You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

Solar power is taking the lead in U.S. electricity growth! By 2027, expect solar and wind to make up around 21% of our energy mix, while coal and gas drop to about 72%. Texas is shining bright with utility-scale solar, and coal's share is fading fast. The clean energy wave is here! 🌞⚡️

We could talk about whether we got the "good cyberpunk" but what's important I think is a good 50 years of film and comics were trying really, really hard to make you think about this exact sort of image, and to internalize that if you saw this sort of image you should have an intense reaction to it
Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

It’s cold and I’ve been on my belly for hours with my Nikon and wide-angle lens hoping to catch an emperor fly like missile from the sea.
Although I can barely feel my fingers, I couldn’t be happier. My heart is singing and I can’t help but smile.

Someday we as a society will have overcome global warming and mitigated the effects of climate change and have a fully green grid and all the benefits that come with it
And they will look back on the 10s and the 20s and think, good lord, what took them so long?

Same story as the ozone layer! It was a huge issue at the time, but laws got set up to prevent further issues.
You can just do that.

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal
i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

Interesting thing. And kinda obvious if you were on Twitter. There's an increasing number of Polish bots. Usually claiming to be Polish, with Polish location, but posting in English content that was pro-Russian, conservative, communist, antisemitic or hindutva.

I also randomly decided to mark up the RPO releases tab to write out a vague "Era" list categorize the first year's worth as "Mk 1", 2022-2024 as "Mk 2", and v6.0-present as "Mk 3".
I did this because at best RPO deserves to be at v4.0 but in 2021 I decided EVERY MAJOR UPDATE was an entire version #

I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things.
This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.
