Trump: "If they don't want voter ID, that means they want to cheat. We can't allow cheating on elections. Now, if we need to put in federal controls as opposed to state control -- remember, they're really an agent, they're really accumulating the votes for who wins an election."

But he just doesn't do that. Our critical institutions shouldn't be up to the whims the rich! This is the idea of democracy! Fuck what Bezos wants to do. I literally don't care and shouldn't have to care
In Ruth Marcus’ piece from the New Yorker today she points out that if Bezos put 1% of his wealth in an endowment for the Washington Post and walked away the paper would be funded forever and he’d be known as a hero of journalism until the end of time but he just…doesn’t do that.
today’s tech barons get compared to the robber barons (I’ve done it myself) but it’s notable how the current generation has responded to the philanthropic and cultural legacy of Carnegie et al with their own campaign of wanton destruction of cultural institutions

“Lemon’s arrest under a bogus legal theory is a clear warning shot aimed at other journalists. The unmistakable message is that journalists must tread cautiously because the government is looking for any way to target them.”

As much of Australia cranked air conditioners in this week’s oppressive heatwave, solar met 59% of electricity demand between 9am and 6pm.
More than half of this was from small-scale systems spread across about 4 million roofs. The rest was from large-scale solar farms.
