Those tree hugging hippies in Hungary now lead the world in the share of electricity generated from solar with almost 25% of their electricity coming from solar in 2024.
A remarkable leap from just 7% five years ago.

Just seconds ago, I was in the kitchen, and Alexa announced, "Sure, I can play that video!" I had not asked it to play anything. Surprise! It was a video of Pete Davidson telling me to pay for Alexa Plus.
Second time this has happened—such underhanded marketing. #Alex is currently in the trash.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

A reminder that when Christian Nationalists in the Republican Party lecture you about the importance of "religious freedom," they are not talking about YOUR religion or YOUR freedom. They are talking about THEIR freedom to impose THEIR religion on you.
