Colbert goes so do I.

Really tired of stories calling things a blow to Democrats when they are actually a blow to democracy

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.

Tuesday's Weather Rating: 8/10 A chilly start, but it quickly warms up this afternoon with high temperatures in the upper 60s and a light breeze. Sunshine is also in control for most of the day. The vibes are pretty dang good out there today!!

Timeline Cleanse. Have some moss with lilac petals

The Trump regime planned to waive 28 environmental laws to bulldoze a 30-foot wall straight through Big Bend National Park. Then, a 29-year-old photographer from a town of 150 people fought back—and made the regime officially cave. Hit the ❤️ and read how she pulled off the impossible:

Ancient Greek ballots used to kick politicians out of Athens! Broken pieces of pot, known as ‘ostraca’, were used in a democratic process known as an ‘ostracism’. If a candidate received 6,000 votes, they were exiled for 10 years! Ostraca inscribed ‘Themistocles’, 482 BC 📷 by me #Archaeology

Woo buddy lemme tell ya, touching a 300-yr-old journal written by a human being who had similar dreams, days, travels, worries and fears, and seeing how they turn those very human emotions into absolutely breathtaking art and a thriving life?...well, it changes you a little bit

Anyway print out your fucking photos and start writing letters you fucking weirdos Touch grass means also leaving some of your memories in the real so someone three generations from now can know you just as intimately as your friends

I loved researching and writing this piece bc it's about the value of government documents in the midst of chaos. Government documents have always mattered. We have always known that they matter! Access and transparency of government docs = accountability and transparency= core of democracy.

Years ago IKEA ran a full page newspaper ad for a plant sale with a giant headline that said KILL ONE, GET ONE FREE.

Me every day looking at the headlines

From the Fort Worth Zoo (@fortworthzoo.bsky.social) FB & just in time for Mother's Day, freshly-hatched masked lapwing chicks (Vanellus miles). Native to Australia, NZ, NG, they're fierce parents, willing to charge/swoop at animals that threaten their babies.

Happy 100th Birthday Sir David www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/k...

A federal judge ruled on Thursday that the Trump administration’s cancellation of more than 1,400 previously approved grants by the National Endowment for the Humanities violated the Constitution, while also creating a broad “chilling effect.”

It was so cool and fun to feel, for a little while, like it mattered what was or wasn't true
