Most anyone could see that anyone who has the wherewithal to build a data center could build a solar farm next to it. Should be required. But we’re in the Wild West and the cattle barons rule the roost.

Am I right in saying that the war powers act is what enables a president to fight after 60 days? Without enablement president should not be able to proceed. So Congress has it backwards. Prez cannot act without them. No such thing as him vetoing. BUT we have Autocrat v. Fraidy Cats so…..🙀🙀🙀

Talarico is using some of the same tactics that worked during the Vietnam War. Peace and love motherfucker! Naturally, he wouldn't quite put it that way. Macho nastiness is rapidly going way out of style.

Before I left the New York metropolitan area in '72, I can remember regularly driving towards the Lincoln Tunnel on S3 and looking at the Manhattan skyline with an inevitable immense brown haze covering it. This was before the EPA. Let's not go backwards so rich oil folk can make more 💰💰

1972, left the New York metro area ,remember regularly driving towards Manhattan on S3. Skyline immense brown haze covering it. Dumbo Don wants to gut the EPA for a few oily bux. Believe me, y’all wouldn’t like it. BTW nearly croaked from asthma breathing that crap/second hand smoke in 1961.

One of my MFL teams is the Carolina Mediocre they play in the MFL Mid division where they get bad calls from the mid-refs and sorta-kinda still might make the playoffs by most everyone being 8-9. Parity anyone?

Read old New Yorker article about Dead & Co at Sphere from a Bluesky post. As confirmed Deadhead wanted another opinion from someone "on the bus". Reaffirmed several of my misgivings about the whole thing. Have been as close as Kingman AZ to Lost Wages. Never have/never will step foot in Vegas.

We all are supposed to bow to the wishes of the Greedy Old Pervert now. Just like my ancestor who was there when it started in 1775, show up for No Kings on 10/18. Pick your venue, they will literally be all over the place.

Stay On Message Dems! It's what the other guys have always done. Health-care's a godawful mess made much much worse by what has kicked in today. It is a hill that should be stoutly defended. Show everyone The Hill isn't Congressional anymore since worshiping at swole feet of DT overrides all. 😙 🦶

Mentally revisiting "All The Kings Men". Early post-WWII novel by Robert Penn Warren. Told a fictionalized tale of Huey Long the Louisiana Blowhard who bamboozled his way in and out of power a century ago. Broderick Crawford played him in a very salient movie. I would recommend book & movie.

RIP R Redford - “Current political trends are toward power being in the hands of a very few people for the benefit of a very few people, and I see the threat of restrictions on (many) things, of the unraveling of constitutional rights, being...slid through under a lot of patriotic slogans.” 2023

Where's "Public" in PBS if it depends solely on rich folk? The UNC System's job = Educate the public for the public good. Done partially over public airwaves using PBS. It is true that some folk don't like that. People can be manipulated better when less informed or worse, cleverly lied to.

“He’s a war hero, because we work together. He’s a war hero,” President Trump said of the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, for ordering his country’s forces to bombard Iran. “I guess I am too,” Trump added.
