From one solarmama to another - AW HELL YEAH.
Around half of Zanzibar's population of 2 million people live unconnected from the electricity grid. But one program is training local women as solar power technicians to help light up Tanzania.

All the more reason to find a different browser - sometimes the looking for a gift lets you stumble across something wonderful! AI isn't gonna know that little cul-de-sac of niche items in the sidebar will turn out to be a cherished gift, they'll steer you to Target.
Google is infusing AI into just about every part of online shopping: browsing for products, calling local stores to ask about inventory (!!), and actually purchasing the item for you. This is a warning shot to influencers and news orgs doing buying guides:

Google will let users call stores, browse products, and check out using AI
There have never been more options for things to buy. Google is betting AI is how shoppers will make decisions.

in online corners like these I think people largely recognize how credulous, unprincipled opposition to "wokeness" functioned as lightly papered over defenses of impunity, but it's one of those drums people should probably start beating for normies
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

I happily drove past the local Starbucks to get better coffee from my local roaster today, when I usually make it at home.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.
They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.
They raped them.
Sex implies consent.
The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

Yes, exactly that. I don't want pedophiles to go unpunished, even if they vote for my team. There are folks I don't agree with who I am willing to have in my tent, but a rapist or a child predator is a hard limit.
If the Republican strategy is "if you reveal the President is a pedophile we'll reveal tons of other pedophiles" then... Okay? Go for it? Take them all down? Send them all to jail forever? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Maxwells compliance with Trump also has to be viewed through the lens that Maxwell could reasonably assume that Trump ordered that Jeffrey Epstein be killed while he was in prison.
“The President sent his lawyer to negotiate a settlement with a convicted sex trafficker to provide cushy accommodation in exchange for her silence on his participation in said sex trafficking” is a cold description of the facts of an insane story that the media doesn’t find worthy of scrutiny
