“…they’ll stay connected to the regular grid, but will be outfitted with solar panels, battery backup systems, or other infrastructure, drawing on that power for their home use and opening up the prospect of selling any excess. The city…would pay for the installation & maintenance of these systems”

every day's a beautiful day to go to "Settings" > "Content and media" and turn off "Autoplay videos and GIFs"

Even if his he lying, this is not a remotely acceptable way to conduct the business of the world.

Moved to Maine two years ago. When I went to my dentist, I saw a really ugly painting of Jesus guiding the work of a dentist. I thought, 'Oh, that's weird,' and left it at that. Today, Easter Sunday, I went to go grab something from Hannaford's. No one was there. Went to Walmart. No one was there.

30-7. (School record is 37, apparently.)

27-7. Bottom of the fifth.

One of the announcers is now talking about video footage that he got from his birdfeeder.

24-7.

Sorry. It's now 21-7.

I went to a college baseball game today. The home team team is currently winning 19-7. It's the bottom of the fourth.

I've been told I have to pivot to video.

New website!

With today's Salah news and Gakpo likely heading out, this question kinda/sorta answers itself, regardless of whether or not the club brings in Diomande, Gordon, or any of the more flashy others (Elise, Doue, etc.) #LFC

This also left them with a high back line that partly explained why they were letting so many goals in at the beginning of the season -- Van Dijk and Ibo had to go wide to cover.

A brief, late night thread on #LFC.

If you're waking up and are using this site to piece together information as to what's happening in Iran, don't forget that there are channels like Al Jazeera you can watch, too:

I hope to see a future where CPB/NPR gets funding close to or on par with the BBC.

I know there's a lot going on, but I hope to see a future where CPB/NPR gets funding close to or on par with the BBC.

Kanopy has a lot of Frederick Wiseman films. They’re worth the watch, and the only thing you need to sign up for Kanopy is a library card.

I worked on and off as a journalist from when I was 16 to maybe when I was 29 or so. I remember being told that it was perfectly fine to clean up um's and uh's.

To that point: I feel like there's a line in an @adamserwer.bsky.social piece from late last year where he spoke about how the Roberts court thinks that the true crime isn't its interest in reviving the Antebellum constitution, but when its racism is publicly perceived.

it was 20 years ago today... that my friends made one of the first mashup videos on da internet! wow! Memories indeeeed

Happy anniversary to this sketch.

We live in a society. Vaccines help us help each other. A lack of vaccines help us hurt each other.

Charley Harper, "Darwin's Finches", from "The Giant Golden Book of Biology", 1961

It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.

Here are the child vaccine recommendations as of November 2024. Keep them with you, advocate for your kids, get the vaccines they need to stay healthy and promote immunity for the whole community. #Health #CDC #vax

Parent and pediatrician here. All vaccines are still available & recommended. Talk to your pediatrician for more info. Know this: Even as our government shifts its recommendation language, I would never forgo the RSV, hepatitis A & B, or meningitis vaccines for my own kids.

General rule of thumb for folks: when people talk about AI the press, imagine them using that language for Clippy. Also: AI’s are AI’s because of the work of poorly paid, poorly treated data labelers across the world. Someone should extend a hand of labor solidarity to them.

This is a simultaneous submission.

Another way to restart the world’s idea machine is to restore funding and grants to universities, researchers, and artists.

Toad, for Christ’s sake,

I sometimes teach in Providence. In the classroom where I most frequently teach, there's a section labeled for where students are supposed to go for active shooters. It is a cliche of a phrase, but I want to echo the Professor here and say: it does not have to be this way.

A friendly reminder regarding Brown: newswise, these kinds of things are always notoriously fluid. Just because you see something on social media does not make it immediately true. That being said: there are always good sources of info out there. Look to local journalists, the university, etc.

Co-sign.

FYI:

(As is often the case: he's right, too.)

One of my favorite filmmakers talking about one of my mom's favorite painters.

I've said this on and off for a minute, but: bring back instructional short films before feature films -- the kind MST3K/RiffTrax riff on.

The hepatitis B vaccine had been recommended for all newborns since 1991. From 1990-2019, acute hepatitis B infections reported among children and teens fell 99 percent. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/w...

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

As pointed out in this article, it will be many years before the full impact of this is felt (ie, liver cancer and hepatitis B-related deaths). There will be a spike in cases and the public will wonder how it happened and what current scapegoat they can blame it on. www.statnews.com/2025/12/05/c...
