We cannot overstate just how badly this supine Supreme Court has made a hash of it in its rush to give Donald Trump (almost) everything he wants.
A few weeks ago, Justice Barrett finally asked “isn’t this a mess?”
Yes, yes it is.

Costco sues the Trump admin to ensure that it gets its money back if/when SCOTUS declares the tariffs illegal. This is what happens when the court lets the president break the law for a little while.
Thanks, CJ Roberts!

On the way to the dentist, I stopped at the Bath Society of Artists Annual Exhibition - the works are incredible this year - late for my appointment as usual, but had a much-needed culture fix - art addiction is very healthy 😁

Great podcast explaining to Americans how “balcony solar” took off in Europe, with millions in Germany 🇩🇪 alone now harvesting solar power with these panels that you just take home and plug in, and they pay back their price within a few years.
Today on Volts: I've had more requests to cover this than almost any other topic in the pod's history, so now, at long last, balcony solar! We dig into how "plug-in solar" took off in Europe & how it's making its way to the US, starting in Utah. Backyard DIY types rejoice!
What's the deal with balcony solar?
Cora Stryker joins me to explain how "plug-in" solar took Europe by storm and is finally, via Utah (?), making its way to America.

Jazz OTD: Saxophonist Jimmy Greene's third album as leader, "True Life Stories," is one of his best: soulful, engaged, even audacious, like in this mixing of his original composition that gave the album its title with Monk's "Evidence." Recorded December 3, 2005, with a superb quintet. #jazzsky

while making some tea i remembered a substitute Physics teacher we had at school for a bit who'd end every lesson with a general "do you have any questions?" segment and one person asked why when you forget to boil a kettle you can tell by the sound because hot and cold water sound different
