Least surprising news of the day. Also, apparently the Trump admin cannot legally use money from the judgement fund for this. electrek.co/2026/05/21/i...

So John Roberts grew up in a exclusive community explicitly guaranteed to be free of Black and Jewish people. Before college he worked nepo jobs for the sons of Bethlehem Steel execs that paid the equivalent of $88-117/hr today. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Vineyard Wind is saving New England ratepayers money now, but we should remember that Trump delayed permitting by a year with a last-minute rug pull and then did his best to stop construction. And additional projects have been delayed or cancelled. electrek.co/2026/05/01/1...

After dozens of captured wild sloths died at Sloth World in FL, finally 13 survivors have been transferred to a zoo that knows how to care properly for them. insideclimatenews.org/news/2404202...

TBH, when I was 20-21ish my college friends and I were mostly pretty bad at the meeting women thing, but desperate as we were, everyone thought 16 yo's were way too young to chase. Like a 2 yr gap was the outer limit of social acceptability. 30-16 would have been unthinkable.

In addition to everything else, Hasan Piker told a false story about Einstein and Israel and he's a tankie to boot. Why do leftists fall for this? www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I did not dance upon his pole He didn't introduce me to this asshole Whom I married but don't share the bed Never met him, as I've said. So stop your questions, I'll never tell That I helped traffic girls to living hell Where oligarchs huddled in Epstein's cave Free to be their utmost depraved.

Got farmland that has become unusable? Put solar on it. This plan could add 21 GW of new solar generation to the CA grid. www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

We could really use this in New England! www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

Trump and Alabama regulators are comfortable with the idea of methane leakage from coal mines blowing up people's houses. We've been doing explosive gas monitoring for decades. It's just not that expensive or difficult in comparison to the risk it mitigtes. insideclimatenews.org/news/2103202...

Public acceptance for nuclear power in the US is predicated on the assurance that it is strictly regulated by experts. So the best way to reawaken the anti-nuclear movement (short of an accidental release) is to kill safety regs to build plants faster. "Be careful what you wish for."

Revolution Wind has begun delivering power to the New England grid! The project is 93% complete and will be fully operational later this year. This plus Vineyard Wind will total 1.5 GW of offshore wind in NE, with hopefully much more to come. www.google.com/amp/s/www.wp...

The problem with DST is the sudden shift of an hour twice a year. We should really be doing what our brains evolved many millions of years to do: adapt gradually day by day to the changing of the seasons. Just pick standard time and stick with it.

Northeast US residents: next time you open your electric and gas bills, remember that Trump is directly responsible for slowing down offshore wind construction that could have lowered them. This includes his first term too. www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...

It seems like the most common "consequence" to killing people with a vehicle is "they'll have to live with what they've done." This one won't even lose her license permanently. The cherry on top is she moved millions to shield them from the civil suit. www.sfchronicle.com/crime/articl...

Oh no, "white food" is under threat of being "erased!" Oh, the humanity!

‘Whatever actions are coming out of Washington, here in Massachusetts, we’re moving forward in any which way to bring more energy into this region,’ said Governor Maura Healey The plan calls for at least 40 GW of offshore wind energy via an interregional transmission system @ctmirror.org reports:

The Trump admin is entirely made up of people who are either propagandist liars or scared little shits. Or maybe a weird combination of the two.

You should read this piece. Adam is right: the core theory behind the anti-ICE mobilization here in Minneapolis isn’t really a political ideology, but that neighbors are neighbors and must be protected.

As the Patriots snap the Texans' 10-game winning streak en route to the AFC championship game, NOW is there enough evidence to conclude that they're a really good team that just happened to have a weak regular season schedule?

Garbarino in 1775: "What really bothers me is how comfortable people have become not listening to the Royal Governor or his Majesty's troops. When a redcoat tells me not to do something, I don't do it. That should be the normal way things go."

Least surprising court decision you'll see in a while, given the utter bullshit Trump order that is being overturned. www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...

This take is correct. There's almost nothing Trump could do to harm his standing with his base. The only things they believe in are Trump and what Trump tells them to believe. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Yeah, ICE really IS hiring people without screening them at all. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Rules are rules, amirite?

There's something seriously wrong with Katie Miller. She and Stephen are clearly soulmates. But that begs an important question: how can people without souls be soulmates? slate.com/news-and-pol...

Today Elon Musk said he doesn't care about the $1 trillion payday. He just wants 25% control of Tesla so no one can take away the robot army he plans to build. Unreported was how much ketamine he took before the conference call. electrek.co/2025/10/22/e...

Anyone who has criticized No Kings as "cringe" has surrendered the privilege of having their opinions taken seriously. Everyone else, please act accordingly.

Apparently, notwithstanding what the NYT thinks, high voltage DC transmission is fine. The NYT still does some real journalism, but one has to sort out what is real from what is serving a right wing agenda. cleantechnica.com/2025/10/12/c...

Yay! New England gen is still about 50% fossil, but the vast majority is CCGT gen running on natural gas, which is by far the cleanest & most efficient fossil gen available. NE has an exit plan for natural gas that is led by offshore wind and hydro from Quebec, but Trump is screwing with it.

Banality of evil and all that. Bullshit - coal mine operators already know how to do methane monitoring . It's not even that expensive, esp against the risk of blown up houses and dead people. Probably know they'll find gas everywhere if they start looking. insideclimatenews.org/news/0310202...

After decades, radioactive brine from oil and gas wells is still being used as road de-icer in PA. And the GOP position is that it's fine. If this material was produced in any other way, it would require secure disposal. insideclimatenews.org/news/0110202...

Everyone is afraid to talk about how beef production is an important driver of global warming. Although fossil fuels are a bigger problem, animal ag in general and beef/dairy in particular are big emitters of greenhouse gases. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Look, we live in an era of dueling realities where little is certain, but when you complain your life was threatened by a stopped escalator, one thing you are definitionally not is a strongman." www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

IANAL, but you didn't need to be one to predict this outcome. “the height of arbitrary and capricious government conduct.” Everyone with the resources to fight should be fighting in court. Trump admin can be pushed to the wall with legal challenges. electrek.co/2025/09/22/i...

It's a bit of a cliche now, but again Trump is acting in a way indistinguishable from a Russian agent that somehow became president. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is potentially catastrophic and not something that we can just adapt to. Whether the probability is currently estimated to be high or low, the potential result is so bad that we must work to avoid it.

Elements of the US far left are toxic and this article explains why the far left is an utter failure in US politics except to help elect Repubs. There are some good people in the DSA and it could be a force for positive good, but it isn't right now. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Fucking sue them, Orsted. You will win. Force the govt to burn resources defending the indefensible. Make them look like idiots. www.offshorewind.biz/2025/08/23/b...

So much of right wing culture shit is just imaginary. No one on the left is offended by sororities making dance videos. We're also not looking down on white right wingers for living in small towns or listening to country music. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Right wingers are getting a little overwrought right now

Now Republicans want to waste $1.5B selling off brand new EV delivery trucks, just because they're EVs. BTW, the bidding process for these EV trucks occurred under the direction of Trump-appointed Postmaster DeJoy. electrek.co/2025/06/24/r...

Republicans in Congress and Trump have have dropped a dead-on-arrival "law" to signal how they want to make US air dirtier. electrek.co/2025/06/12/r...

Nothing to see here. Just China using its leverage to punish the US over Trump's tariffs. cleantechnica.com/2025/06/06/a...

If he hasn't done it already, this would be a really good time for Musk to plan a long vacation in a country without an extradition treaty with the US. Or maybe he should just get on his private jet now even without a plan. 🤔
