so maybe this guy only had one good (read sleazy) idea.

Not bragging, but last november our power bill was $240. This year with the panels on the roof and the rebate it's only $74. In addition, we power an old Nissan Leaf and a flashy MG4.
How much do you spend on petrol per month?
If you can outlay on panels and an EV, do it.

Pirro said the pipe bombing suspect had "not a lot of social media". She should call me, because I have now found his: Twitter, Tumblr, Soundcloud, YouTube channel, songs he made on YouTube, Steam, and about five fanfic and gaming forum accounts.

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.
Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.
This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

If your kids use Roblox, it's time to ween them off it. Not only because of this incident with a hunter who they banned, but also the activity of these groups in seeking victims, is still rising. Kids are absolutely at risk and many parents/guardians don't know of the threats.
Schlep is a developer and YouTuber, who has spent years working to identify groomers and pedophiles who use Roblox as a hunting ground to identify vulnerable children.
Then Roblox banned him

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”
The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

Fitting that our new National Security Strategy is basically cribbed from Camp of the Saints, the super-racist 1970s novel that is all the rage amongst contemporary fascists around the globe, like Steve Bannon.

The new National Security Strategy of the U.S. contains some pretty explicit white nationalism:
“We want to support our allies in preserving the freedom and security of
Europe, while restoring Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity.”

Watching Star Trek. What always strikes me is the amount of internal space in the star ships. In Star Wars they're usually more cramped, which I think is more realistic.
