@agelston.bsky.social how hard would it be to get an API (or equivalent) to display the current ComEd zonal LMP on a stock ticker/simple LED board of sorts?

100/10 would buy if that was available …

Even like clock radio level of sophistication on the hardware would absolutely get the job done

I'm running for U.S. Senate.

Because in the state that built the American Dream, it shouldn't be this hard to get by.

These videos remind me of my 7-month-old. Whatever he sees and can reach, he tries to engulf in his mouth (with widely varying degrees of success, depending on the size of the object)
Lord grant me, for just one day, the zero fuck level of a capybara in danger of becoming pelican brunch.

This really needs to be a bigger story

Just like the “supply chain” right after Covid started to get more under control …

Give companies an inch (of real production cost pressure), and they take a mile (on retail pricing)

And retail prices are a ratchet.

They will NOT come back down
The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens.

The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago.

Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Please don't fall for this.

Elon Musk is currently bankrolling the entire Republican Party at a level no political party in US history has ever experienced. The idea that he's not going to have exactly the level of control over policy that he wants is frankly absurd and patronizing. This is optics.
Trump Tells Inner Circle That Musk Will Leave Soon
The president is pleased with Elon Musk, but the decision comes as the tech mogul increasingly looks like a political liability.

Seeing so, so many Amazon ads over on the bad place

If the Bezos alignment with MAGA wasn’t clear before (and it should have been), here’s some solid evidence yet again

Avoid Amazon when possible (recognizing many have no other option for cost, speed, or delivery, such as folks who are homebound)

Update — Sec’y Brainworm gutted the LIHEAP office in HHS.

This will cost lives.

Many of them.

Nationwide.
Keep an eye on the Dork Brigade coming for LIHEAP, a little known but crucially important federal utility bill assistance program implemented by states to keep people from freezing to death, suffering heat stroke, having their refrigerated meds (like insulin) spoil, etc.

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it.

Gotta love the cat featuring heavily in @katmabu.bsky.social ‘s campaign!

To anyone unfamiliar with her, there’s a whole lot more good things she has to offer — just listen to her speak and you will get it! Then donate if you can, too
If @katmabu.bsky.social 's entire campaign is just sending me pics of her cat I'm more on board than I've ever been for a campaign!

How to protect birds:
🐧 put something on glass of windows
🐤 lights out
🐦 native plants
🐧 eschew insecticides
🐤 keep cats indoors
We Can Stop Glass Windows From Killing Birds
Each year, countless birds die after colliding with buildings. But simple solutions exist, from tiny dots on glass to turning out the lights.

As Bluesky has grown, I've seen a lot of backsliding on alt text. Please try to be considerate to others and include alt text with all of your images. It helps everyone. Indeed, in the "accessibility" setting in Bluesky you can set it to make sure you add alt text, which is a useful thing to do.
