Queer middle-aged guy. I work on radars. Opinions are my own but I'm trying to make them everyone else's problem also. In my spare time I fence and make music.

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

Politico Playbook this morning: “Can this really be happening? Again?” Presented by UnitedHealth Group. Imagine having this little self awareness. I’m speechless.

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

The element? The part that is actually holding up the program with little to no progress in quite some time

Jared Isaacman's recent shakeup of the Artemis program hopes to put the US on a better path back to the Moon, but it neglects a critical element.

I want to emphasize the serious problem with space advocacy turning into a quasi-religion. In the last two days, I've seen zealotry drive arguments and nothing technical or practical but instead fantastical. Far too many people think science fiction is real.

Notice the framing of sex trafficking victims as “consensual sex workers” and the simultaneous framing of consensual sex workers as “sex trafficking victims”

That these contacts aren't immediately worth zero is a damning indictment. not on the losers buying yes shares, but rather Polymarket itself. This shows there is absolutely no faith in the company to clear contracts. The yes bet is against the platform itself functioning as a credible exchange

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social

On Polymarket you can now bet on how many people in a different market on Polymarket think Jesus Christ will return in this calendar year. 29% of bets say that more than 5% of bets in the Jesus Christ return market will be a "yes" 9 days from now. Anyway everyone involved in this needs jailtime.

ICE just executed a guy, unloaded an entire clip into him while he was being held down by at least 5 agents. I have no words

Whether you’re Pliny the Younger scratching his head about punishing Christians, government goons trying to intimidate midwesterners in winter, or public health authorities trying to fight infectious disease, you’re forced to contend with a nearly infinite capacity for human stubbornness

Walz needs to deploy the national guard and expel ICE at the end of a rifle if needed, there's simply no other solution here

Creepy racist scumbag JD Vance claims the MAGA regime needs to takeover Greenland because the country of Denmark doesn’t take care of Greenland. They actually have Universal Healthcare, so the trashy idiotic asshole already lost his bullshit propaganda argument.
