Poland is often seen as Europe's coal stronghold. In 2000, coal generated 94% of its electricity. But something remarkable is happening: Coal's share has fallen to 50%. Wind+solar, non-existent 15yrs ago, now generate 1/4 of electricity. More in my newsletter. Sign up here: janrosenow.substack.com

@wafflecut.bsky.social Okay, let's get a rating on this STP from my local in rural Ireland. Flavour & warmth are tremendous. Bonus: the ice cream appears to be having an existentisl crisis.

Kai was an absolute icon in a game that has meant everything to me
Kai was indisputably one of the greatest Magic competitors ever, but he was also one of the greatest sports and community members. Despite his outrageous success, he was always kind, welcoming, and humble, open to talking to pretty much anyone about Magic.

We are deeply saddened at the news of the passing of Magic legend Kai Budde. His achievements in the game and community go beyond what we could say in one post. Our thoughts go out to Kai's friends and family in this moment. Remembering Kai Budde: magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

hey @jaketapper.bsky.social put me on tv so I can tell this eugenicist piece of shit that i don't care for the way he wishes my formula-drinking kids had died
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

If you are so upset, challenge Schumer for leadership now
I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

I love bling in my #mtgcube I am not going to add any of these, they look terrible with the text. If I want a cheap clip art proxy I wont buy $800 CBB
I can't be the only nitpicky graphic designer who just hates the way they handle text on these cards, right? It's so hard to read. It's so unintentional. It's over the guy in green's face? It's rubbing up against the cloud line? Sheesh.

What if Alien (1979) wasn’t just a sci-fi horror film, but a warning about corporate betrayal and working-class struggles?

Pardon my economist technical parlance, but what the fuck does “issuing its statistics on the blockchain” even mean? This data is already publicly available, thanks to this super fancy piece of technology called “an API” These people are complete idiots
Lutnick: "The Department of Commerce is going to start issuing its statistics on the blockchain, because you are the crypto president."

Even right wing hard cases get it. Next democratic government ( if it ever happens) needs to use this as a push for DC statehood. Supreme court will justify the takeover on narrow non state nonsense.
There’s no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC — send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nation’s capital when he wants to.

Bah. Demanding people read half-century-old work as a purity test for genre membership is a fine way to kill the genre dead. I wrote about such nonsense here; whatever.scalzi.com/2020/08/07/o...
Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein should be required for anyone getting into sci-fi

A group of feminist lesbians staged a “Lavender Menace” protest at a women’s conference more than a half-century ago that forever changed the feminist movement.

BLOG: EU officials are far cleverer than Trump. They are playing him, knowing falls for flattery. The recently concluded EU-US trade deal has been touted as a win for Trump, but it is a US own goal. Here is why: www.jandehn.com/post/the-us-...

Can someone smarter than the New York Times explain to me what exactly the $200M fine that Columbia is paying is *for*? Because in my naiveté and with $400M in grant funding canceled, this is indistinguishable from a protection racket. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/n...
