Cool chart, turns out that “when the sun doesn’t shine” not so important already in California

Cool graphic of California elec supply (and storage charging) over 24-hour periods. Solar supplies majority during daylight but storage then provides a sizeable chunk for first few hours of evening.

every once in a while I feel like I get a glimpse of what social networking would be if the platform incentives were just to give us a glimpse of normal people enjoying themselves...

Exactly. Does anyone remember that a hostage deal was negotiated before the monster took office??Trump told Netanyahu not to do it.This whole thing was to keep bibi as a leader and get tRump in office. Thousands of people died. They are both war criminals for their resorts.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:

I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.

So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

we had this poster growing up!!

C. E. Aubin @ceaubin.bsky.social · 1d

Here is a poster that hung in my house my entire life, and which my mom gave to me when we moved to CT. The photo in it was taken in downtown Portland in 1978, and the man in it was a bar owner at the time - six years later he became the Mayor.

THIS is Portland humor, which is not new!

On one hand, San Francisco would absolutely answer the moment in joyously weird costumes like Portland. On the other hand, I really hope they/we don't have to. And that ICE is abolished.

So Elon Musk using the language “only solution” when joining Marc Benioff in the call to send federal troops into the city of San Francisco. (Musk doesn’t live in SF. Some of his immigrant employees probably do.)

10/10/2025 Elon Musk tweets: “It's the only solution at this point.
Nothing else has or will work.” He is sharing a post that says, “Pretty much 80% of San Francisco wants federal intervention on deporting drug dealers. That's how insane it's been here.
90+ kilos of fentanyl seized in one year by
SFPD. 4,300 OD deaths since 2020…”

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

Diversity is our strength, no matter what racist, bigoted Republicans say.

Real Americans embrace diversity, equity and inclusion.

Real Americans reject Trump and his white nationalist cronies.

Trump is bad, project 2025 is bad and the people who love America, the real patriots reject both.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
