I've been saying this for years now. Walmart and all such chain stores should have to build solar canopies at their own expense, which become municipal property upon their completion.

South Korea has mandated solar canopies for large parking lots. It's a no-brainer. We could offer firms incentives to do it here, or they could just friggin' do it! (H/t @assaadrazzouk.bsky.social)

Here's a little sumptin' I put together a while back...
What if Walmart turned its parking lots into solar farms?
We asked experts to help crunch the numbers.

Nope. If your work of fiction is being used to fund anti-civil-rights legislation, you get to get over the fact that you like it, and find something else to like. You want your opinions to be respected, you better start acting respectable.

Sorry, that might be unclear. Let me restate: why can't you agree (with us) to disagree (with anyone who disagrees with human rights)?

"Torment Nexus" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict

Post Brianna Wu O Subscribe Trans sisters. I'm pretty sure I was wrong. I an somy. I genuinely thought that as a trans woman, if ceded some points with the gender critical crowd we could have a healthier conversation and arrive at better public policy. The problem is, they are getting crazier and more extreme. If you admit "trans women don't belong in women's sports" they agree, but call you a man the whole time. If you admit, "I understand I am a biological man, but this is how I want to live my life and talking about me like this is degrading" they scream about free speech. If you admit that hurtful language is part of free speech but you don't have to associate with people that degrade you, they act like the victim and call you a man and then say you should be thrown in an insane asylum. It's like this on everything. They are incapable of looking for a middle ground on bathrooms. They want maximalist policies on everything. They'd throw a fully transitioned, fully passing trans woman in male prison genpop and laugh as she got aids from being raped. I want a middle ground on so many of these polices. BUT THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IS THEY DO NOT. They enjoy degrading us, it's fun for them. So, sisters. I genuinely don't know what to do. I think many of our most extreme ideas are bad. But theirs are worse. So if I have to pick, I choose us. I wish there were a political vehicle for compromise and medical safeguarding. But that just simply does not exist.

"It was not an accident."

Retired U.S. Colonel Steve Gabavics investigated the killing of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh and says the final report was watered down by the Biden administration to avoid blaming an Israeli soldier for intentionally killing her.

Yeah, they're just trying to create divisiveness by refusing to vote for someone who won't guarantee their human rights. It's not the Democrat candidates creating divisiveness by writing off whole swaths of people to try to appeal to Republicans. Pointing it out is the real divisiveness.

It's a shame that Democrats love losing so much... otherwise they'd see a vast plethora of people who typically don't vote and try running a candidate that would draw those people out.

I despise the fact that every history teacher in the US is apparently duty-bound to spread the "we had to nuke them because otherwise they would've fought until we literally killed every last Japanese person!" lie. Like... you can just say "the U.S. was morally wrong."

"Reactionaries"... that's it. I'm going back to linquistic prescriptivism. Allowing people to understand that language is a social construct has clearly already devolved into a linguistic nihilism where words don't mean anything anymore.

Maybe we can try descriptivism again in 50 years.

Nobody is saying that you "must" divorce your husband, we're just saying that - if you don't - you're a nazi. Since you're already a Republican, it shouldn't be much of a change.
She did say she respects her husband's right to free speech, "even when I disagree with it. "To suggest that I must divorce my husband over political or social views is not only unreasonable, it's insulting to the many couples who hold different perspectives yet remain committed to each other," she wrote

No, we'd actually prefer if you started stating facts. Especially facts that are true in a robust sense, rather than your current practice of occassionally saying things that are technically true, but where the whole truth paints a picture the exact opposite of what you're trying to portray.
