Genuinely abundant, cheap, accessible energy has vastly more liberatory potential than AI, for vastly more people -- especially more poor people. Which, I guess, is your answer.

Have you seen any reporting on how solar power generation in the USA is 5 times higher than it was in 2020 in mainstream outlets? If not, why do you think this is not being widely covered the same way other large technological changes are?

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya was a content creator who spent the pandemic “calling for” other people to do things. Now, he’s in power and as pathogens spread out of control, all he can say is he’s doing his “best.” I believe him. This is his best. My latest.

Several studies have since shown definitely that children and schools contribute signficantly to transmission. In Sweden (with no formal lockdown), parents and teachers of pupils at school had higher infection rates. Children live with and are taught by adults. Many are vulnerable adults. 4/12

Elizabeth Warren: "This one is to me not even open or arguable. How would the US government keep money that the Supreme Court said it did not legally collect from American businesses, that it did not legally take away from American families that ultimately paid this?"

So make a plan to vote: mikiesherrill.com/vote As governor, @mikiesherrill.bsky.social will deliver for you. If you haven’t voted yet, today is the last day of early voting in New Jersey. And if you can’t vote early, make a plan to do it on Election Day on November 4th.

In the midst of a government shutdown, and in the face of fundamental challenges to the rule of law and to democratic accountability, the House of Representatives--the people's house, the heart of our democratic republic--hasn't cast a vote since Sep. 19. An extraordinary failure of responsibility.

A criminal who incited a violent insurrection and brags about running and winning in 2028 and is building a $250 million White House ballroom is a man who doesn't plan on leaving. Trump is going to stay in office until he dies. Should be clear to everyone but we normalized it.

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents? Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.

Jeremy Glover@jgrantglover.bsky.social

Now that summer is over, Chicago is still on track to have fewer homicides in 2025 than almost any other year since 2001. This is especially impressive considering that the five most violent years of the 21st century have all been in the past decade.

This is a huge win for free speech and a massive credit to the millions of people who expressed their outrage and sent a clear signal with their voices and their wallets. And it's a credit to Bob Iger and Disney as well that in the end they did the right thing. ca.news.yahoo.com/jimmy-kimmel...

Over the last few weeks. It was Loomer and Fuentes that were attacking Kirk. Fuentes, leader of Groyper, actually had a Groyper War 1 and a Groyper War 2 with Charlie Kirk. Because this world is very, very stupid.

Today's ISM survey commentary is fun: "Tariffs continue to wreak havoc" "There is absolutely no activity in the transportation equipment industry. This is 100 percent attributable to current tariff policy. "We are also in stagflation: Prices are up due to material tariffs, but volume is way off.”

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

The president of the United States is trying to steal congressional seats so I don’t give a fuck about the Cracker Barrel logo discussion. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Yes, I think there should be far more discussion about whether the reason for the White House going into full Cabinet level battle mode over Maxwell is that she is blackmailing Trump, and that Trump may now be officially compromised. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
