Former news person. Now just observing.
I’d go on to say the non traditional media was even more complicit.

I was in a Lyft a few weeks ago where my driver was crying at like 9 am about his stomach pain. Apparently he used to be a competitive hot wing eater (so was his father or something) and he is paying for it now. Hardest conversation to navigate seriously.

This is more of a ‘trust the evidence of your eyes’ situation rather than a ‘let’s turn to video experts’ one.

Why do we still expect him to do anything for the post that isn’t in his interests? I’m sure he will be all about integrity and journalism once the democrats regain power.

Was about to say that. Man, he really hid under a rock.

I don’t think he is implying that. I believe he’s talking about the benefits of decentralization and likening it to how decentralization helps with information transfer. Parallel processing, etc. The stability of DERs and microgrids should be accounted for when comparing to our centralized grid.

If we get technological leaps in our ability to generate electricity, we can always use the oldest battery: water at an elevation. If we get leaps in batteries, we’re all good.

That’s why you have regional storage, as well as neighborhood/town/county/city, etc. You have appropriate storage, generation and until we can get better fusion plants online, some gas peaker plants. Solar will get better, so will wind and geothermal. Batteries have insane potential right now.
January 14, 2026 at 8:51 PM
Oh, you mean a cultural shift towards using more batteries in our products and in all of the nodes of our interconnected grids.

You read the article you’re commenting on, right?

Pappas is a fekkin wank. Get him outta there and add in his primary opponent Karishma Mansur. She is progressive. He voted to applaud ICE. Get his ass out of New Hampshire.

Also, batteries.
January 14, 2026 at 8:39 PM
So it will bring the price down?
January 14, 2026 at 8:39 PM
That’s true. That’s why batteries for storing power when it’s cheaply generated and selling it when it’s expensive can help those homes. Also, cooperative electric districts where we average out the generation from everyone’s rooftops or windmills can even out the inequity in sun and wind.

People will want to produce their own electricity when they can sell it back to their towns and neighbors.

They should be so thoroughly shriveled into themselves that they never poke their head into public discourse again.

The people with consciences were gone a long time ago. These are the people who think they’ll escape consequences.
January 13, 2026 at 5:32 AM
And what? We should be cowed by threats of violence, again? That’s the answer?
January 13, 2026 at 5:25 AM
I don’t understand what you want us to say to those people. Those things are really not a big deal at all, and they’re only made out to be a big deal by ‘broken windows’ theory blowhards. Why should we help the right, even if we find those kinds of leftists tiring?

Climate change is turning us gay.

Sums it all up so well.

Same thing with hanging up the phone and not saying anything. It always seemed rude to me.
