Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

Relating to Spider-Man at 19: I too am underemployed, unsure how to pursue girls, and trying to find my place in the adult world.
Relating to Galactus at 42: I am from an unrecognizable previous millennium, hungry all the time, everything hurts and I live with a tiny person who won’t do what I ask.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

You might note conservatives exclusively write these at outlets with large liberal readership. You and I know, say, Douthat is a conservative writing in bad faith, but many Times readers see the masthead and assume he's on the level. Don't print lies in the newspaper
The “Person who wants a political party to lose describes what that political party must do to win” genre of article is just incredibly insulting to everyone’s intelligence yet it will persist until the end of time

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.
I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Chopin, whose music can be counted among the most beautiful expressions of human ambition and emotion, would have given a Chotiner interview so disastrous that it would be a subordinate clause in the first line of his obituary
Which composers would have the worst Chotiner interview?
Obviously Wagner would be a trash fire but no one would expect how terrible the Stravinsky one would be

What percentage of politicians in your country are still relying on this site as a primary means of public communication?
It feels slightly maddening that this isn't being treated as an extremely urgent problem.

This is a "recommended" tweet pushed to a (very much not-Nazi) contact's iPhone lockscreen last week.
Who knows how many millions it was pushed to by Musk's platform, including in this case, in the UK?
It's now been deleted, but only after getting thousands of RTs.
