This is my giant thread of things Trump has done that, if a Dem did them, the whole of DC would drop everything, launch inquiries, make it a household name (whatever)-gate, centrists would fold and scold, Dems would accept the bad faith narrative, etc. etc.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.
Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

For all the crap of 2025, renewables became the world’s primary source of energy. That’s good.

Translation: monopoly utilities and big tech companies can now work out mutually beneficial deals in private and then rush them through without any say from the captive ratepaying public.

This has me thinking. What state is known for its art and artists, half covered in water, and in desperate need of more diverse generation?

Korea is flexing here with this highly artistic floating solar farm, newly commissioned days ago.

47.2 MW of capacity located near the 50 MW Imha hydroelectric dam. The modules are arranged into the shape of Korea’s flag and the Mugunghwa, Korea’s national flower.

Creative destruction is part of progress. We no longer have telephone operators, but calls are now cheaper and faster.

This is why your utility isn’t adopting the cheapest form of energy. They prioritize shareholders over you, captive ratepayers.

This is fascinating. And a rebuttal to anyone who says that they just want a level playing field, devoid of subsidies in the energy industry. Start with the MASSIVE cross-subsidies from our healthcare system to the fossil industry - especially coal. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40691837/

I swear the “show less like this” command is flawed to the point of inversion. I see cats and weird fantasy art every time I get on here. And sorry, I don’t want to.

On a more positive note, it’s a gotdamn beautiful day in New Orleans.

Find exercises you actually enjoy and make them a habit. Easier said than done - take your time and try different things til you find what works for you. Then once it’s habitual, you don’t have to motivate yourself anymore. It’s just automatic
