Esmeralda 7 was all set to receive its final approvals in July and even got a rare procedural win from the Trump admin in its early days

Then came Trump’s permitting freeze, which was a condition for passing his tax megabill

Now 6.2 gigawatts of new solar — unfathomable to me — may be no longer

Just saw a TikTok where a young person "discovered" pantyhose!

She says they are soft & make your legs look nice & keep your thighs from rubbing together & she can see why they were popular in the 1900s.

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

Every day RFK Jr wakes up and associates a new thing with autism. Tomorrow it will be tonsilectomies and the day after that it will be if your mom ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight

This also indicates the essential dishonesty of saying “it’s just a tool.” A hammer is a tool. Nobody writes about the “inevitability” of hammers. Nobody has ever studied the harmful effects of hammers on learning and concluded that teachers must all hit their students with hammers “responsibly.”
