Internetting since 1987: it's been a long, strange trip.
My daycare was the Clondalkin Laurels Pub (thanks Mum!) & a mag tape server room with endless rows of blinkenlichten (thanks Dad!).

Final EIA-860 is out, and 2025 really did it: 54 GW of new U.S. electric capacity, 96% clean. Solar again carries the offense, and we built more storage in 2025 than the cumulative total through 2023. More and more and more additions... but also record low retirements.

I remember showing this Jonathan Bachman photo of Ieshia Evans in Baton Rouge to someone to show how messed up the police were, and his response was, "What was she rioting about?"
Not, "What was she protesting?" Rioting. In a dress. With a phone. She is a nurse.
This was July, 2016.

“A quiet street full of broken glass”: every a.m. rush hour in the Twin Cities, a new kristallmorgen. Every smashed-window kidnapping, a new kristallabend.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
