Im looking into a small solar install myself to charge a new find, a 1971 GE electric tractor. Plan is fit the sunny side of the tractor shed with solar panels and a charge controller that will plug into the tractor, use the tractor (36v 200AH) as a module battery bank to plug into an inverter.

I’m tryin’ out here with clean energy tech, but the truth is, being pushy is a bad look

hooooboy I have a feeling some of the people I work with on town level stuff would be thrilled to slap a wee tax on second homes, which comprise almost half of our homes if NYC touches the hot stove, maybe we can too

The hoes in this post are the fossil fuel industry 🌅

if bluesky never recovers I propose we all move to usenet

it is well and truly over for you hoes

Thrilled that my first new short story in several years, "Constellations," about astronauts crashlanding on a distant planet, has been published by the @technologyreview.com. Acquiring editor Rachel Cortland. Art by Rogan Brown. Free link to avoid the paywall: ter.li/r3tbrsgr

Extreme weather is driving up the cost of food, electricity, and home insurance. Tech barons and fossil fuel execs are exploiting communities. @cplusc.bsky.social new strategic framework/agenda charts a path forward to rebalance power for the working class and address the climate crisis at scale.

you love to see @emilysweeney22.bsky.social getting her flowiz. disappointed in the NYT for not reporting out the Dot Rat tattoo www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/s...

I’m curious what the issues are with doing this in floodplains (floods are our disaster in the Catskills, the towns and their infrastructure are in narrow river valleys)

fox just had a banner referring to mamdani's planned grocery store as "trader zo's," and one must admit that's a good bit

when we toss the bastards out and remake the US government from the ground up, we should put a skunk on all the money

I'm biased, but I think this is the apex example of how our discourse has become detached from reality. The reality has moved rapidly in one direction (dramatic fall in solar and battery costs; climate change seeming worse than expected). The discourse has moved in the exact opposite direction

this asshole is just Online Zoomer Colonel Cathcart, isn’t he

Wow, Zeldin, Burgum, *and* Wright all came to NYC today to break ground on the NESE pipeline, the first major pipeline project in NY in over a decade. I’m told Nassau County exec & GOP gov candidate Bruce Blakeman was there as well. Hochul by all indications was not and has not made any statement

Begun, the Butlerian Jihad has.

The thing is, the miasma of social media & the negativity it fosters *also* insured that almost no one was aware of the incredible advances in climate & energy policy under Biden. It's not *just* the economy. It's everything. That's the point: the info environment rewards doom & resentment.

being autistic w/ a loving partner is so sick because growing up you're conditioned that you're weird and offputting when you speak passionately about things and that fear is still in you even as you grow older but then you just nerd out at your gf and she goes "god I love you so much"

Japanese sci-fi: two robots in space, yearning American sci-fi: man gets the author's beliefs on polygamy confirmed by the aliens of ramalama IV french sci-fi: two horny bounty hunters visit the Galaxy of Breasts British sci-fi: nuclear war. Everyone dead. America's fault

if I let these stupid times turn me into an accelerationist, you better take me out back and put me out of my misery

me with the time machine, to my 1996 self: the year is 2026. the Pope is the only world leader you respect. you believe unironically that the cultural mores and sexual behavior of San Francisco are destroying America. computers were a mistake

Been wondering why this array has had lower production...

Okay bluesky I need your help I live in Massachusetts. You might think we're a bastion of lefty intellectualism but our state government a clusterfuck of post-puritan real estate bros Reskeet this. Text it to your "friends from home" Help this find every masshole poster who will know what to do

Orban's inability to prevent last year's Pride protests—attended by 300k despite being banned—was a turning point in his authoritarian grip of the country. Queer people are always leading the fight against authoritarianism, as we are often its first targets. Never cower to fear.

young X and didn’t expect to live this long. it’s all gravy

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

Just recorded a great pod, and I gotta say ... solar and batteries are going to win. They are the main dish. Everything else is a side dish. In 10 years, you won't be able to find anyone who disagrees with this.

I won’t apologize for my happiness (eats entire bag of malted milk balls)

I won’t apologize for my happiness (bought some cool sketch books despite sucking ass at drawing)

it's happening "PhD degree in Climatology or Atmospheric Sciences" "Deep knowledge of the mortgage business"

hey babe. name’s Zaphod. this guy boring you?

dear cishets: the Pride flags will only get bigger and uglier until morale improves

Happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes 🐀🎶🎉

An autistic man has found himself in breach of the Data Protection Act after illegally accumulating an encyclopaedia of information about you in his own memory, it has been reported.

The only lasting way out of the fossil dependency is shifting electricity generation to renewables and nuclear. And electrifying the economy as rapidly as possible. We will present our electrification strategy before the summer. Electrifying Europe means making Europe more independent.

Our goal in 2026 is to get funding in the 2027 city budget to start a generous subsidy program tied to good, union jobs to upgrade 1-2 family homes to high energy efficiency. Program would start in 2027. #GasFreeNYC

GREAT TITS CAN AND DO KILL

all you fascists bound to lose

Catskills decarb transition is such a vibe

a lot of the people reacting to this have never experienced the life-changing powers of a girl who is slightly mean
