It's like....*who* makes these lists, honestly?

This feels like a more organized version of Westboro Baptist word cloud signs of who all is going to hell.

Honestly? At this point, maybe renewables in the U.S. should do guerrilla advertising, like "Fuck clean energy and the climate!! All we're tryin' a do is lower your power bill so you can own the libs!"

I wouldn't be mad. You gotta play the hand you've been dealt.

This is the kind of shit that shows how coordinated the campaign is behind the scenes from the fossil fuel industry.

β€œIt doesn't feel safe”—Many international game developers plan to skip GDC in US β€” Ars Technica Stories of border issues lead to pervasive travel fears across the worldwide industry.

I still don’t know if I have a properly unpacked opinion on my time in the game industry, but I do still keep in touch with friends there, and this just tracks so well with everything else that’s happening. apple.news/A9ARw_TXzSKG...

Just seeing @corewatersports.bsky.social on Bsky makes me really happy.

It will never cease to depress me that there are people that read Trump’s strange, meandering, 6th grade level charlatan sales pitch about some event, and go β€œYeah, *this* is what I voted for!”

Man that is exciting. I'll take any good news we can get these days on renewables in the U.S.

This looks epic. We took a trip to #barcelona early last year, and I was so bummed that there was no wind while I was there.

Did anyone really think that the vote on the Iran war was going to go any way but this? None of those chickenshit RepubliKKKans want to go back to their districts and tell Cletus and Meemaw they voted against the war that's going to bring Jeebus back.

This is Why Cycling is Dangerous in America (Vehicular Cycling)
This is Why Cycling is Dangerous in America (Vehicular Cycling) YouTube video by Not Just Bikes

To say that I "enjoyed" this video is probably incorrect.

It was very well done, and worth the watch. It was also infuriating, and explains so much of why #cycling in the U.S. sucks.

Also, massively fuck John Forester.

My two cents: they *are* beautiful, even now. Being up close to one is such a cool experience.

Listen, cancer research is important, but I think we've gotta start spending more money on "well-adjusted human being" research, because "dipshit sociopath" seems to be a fucking pandemic right now.

β€œFiduciary duty to shareholders” has the legal pomp and circumstance to worm its way into the core value system of every self-important MBA, but goddamn it could’ve just as easily been β€œEthical duty to the greater good of society”.

It's at the point where I get viscerally nauseous when I see some wealthy/famous person decadently savoring their own bullshit-sundae advice that brow beats regular folks for needing to "work a little harder."

Just absolutely fuck you, and your smarmy fucking entitlement.

1. Spend a lot of time on variable names
2. Instead of "catching errors" at the end, explicitly eliminate the bad paths, so the only thing left to do is the good path
3. Do complex operations using very simple-to-debug building blocks.
4. Writing exemplary code is a skill that requires practice

So what I'm hearing from this is that Trump is admitting that he is actually a professional cheater, and is going to cheat like hell.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible β€œAmerica at 250!” achievement

The American public is absolutely teeming with a variety of conspiratorial and cultic pseudo-knowledges, across every political clade and creed, every class and walk of life and education level. And it’s not just one diffused cloud of consspirituality but a marketplace of bespoke and targeted belief

The absolute fucking audacity to treat an AOC moment with a few extra "ums" as a 1990's-esque political headline story, while the literal dipshit-in-his-pants fascist rapist is still in office at this very moment.

I cannot with people that don't fucking understand that we are a full up oligopoly.

If ICE agents are the good guys, why do they have to wear masks and murder people that monitor them?

Turns out that the biggest meta-mistake of modern society was looking back at the barbarism throughout history and smugly thinking we've advanced beyond all that.

Some people can't afford the cost of a Real ID, or a copy of their birth certificate, which is why it's important for those of us who can help to help. Even helping just one person goes a long way.

This is about preparation for any foolishness while we continue to fight for our right to vote.

It's like...in what world does *any* of this sound like it's even on the same continent (literally and figuratively) as a legitimate process? The shake in his voice as he attempts to respond speaks volumes.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

As Americans, we absolutely love confrontations when they are guttural, emotional, situational, lacking in context, borne out of impulsive anger, and have easily digestible winners/losers.

We hate, and go out of our way to avoid confrontation when it requires complexity and reasoned moral courage.
