Isn’t it also because our power companies owe billions of dollars in settlement money for all the fires they’ve started, or is that separate?

My layman’s take on the graph below is that solar + battery is now cheap enough that economically “carbon free power” is now a completely solved problem in California in the summer.

-Rona likes to use tentacles as extra arms.They're simple creatures formed from black substance.They constantly follow and surround Rona.
-Rona is the opposite of Adda and strives for total control in her life and over those she cares about (surprisingly, this Sam).

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

US House Speaker Mike Johnson, a close Trump collaborator, is being called out by US lawmakers for keeping Congress in recess amid the 2025 government shutdown, an apparent move to stall a long-anticipated vote on releasing the Jeffrey #Epstein files. #OpDeathEaters

Speaker Mike Johnson is pictured alongside Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — all of whom have been named or referenced in connections to the Jeffrey Epstein network in public records or reporting.

Donald Trump Jr. is also present, long known to have maintained public ties and online interactions with Andrew Tate, a self-described influencer facing human-trafficking charges.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.
