France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Literally the Supreme Court upheld sodomy bans in 1986 and said homosexuality was worse than rape and nobody even talks about it

Trying this again:

Thank you to @sceneonradio.bsky.social for yet another fantastic season of thought provoking and eye opening journalism.

I love it when trad dudes look at gay actors from the 40s and are 'back when men were men'. Posting a pictures of like danny kaye Hell yeah brother but we agree for very different reasons

“The story behind the Imagination Library is as moving as the program itself. Parton has spoken often about how her father, Robert Lee Parton, never learned to read or write. Growing up, she watched him sign his name with an X. She never forgot it.”

So ominous.

Where’s the tiny domino eventually knocking over the giant one meme with Reagan’s admin dismantling the Fairness Doctrine as one of the smallest and then Limbaugh and Sinclair Group and Palin… And now we’re here. Eh, fine, I’ll give it a go:

The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. (the whole series, tbh)

“That’s me in the corner, that’s me in the spot… light.”

Happy belated birthday to Octavia Estelle Butler, born June 22, 1947

It is time once again to discuss the Most Dad Things we have done in the past year. A couple of reminders: - gender is a social construct, anyone can do Dad Things - you need not be a parent to do a Dad Thing - the definition of a Dad Thing is entirely subjective and maybe made up I’ll go first:

This is the quality of Dad Pun I hope to achieve someday. Really excellent work.

Or what he can neither confirm nor deny about the ones in Blackburn’s.

Ah yes, the Software Poverty Life Cycle.

the actual US 250 party

I think pet cats and trash pandas made some accord long, long ago wherein the wealth is distributed.

omg it’s the rock from Hoppers.

Just heard about Inertia from @mollywood.co’s podcast, they’re working on scaling fusion power and might have some Nerf guns and 250k FPS cameras helping out. I want MOAR CONTENT. Slow Mo Guys would make sense. Or perhaps @vsauce.bsky.social? Y’all get a collab going! This is historic!

I give you Bluesky — looks great! Little full, lotta sports.

why waste time say lot word when few word do trick

did you guys know they still allowed good news

“You absolute skuff-old!”

Wait… what do you call it when it’s phishing, but actual physical mail? 🫠

“It is a textbook example of putting profits over people, with corporate interests trampling residents’ fundamental right to use and enjoy their property," a lawsuit filed by Mississippi residents against xAI on Monday alleged.

Wait ‘til you hear Titus Andromedon’s single. 🍷

Hey, Dwayne The Rock Johnson needs all the work he can get, I assume, so like… no, nobody asked for Moana Live, but … it’s fine?

Ms.Anthropic Miss Anne Thropic

Wow

Wow.

I’m sorry, not really a sportsball person, but the Spurs got one oh SIX and the Knicks one oh SEVEN??

My prehistoric ancestor scrabbling under the sofa-rock shelf for the piece of mammoth tusk the wolf-dog got stuck under there for the bazillionth time.

“Brad Paisley, a Grammy Award-winning American country music singer and songwriter, urged his followers to sign a petition to stop the construction of a 69,000-square-foot data center that would be 50 yards from the Nashville Zoo, which he called “an absolute nightmare scenario”

Oh, yeah; I would rather give my kid the taste of knowledge for too little time to actually do anything productive, instead of not getting them a phone in the first place.

On the other place, Hugh Laurie just delivered a Death of Expertise smackdown for the ages

This… this is art.

There are.. certain parallels…

So much AI anthropomorphism really devolves to the inability of many people to understand that causal efficacy does not equal agency. It is the exact same thought process as a creationist thinking that animal adaptations are indicative of divine intentionality.

Almost a decade ago, I was very Special Interested in mushrooms and developed an organizing training framework based on mycelium. The core teaching was, people think the above-ground part (the mushroom) is the body of the organism, but that isn't the case. So too with movement. (cont)

I’m pretty sure this is how Crocs are still a thing. It’s a long-con, troll-game, Balenciaga-based nonsense.

Duolingo’s Oscar telling me to “hit the showers” after a loss feels very misogynistic, no?

(The following is not intended derogatorily, these are basically my favorite shows.) Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is basically Steven Unverse but with less space travel. (Seriously. They’re both so good. Watch them both.)

Today I learned about an author named… a really, really unfortunate name, at least these days (and probably also his days): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_C...
