the first article from NYT in april...and then the followup today. now, did renewable energy end up having absolutely anything to do with the blackout? no, no it did not. did the NYT article from today mention renewables at all or correct themselves? no, no they did not.

this politico article going around contains one of the most annoying "lessons" of 2024. there is, in fact, a huge democracy where the incumbent party won again after 6 years of extremely popular left wing policies. mexico. but @seancasten.bsky.social fails to see it.

generative AI or a man who loves his cigarettes?
an over the top review of marlboro reds by Nicholas Stensland that says: Sometimes I wake up in the morning and reflect upon my existence. For I have created a Schrödinger cat within my very life. Many times over in my 56.2 years on this planet have I chosen the smooth, succulent, and rich taste of the Marlboro, like a mere mortal to a Greek Goddess. I have chosen it over an eon of women, attendance to my father’s funeral, and many more. Despite my state of being, I would not look back. If there is one entity on this rock floating in the desolate scape of void that is the heavens of which has stood with me through anything, it is the pack of cigarettes firmly positioned within my coat pocket. I could lose any earthly possessions, yet they would be in thy pocket. The Red never argues with you about dinner, it never tells you to do things, it will never leave you. For the Marlboro is not like any man, it is above us. No cigarette can feel greed. It is truly the best of us, better than any man.
