I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them Utilities are convincing lawmakers around the U.S. to delay bills that would allow people to buy solar panels, plug them into an outlet and begin generating electricity.

A Warmer Climate Means Bigger Hail - Inside Climate News New attribution research shows how extra heat in the atmosphere can turn thunderstorms into factories for dangerous, softball-size hail.

#ResistanceEarth

Hail is one of the most destructive and costly weather events in the U.S., causing up to $14 billion in damage annually to property, vehicles and crops. Climate change is making hail bigger and hailstorms more damaging across wider areas.

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.

This is learned today:

Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Does The New York Times Want to Eradicate Trans People? β€” Assigned An analysis of its coverage reveals a pattern of misrepresentations, deceptions, distortions, the exclusion of trans voices, and the endorsement of contempt.

The New York Times coverage of trans issues has repeatedly resulted in experts and others complaining that their words were twisted and misrepresented... but only those quoted from on trans supportive side have that complaint.

Coincidence or eliminationism? @billiejsweeney.bsky.social dives in.

Nuclear experts undercut White House claims about Iran reactor at heart of case for war The Trump administration sent negotiators without nuclear expertise to lead talks on Iran’s enrichment program. Now, its public case for war centers on a facility that experts say cannot do what offic...

This story suggests that Witkoff and Kushner bungled the negotiations with Iran because they don't understand nuclear technology

So weird - if Mexico wins and scores 6+, they knock out Italy.

But if Mexico wins and somehow only scores 5 runs or less, Mexico and Italy advance, and US goes home.

Oh yeah, not surprised at the fans of Mexico during the WBC, especially here in H-Town. They definitely know how to party. I can definitely speak from experience.

One minute you're chillin', and the next minute, you're drunk as hell and trying to sing Vicente Fernandez.

Pop cultural references in class start off as a way of making the material more understandable and the instructor more relatable, and incredibly quickly turn into a way of emphasizing how old and out of touch the instructor is.

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again β€” Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them β€” But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
