If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

It's so embarrassing to be an American these days: "In a late-night Truth Social post, the president announces that the Danish territory is now an American 'protectorate.'" 🙄

Someone replied to me in Slack with: "lirc we did..." - curious... I hadn't come across "lirc" before, wonder what it means.
A quick google and others wonder the same thing especially as the context is where "iirc" is normally used.

First mating of the 2026 #kakapo breeding season! True to form, it was Pearl and Boss on Whenua Hou, who mated on the night of 28th Dec. They were also the first two to mate in the last two breeding seasons. We're expecting a bumper year, so follow for updates! #conservation #parrots

Mini nuclear reactors are already losing their glow
Solar and wind are cheaper, faster to build, and already scaling globally, while SMRs face high costs, long timelines, and regulatory hurdles. Nuclear’s reliability is a strength, but on pure economics renewables wins.
