Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.
The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, but the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely.

my experience having been in large organizations of profit and non-profit designations is that almost across the board, the leadership are so terrified of making the Wrong Decision™ that it ends up as not just a desire to never have to make a decision but also a desire to never have to lead

Louisville resident here! Our local government recently made it so Churchill Downs (a billion dollar business) will never have to pay taxes for 30 years. This is while Jefferson County Public Schools is making hundreds of millions of dollars in budget cuts www.wave3.com/2025/12/05/c...
Churchill Downs granted 30-year tax break
Churchill Downs will not have to pay any property taxes for the next 30 years after Louisville Metro Council members approved an extension of the exemption that started back in 2005.

India's solar & battery plant meet "minimum availability requirements of 70% on a monthly basis and 85% annually."
This 301 MW solar & 1204 MWh battery produces electricity at ~6.9 cents/kWh.

I fervently believe that the only way we free ourselves is to embrace a tangible retro future. Walk your dog. Write a book (draft in a notebook!). Knit. Do woodworking projects. Make book nooks. Paint. Buy vinyl. Plant a garden. And with that, I'm off to go sow seeds 😆 youtu.be/zkGk_A4noxI?...

This is happening because OpenAI - a company that does not have anything even approaching a viable business model and is setting money on fire - used borrowed money to advance buy all of the raw materials for RAM production so competitors couldn’t get it
this RAM crisis feels like it’s going to ruin consumer electronics over the next decade. Bloomberg reports that Sony is considering pushing the PS6 release to 2028 or even 2029 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Chris Quinn is a bad journalist
A conscientious journalism grad withdraw from a job when she learned the Cleveland Plain Dealer uses AI to write its stories.
Now the editor is castigating her and journalism professors for not being “prepared for the workforce.”

I do think there’s a certain type of Democrat that realizes it’s possible we are dealing with a perfect storm where almost any Democrat will win, and are terrified we might nominate radical candidates who will actually engage in needed change instead of status quo corporate centrist bullshit.
One of the interesting things this time around is just how hollow the whole thing sounds. In the past, people have been able to use the empty concept of electability to anoint and position the person they demanded, but now that Republicans are getting obliterated everywhere, that doesn't work.
