Ring set up a series of package theft "sting operations" with police around the country where they would put trackers in empty Amazon boxes / police and cameras would stake out the empty packages. as far as we know this resulted in a grand total of zero arrests

“only” 8%
When it comes to rising electricity demand everyone talks about AI and data centres.
But their contribution to rising electricity demand is only 8% between 2025 and 2030.
The rest is largely electrification of transport, buildings and industry.
This says new @iea.org Electricity 2026 report.

I thought he would disappear without a trace because he left nothing valuable behind. As much as Breitbart was a horrible villain, he left ideas and words and a memory. People (bad people) still mourn him and discuss what he said and did as relevant.
Remember when Charlie Kirk got shot and the right was like "THIS IS CIVIL WAR!" and three weeks later he was completely forgotten about? That's going to be most all the rest of these assholes too

I was thinking how when Scott Adams was about to go and rightwingers were saying “you have no idea what impact it’s going to have when Scott Adams dies, he was loved by millions” and then he just died and nothing happened. These ghouls just disappear when they stop talking

Really appalling. There were huge issues with it, particularly with Chinese imports and drugs, but cancelling was of course the wrong move coupled with the absurd tariffs
