SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

About a 1/3 of the way through the new Pynchon. Not really sure why everyone is lukewarm on it. I‘m having a great time thus far

I’m not going to defend the glory of PACs, but Ro doesn’t have to because he represents the wealthiest district in America

I don't take a dime from any PAC or lobbyist, including AIPAC.

I am proud to be one of the handful of Democrats standing up against Big Money.

The degree to which the median American does not give a single fuck about any of these people is honestly what gives me hope

it's kind of impressive how much every government and media organization and personality clearly caring a lot about Charlie lead to absolutely no one outside those circles caring at all

Almost every decision made by capital, politicians, and the public over the last decade will go down as being a world historic mistake—but I’m certain that letting this technology out into the wild for public consumption will be at the top of it

We're not there yet, but looking at how other autocratic regimes collapse, the temporal distance between 'Everyone Loves the Leader' and 'No one will admit in public they ever supported that guy' can be *very* short.

Everyone assumes this network is going to turn into Pravda when in reality it’s probably just going to be more Boomer shit that makes the ratings keep dying

Another factor here is juries do not exist in a vacuum and are aware of the government and its lawyers going on tv everyday saying they’re doing bullshit cases

Stand up comedy has been the main cultural vector for our current rot for like twenty years. Abysmal art form and people involved and the way they were elevated to being modern philosophers and prophets over the previous decade was obscene

Ultimately the way to avoid all this was for voters to have made a different choice last year. They didn’t so we’re all stuck on the train until it either hits a mountain or we hit the emergency break next election

This site loves to get bogged down every week in people talking past one another about whether voters should “touch the stove” or Democrats should do everything they can to stop what they can

She’s the exception that proves the rule. Is your median congressperson as good at their job as Nancy Pelosi? No? Then they probably don’t need 20 terms

It sounds insane because it is, but also like if you’re a young conservative person who could potentially be in policy circles who else were you going to be exposed to? National Review is dead, Fox is for your dad and grandpa. You got the Twitter, YouTubers, and podcast freaks

My parents were raised Catholic so I’m not really sure why they were so hellbent on going to Protestant churches when I was a child, but we’d hop around to a new one like every couple months to a year until I was in middle school and was like “stop, you can go, but I’m not” and they just gave up

My parents once took me to an Evangelical church when I was about seven. At one point someone went around the room and asked every child if they’d be willing to die for God. I and two other kids said ”uh no” and we were then held behind after everyone left to be interrogated as to why until like 9pm

Yeah, this was in Dallas in the late 90s, but we had 4 armed men come in with real unloaded guns, and take a few of us aside. Said they were here to kill believers, and asked if we were believers. After we all said "Yes", they unmasked themselves as dads from church.
