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.

Yes.

It takes a massively user unfriendly experience and makes it as smooth and automatic as can be.

I just pulled art for 3,000 games with a single button click.

Launchbox has gotten so impressive. The fact you can just dump an entire MAME romset into it and it'll automatically find and install and configure the proper version of MAME for compatibility with the set, then download menus and marquees and other art all automatically. Its 'sudo apt-get MAME'

Citizens United has had catastrophic impacts on American democracy.

Unlimited spending is entrenched, but @rfunkfordham.bsky.social offers a suite of reforms that can get concentrated wealth out of our political system.

Line graph titled 'The US Is Now a Flawed, Not Full, Democracy' showing a decline in the US democracy index from 2006 to 2024, with a significant drop marked at the 2010 Citizens United ruling. Data sourced from the Economist Intelligence Unit Democracy Index. The index value decreases from above 8.2 in 2006 to below 8.0 after 2016, entering the flawed democracy category.

I’ve received a report from anonymous active duty personnel in Texas that the Texas National Guard will be moving out nationwide to ICE Protest sites, possibly in civilian gear, and changing their unit patches to hide origins.

Yep same. I grew up playing so much HOMM2, and then eventually got into HOMM3 as well. (There was awhile a friend of mine had 3 but I only had 2 so I kept playing both until I finally got H3 complete)
