"It’s pretty simple:

- AI is driving electricity demand up

- The Trump Administration is restricting new electricity supply from being built

Il gran fritto misto alla piemontese (here in a pic by F. Buffa). Requires at least 8 entrées, a minimum of 16 main ingredients. Brains, veggies, frogs, sausages, cutlets, semolina, etc etc. paired with Frignolino or Barbera classico. Followed by a bonèt, of course. Closed up by a sip of balurda

Wrote it more parsimoniously: it’s PR. Sometimes it uses fakeflatiin, sometimes (often) xenophobia, anti-women wankerism, etc. but it is well crafted PR nonetheless.

The groups that shifted most towards Trump were not the groups hardest hit by inflation. Worldwide, the thing that seems most consistently linked to extremist, anti-institutional politics is not any set of economic conditions but SOCIAL MEDIA AND IMMERSION IN A DIGITAL INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT

Lot of. Because China che pull the same levers has been pulling since 2005. Also: US needs industrial know how from Europe, Aussie, and China. Good luck to us getting it. Well, unless ICE-SAC are repurposed to kidnap scientists, which I would not rule out. 🤣🤦‍♂️

In Italy? Bonuseconomics. Especially to subsidize high income folks to re do their houses. We sank 20% of the gdp equivalent in 3.5 years just for construction related incentives (cfr Riccardo Trezzi, Ecb). Plus stuff like spa bonus, vacation bonus, etc

That’s for PhDs, not for fully trained folks. Now, Australia is small and is restricting immigration, Italy has expanded PhD int. but has no jobs to offer, other large countries lag. My guess? Lots of Chinese and Indian applicants with positions back home. There is no plan b, the world’ll be dumber

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

It sounds like all those scientists at the CDC that Russ Vought was bragging about laying off are now being asked to take their jobs back.

I guess studying and preventing the spread of contagious diseases isn’t “too woke” after all.

Governor Newsom has a bill on his desk to hold utilities accountable, and get them to stop passing along their dark money campaigns to everyday Californians.

Is he going to side with utilities, or side with the public and help lower electricity rates?

California passes bill curbing utilities use of ratepayer money for political spending

State lawmakers last week made California the seventh state to pass a bill limiting investor-owned utilities from using customer money to pay for political and lobbying costs.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Via ‘A Taste of Upstate NY’
1891 was when one of largest anti-Italian lynching occurred in New Orleans. So impactful, it redirected immigration to NY/Ellis Island.
