You know what’s the sort of thing you’d invest in if you wanted to reduce Iranian power over the global economy in the long run? Renewables, that’s what.

Arizona Corporation Commission repeals renewable energy standard Arizona's oversight committee on utilities voted to repeal the state’s long-running renewable energy rules.

have home solar, no AC use 2 hottest mos of yr, used less energy than previous years & my bill still went up ~20%. Now AZ repeals requirement that 15% of energy comes from renewables. Energy companies are earning more & sticking residents w/costs + less reliable grid & future fossil fueled disaster

Consumers aren't looking for a "fun" place to shop, they want a place that treats its employees well & supports diversity and inclusion over ICE. Oh yeah, that's called COSTCO

As you can see here, right from the very first day he entered our house, Jim found great difficulty in getting settled and making the environment his own.

THREAD.

3 & 1/4 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he'd been living, in rural Cornwall, & decided he wanted to live with us instead.

We decided to call him Jim.

This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st 2022

“Taking full responsibility” for those actions (sexually harassing a staff member to the point that she commits suicide by setting herself on fire) means stepping down.

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“

A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

this will be a public health disaster.

We could end the transmission of HIV this year. That has been true for a decade. That we have not done so is a public policy choice.

An Interview with Sahar Delijani Evergreen Review

“I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven’t lived in blood and bone. That doesn’t mean I want my people bombed, killed, their homes in ruins.” - Sahar Delijani

They don't hate government, these guys hate government for the people. Vought has dedicated his life to working for the US government in DC to "drain the swamp" and "eliminate government" services for those in need.
Government for me, not for thee!

Will be a rude awakening when they learn about the standard US work week, lack of vacation, & high costs for housing, food, healthcare, childcare, and a home full of servants.

yes, we're tied down. We have an old book that we want to make an OA 2nd edition. Just put it on the internet & let people use it - we don't need the $. The publisher will not release the 1st ed to us & will not do an OA 2nd ed. If we go on our own, we cannot use the 1st ed content.
