big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts
No more PJM data centers unless they can be reliably served: market monitor
The PJM Interconnection’s market monitor urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rule that large data centers can only come online if the grid operator can still meet reliability metrics.

Farm workers are bent over harvesting bell peppers in Kern County CA. They work rushing to keep up with the pace the tractor sets. When you eat a salad or a fajita remember the hands that harvest this vegetable. #WeFeedYou

Phew....this was so so freaking good of a video! One thing is bugging me though. I'm not able to figure out the classical soundtrack being played at 1:32:00-1:34:00 and it's playing over and over in my head. Could anyone point out which classical symphony it is? #MusicSky

As EPBC reforms get framed as political tussles & deal-making, don't forget ongoing colonialism, what's at stake on Indigenous lands, and their warnings that bad amendments & inadequate environmental laws "risk irreversible damage to country, culture and communities"

You can even put an exact date on the day when Brussels finally gave up on its decade-long dream of seeking to be the predominant global tech regulator that would rein in American tech titans like Google and Apple.
It came last Wednesday — Nov. 19.

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

“Ale" works in the carrot harvest in CA. She earns $3.05 for every box of carrots she packs. One box has 24 bunches of 7 carrots each. To earn $100 she has to pack 34 boxes or 816 bunches which represents over 5000 carrots picked in a day. #WeFeedYou

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

It is a matter of supreme irony to me that the furthest right-wing of the furthest right-wing people are fascist, misogynist, racist and the Queen who rules over them is Candace Owens. I don't think this irony will ever get old for me. She is such a fascinating phenomenon!

I knew the choice of an American to be Pope was going to be consequential in so many ways. I admire the way this Pope is applying his soft power. This country has needed a Christian reckoning for a long time now. MAGA Christianity is only going to get more isolated going forward.
The U.S. bishops defended migrant families. Tom Homan snapped. Nan Hayworth called Pope Leo a “tool of our enemies.” Tim Burchett accused the church of getting rich off of sex trafficking.
Matt Walsh, Lara Logan, and the rest joined in. This is what MAGA anti-Catholicism looks like.

“Pope Leo Is a Tool of Our Enemies”: Homan Leads MAGA Attacks as Hayworth, Others Pile On
It’s the latest MAGA attack on Pope Leo’s pro-immigrant stance. Disgraced border chief Tom Homan — caught taking a $50,000 bribe in a Cava takeout bag — led the charge against Leo and the bishops.
