I’m often amazed by how ingenious so many Americans have been fighting back against fascism.

It gives me hope.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

It’s nauseating. One of the demands include making Russian the official language of Ukraine.

The US regime is an enemy to its allies and a friend to its enemies.
What a disgrace.

Heat pumps are the most efficiency heating technology ever invented.

That's because they harvest, compress and transport pre-existing heat from the air, the ground or the water.

Compared to a gas boiler heat pumps deliver ~4x more heat for each unit of energy inout.

Solar capacity is expected to triple based on new projects in the pipeline.

Total global solar capacity, including all projects in construction and planned, is expected to reach almost 3 terawatts, with 80% concentrated in just 15 countries.

That means thousands jobs, full control over maintenance.
Ongoing talks are to swap the U.S. engine for a Canadian-made Rolls-Royce one from Montreal, which would break free from U.S. export controls.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

They say tomorrow they’re going to announce some ‘peace plan’ to Ukraine that Russia and US prepared. Oh so that’s why Russia bombed us tonight. I mean ‘cause everybody knows bombing civilians is how you show you ready to stop bombing civilians, right ?

Software utilities, I think, must be treated the same way: regulated (including price) and operated under oversight. Otherwise, they're just a robber-baron monopoly with a stranglehold on the economy.

When half the internet doesn't work because of a failure of a single vendor, that vendor is a utility, in the same way that power, water, and, back in the day, the phone companies, are/were utilities.

Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."

Critics of renewable energy often claim that these technologies are making the world’s electricity grids more vulnerable to power outages.

Hard data suggests otherwise.

Fact check: Do renewables really make electricity grids less reliable?
In Germany, power availability to homes and businesses has increased over the years – even as the share of renewables has climbed.
