Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

to make the cyberpunk dystopia look more like Blade Runner too
This is what many cities in the U.S. looked like before the EPA.
Why the heck would anyone celebrate deregulating it?

Gdy podczas wojny w Korei USA zagroziły użyciem bomby wodorowej, warszawska ulica zareagowała rymowanką "Truman, Truman, rzuć ta bania, bo jest nie do wytrzymania". Tak mi się jakoś przypomniało w kontekście pogróżek ekscelencji ambasadora, że jak opodatkujemy Big Techy to zrobią nam Nie Wiadomo Co.

It’s striking how similar Trump and Elon Musk actually are. Both got money from dad & started on 3rd base, both were more ruthless than intelligent, & both had fake and manufactured reputations, one thru a TV show & the other thru spin that he was “the real Tony Stark“ when he never built anything.

Some good news for a change
Apparently Tesla isn't selling any cars which also means it's not selling carbon credits. It made 2.7 billion in carbon credits last year. Carbon credits is largely what has kept the company afloat
Tesla's Sales Are Falling So Much That the Cash It Rakes in for Carbon Credits Is Under Threat
An important source of carbon credit revenue could quickly dry up for Tesla. And the pressure is on, experts warn.

Dobre wiadomości cyrylicą: Starshe Eddy rozwiewa nadzieje kolegów liczących na to, że bez "sputnikowych razwieddannych" Ukraińcy nie mogą używać HIMARSów i ATACMSów. Otóż można nimi kierować na podstawie danych z drona i tak Ukraińcy od dawna już robią "samyje opasnyje udary" (z zaskoczenia).

Time for another lecture to Europeans about the value of free speech in a democracy.
Exclusive: Judges face rise in threats as Musk blasts them over rulings
U.S. Marshals have warned federal judges of unusually high threat levels as tech billionaire Elon Musk and other Trump administration allies ramp up efforts to discredit judges who stand in the way of White House efforts to slash federal jobs and programs, said several judges with knowledge of the warnings.

Dziś staje się jasne, kto w Polsce chce realizować rosyjskie interesy. Z głupoty czy z wyrachowania - bez znaczenia. Dlatego stawka tych wyborów jest wysoka jak nigdy dotąd. I niech nikt już nie udaje, że tego nie widzi. Niepodległa Polska w silnej Europie albo Rosja. Twój wybór.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
