Grid-scale batteries are going in an absolutely wild pace. Every whingey objection to renewables you've ever heard is basically solved by batteries. This is happening whether any of the hopeless dipshits running the US want it or not.

Easy to say but try not to indulge in spiralling. There will be ups and downs and likely more downs and prob even more downs...What was I saying?

Even in my own singular opinion, when I’m asked for a ‘best’ or ‘favourite’ my answers vary from instance to instance. The idea you can have an objective ‘best X books’ is daft tbh.

🚨 TIME IS RUNNING OUT! 🚨 If we don't act, Trump will illegally destroy the US Forest Service and our public lands forever. We need thousands of letters sent to Congress today. Click the link and take action: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

This is insanity: Trump's DOJ is about to "settle" his lawsuit against the IRS by creating a $1.7 billion slush fund to pay off victims of Biden "weaponization." I talked to Jamie Raskin about this. It's even more corrupt than it first appears. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2105...

This is the situation I refer to the most when trying to explain a the state of book bans right now. Utah has state mandated book destruction for books like Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, and Damsel by Elana K Arnold. The vast majority of the books are written by women.

The rhythm. It's right behind me, isn't it?

so anyway, the president has these awkward press availabilities every day where he falls asleep sitting at his desk while people compliment him, then he wakes up to ramble about how his blood cures cancer, then he calls a reporter an asshole

Sometimes I get mad when I realize that asshole over there is made out of stars too

I admire the hell out of these Texas Tech students, who held a funeral for academic freedom: pen.org/texas-tech-a...

Virginia Supreme Court declaring Democratic gerrymandering illegal while Republicans are literally wrapping themselves in Trump flags while disenfranchising black southerners is the most on brand moment for the modern USA.

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

This is hilarious.

A whole Washington Post oped hitting AOC for daring to criticize the robber barons. It’s like Bezos and the Post are trying to make her president.

The Bible is very clear that we should make and worship golden idols, I support this

chief justice roberts doesnt want us to think the supreme court is political oh sorry, i dropped this

If I'm going to continue to make 400 times the salary of the average employer and get a nine-digit golden parachute regardless of the company's performance, then certain sacrifices are going to have to be made.

the first three questions Hegseth takes at this morning's press conference are from OAN, Real America's Voice, and the Daily Wire -- all right-wing propaganda outlets

This is a set of frames of the surface of Comet 67P taken by the Rosetta mission on 1 June 2016. The particles in the foreground are bits of dust and ice or cosmic rays effects. The "waterfall" of points moving in the background are stars.

When people talk about self-censorship, they often focus on campus events or classroom discussions. But self-censorship of research is different and more impt. Big difference btw "I don't want to offend others" to "I don't want to speak truth to power" www.chronicle.com/article/near...

It's impossible not to have a smudge on your glasses.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Have been rehearsing/performing(not the solo part) this piece all week and it is completely entrenched in my brain. I like it so not complaining, def has a vibe youtu.be/BpI0gU6ohfI?...

In honor of #EarthDay, here is a reminder that there is a bot account that posts a photo of the whole Earth from a million miles away, taken by the Deep Space Climate Observatory, several times daily. You can view all the images (and zoom in) here: epic.gsfc.nasa.gov

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.

“We need the Supreme Court to save us.” Translation: “We tried cheating and it backfired, now we’re workshopping the loopholes.”

@wired.com please don't have auto run audio on your home page! That way lies madness also I have blood pressure issues.

The NYT big expose on SCOTUS today pairs well with @ariberman.bsky.social and @pemalevy.bsky.social's cover story on how ~everything wrong with this country today can be laid at the feet of John Roberts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Holy something from someplace it's real! I'm so happy www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014...

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

Thank God it's just his birthday for Christ's sake

We should have never doubted this man
