For comparison's sake, the entire National Park Service costs $3 billion - a year.

Green Cement Startup Slashes Staff After Trump Cuts Support Massachusetts-based Sublime Systems has cut two-thirds of its current workforce, casting doubt on a deal to supply Microsoft with low-carbon material.

Afraid that nothing about this story is good.

Policy certainty really is a thing. Can't build anything of value around one person's whims www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The largest payment eliminated by DOGE was $38,468,659 to the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences for transition support services to adulthood for disabled children served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

The missles in this video cost more than that.

As someone who gets DHS emails, still on the list serves, this is incredibly bad reporting.

our boy's on it

and this is with a conservative movement that hates environmentalism lol

imagine what happens China starts beating US exports in Green tech to ROW and the US elite flip out over it

gender turns out to be a harder problem to solve society-wide than decarbonization

strong 2nd this; it feels kind of decadent to be like "PAIN AT DA PUMP????" when there's still bombs flying

It typically takes 7 years to build a 1GW nuclear reactor.

In just the US, we now install the equivalent of that in solar every 8.4 days.

Globally, a nuclear reactor's worth of solar is installed almost every day.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

criticize biden all you want on gaza but he got about a quarter of the GND through a hung legislature

feels telling about American foreign policy punditry that while many decry the aimlessness of Trump’s monstrously wrong Iran war there were far more outraged columns over the harm done to US power and influence and standing and interests and example when Biden rightly withdrew from Afghanistan.

I tremble for my country when I remember that God is just.

we’ve had two truly enormous crises under Trump and the first one was covid which everyone apparently gave him a pass for despite the fact that he made it worse

but this one is completely, obviously, unquestionably his fault and would not have happened without him

musician Gary Numan, born March 8, 1958, aged 68

actor Gary Oldman, born March 21, 1958, aged 67

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone!

The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA

federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL

tell everyone you know

half my timeline is just people smarter than I am posting "dawg" "chat is this good" "woof" and/or horrifying graphs

They wrote the Romance long after, and I must confess I'm really glad I don't see a Cao Cao, a Liu Bei, or a Sun Quan anywhere right now.

Challenge for people who believe Claude *is* conscious and use it anyway: Explain how you’re not a slaver.

we are in the process of finding out if “ah! well. nevertheless,” works for us on a global scale or if it is just a personal thing

it’s not looking great folks

Honestly we're handling it better than they did the Yellow Turbans, or the Taiping, but worse than the Boxers.

Somebody was joking on Twitter that "if you survive an American war economy, you get a Green New Deal from slack industrial capacity."

@vanjackson.bsky.social what do we do?

Turns out, the Haber Bosch process working best with piles of cheap natural gas means that all the fertilizer is now made in like three places

we knew this is what had happened, in our souls we knew it had happened exactly like this even as we joked about it, but it's insane to get confirmation

it'll be hard to get enough people to remember DOGE to build a movement to put them in jail with ICE but we gotta do it

I don't think they have anything we want this time. In a rocketry, no willingness to fight the Soviets.

it's really bad for the world that half of the American political system has convinced itself that the concept of diplomacy is fake and gay
