There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

literally every reason you can think of that they use to not invest in clean energy (not cost effective yet, tech isnt there yet, etc) is 100% true of ai by the way, the difference is that clean energy will mean less money for rich people and ai means more money for rich people

Your only possible response, when confronted with someone saying this, is to wait for them to finish, firmly state “What the actual fuck is wrong with you?” and leave the interview immediately.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

I put a Reagan/Bush sign in my window when I was at BU during the 1980 election. Amazingly, I still had lots of friends of various political persuasions.
Maybe it's not about his politics.
Quote of him Boston 25 News 9/11/2025. Re division on campus “It’s been so long now, you don’t want to tell people that you’re at Republican on campus, you’re outcasted from social groups, people are hostile towards you, we’re marginalized at BU and there’s so many people who feel the way we do.”

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

A reminder, as we are increasingly inundated with posts and reports and articles about Jeffrey Epstein: there is no such thing as “underage women.” The word you are looking for is girls, or children. That’s who Epstein and Maxwell and Trump et al were abusing. Girls. Children.

By any reasonable calibration, the two biggest assholes to afflict themselves on Harvard University in the modern era are Larry Summers and Alan Dershowitz, and of course, Jeffrey Epstein collected them both.

I want people to understand that in my youth, a youth that happened somewhere between the youth of Epstein, Trump, Maxwell, ex-Prince Andrew, et al & that of their victims, the term "jail bait" was framed as a compliment.
