There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Most clean energy seems to have a problem where generation and consumption are distant. SoCal is awash in sun!

In fact, Texas' solar generation has grown so much that it's surpassed California to become America's largest solar-producing state Texas already had a heavy lead in utility-scale solar, but has now passed California even when you include rooftop

The macOS built-in curl, git, pip, python3, perl, ruby, and openssl all read /etc/ssl/cert.pem, which still has the emSign root, but they don't check revocation like Apple's Secure Transport libraries. This is, uh, a problem. git and pip especially. I added a short-term workaround to this page.

Big news day in #nc11: 1) The Trump Super Pac with the unfortunate (and now ironic) name No Going Back Pac, is pulling out of #nc11 (from Punchbowl via CJ Warnke) 2) Sabato's Crystal Ball has moved #nc11 to Lean Democrat

This has been the fundamental mechanism through which political media operates my entire life. The right makes a bunch of noise about a fake scandal, the mainstream media "covers the controversy," & normie voters get the vague impression that Dems are constantly involved in scandal.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

This awful saga is a good glimpse into how MAGA gets propaganda laundered into mainstream discourse by making just enough noise to get news outlets to treat their outrage as a "controversy," which then requires even-handed treatement of both sides' stances: newrepublic.com/article/2168...

my only prediction if the democrats take the house and senate is we will be hearing a lot about the federal deficit

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

If your idea of fun is "torturing" something that fully reacts as if it is being tortured, and you find that enjoyable, I'm just... not sure we're gonna vibe, as people.

"You hired half the Third Reich to staff your office ... If John Lewis were marching today, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club" -- here's a supercut of Jon Ossoff SMASHING Mike Collins during tonight's debate

You ask a question that smells like reverse engineering an existing product and they stop immediately, but somehow this is too hard to figure out.

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

When Trump posted a video of the Obamas as apes the NYT claimed "it was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware" that he posted it

This has been key to a lot of my career success...and also a major indicator for my diagnosis 🙃

Non-ADHD folks are often surprised at just how focused and competent ADHDers can be in crisis situations. From personal experience, I can say that it's because the crisis gives you permission to forget *everything* except for the problem in front of you. And that's freeing.

That's where I've been for a while. We can't even reach questions about the death penalty itself because we fail essential predicates such as "fair and consistent criminal justice system" and "reliable death penalty verdicts that leave no reasonable doubt" and, as shown tonight, "humane execution."
