Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

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

Esmeralda 7 Solar Project Has Been Canceled, BLM Says

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

There's fucking yaoi art on a train by my house I'm fucking losing my mind, this rules so much

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.
Artist seems to be "Akira BPD"

if “speaker of the house refuses to swear in member of the opposition party” isn’t a constitutional crisis, i don’t know what is. we don’t have a functioning government if duly elected representatives are not allowed to take their seats.

I've already shared the article but PLEASE if you need a reason to play FMW please read this article.

It translates a deep love and appreciation for the game into such a heartfelt and coherent introduction, and it would be such a shame if it didn't reach as many people as possible.

i like Platner too but just a quick reminder that Janet Mills is the governor who yelled "I'll see you in court" at Trump to his face over the trans sports executive order, so if you wanna trash her please be sure you're sending the signals you intended to send.

And if Johnson is claiming that the shutdown is the only reason for this I will point out she was elected an entire week prior to this shutdown. And regardless he has a duty to see all Americans represented in our government which he has repeatedly delayed

We are a full week into October and Senator Johnson still refuses to seat an elected US representative who was elected on September 23

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

reminder the two off switches in google admin settings that say they can be used to turn off gemini actually don't do what we want them to.

only way to turn it off it is to directly contact support for them to expose a secret third toggle that really turns it off. (also: it cannot help you do it 🤖)

me asking google gemini: turn off Google's AI assistant forever and don't ever turn it on again under any circumstances

it replies: I can't help with that. Do you need help with anything else?

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”
