As horrible as the US has become on renewables thanks to Trump's policies, it is heartening to see that the renewable revolution charges ahead in the rest of the world. Pakistan, for example, went from no solar, to 30% of is energy from solar in just six years!

Seriously. The Blue Jays had a great series. Respect from a Dodgers fan.
Ditto, every word.
I'm sure no one wants to hear it from me but condolences to the Jays fans, an absolutely incredible season, a juggernaut of a team that deserved to win

This is crazy. The Douglas is all tech bros. Their worst crime in my experience is being unremittingly irritating.
Los Angeles, CA -
LAPD has commanded The Douglas, the nearest bar to Dodger Stadium to turn off the televisions. They are now calling unlawful assembly, though as far as I can tell the only signs of anything are people on the sidewalk. It is the 9th inning.

Really like seeing other people's water capture systems. Recently we re-routed our AC drain into a capture barrel. It produces between 30 and 50 gallons each week during the summer which goes directly into the vegetable garden.
Emptying the rain barrels out for the season. Disconnected them from the downspouts a couple of weeks ago, only got the dehumidifier water. 200 gallon system.

Every blue-state legislature could do this literally right now.
This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.
There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.
