For those of you deeply concerned about where we are headed with climate change but maybe don’t know how to get involved in the fight, this is a great podcast to get started with. #climateemergency #fossilfree #climatechange

Today on Volts: opponents of renewable energy have been organizing to block it at the local level, with disturbing success. Now an org called Greenlight America is organizing supporters, tipping them off to important siting/permitting fights & arming them with good information.

Organizing local support for clean energy projects

Meet the organization helping communities say "yes" to clean energy

This is a good scenario for one of your infamous questions: would @ferdturgeson.bsky.social rather be doused in ketchup or have someone Nancy Kerrigan his good leg?

After last week’s Doubs extension reports, this week I plant my flag that we are 3 *barely* missed plays from Golden being the leading WR for the Packers (yards).

One of the big goals this month should be smashing the Golden button while Watson is being reintroduced open.spotify.com/episode/2UUk...

I still think a radicalized billionaire seizing the nerve center of American politics (Twitter) is the biggest story of this century

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

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.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Esmeralda 7 Solar Project Has Been Canceled, BLM Says

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

Personally I appreciate the Eagles effort to become the clubhouse leader of NFC team “uhhhh are they who we thought they were” discourse

The Phillies are a great team. Maybe the best team.

I really appreciate Pope Leo’s position and outspokenness on this.

As always, might be better if he didn’t live in a palace.

I think Ryan is hilarious on tv but how many apologies can one person have to make in one calendar year.

He’s gotta be setting a record at this point.

Ryan Clark apologizes for Kyren Lacy comments: ‘Nothing matters to me more than the truth’

With new evidence being shared by Louisiana State Police, Ryan Clark issued an apology after previously proclaiming Kyren Lacy’s innocence on ESPN. Lacy, a former LSU wide receiver and NFL prospect, was arrested and charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run with death, and reckless operation of a motor vehicle in January. The charges stemmed from Read more... The post Ryan Clark apologizes for Kyren Lacy comments: ‘Nothing matters to me more than the truth’ appeared first on Awful Announcing.

I don’t have strong feelings about who the Jays play next but I can’t deny it would be a cool opportunity for the west coast fans to see postseason baseball.

In either case there will be plenty of Blue Jays blue in the stands.

Ben Nicholson-Smith @bnsbaseball.bsky.social · 1d

We'll see how it plays out, but there's a pretty good chance Blue Jays fans have a real presence at ALCS road games, too. Detroit & Seattle both very close to Canada of course & those cities typically attract strong Jays contingents.

Jennifer Kirton @jenktn.bsky.social · 1d

No you made complete conjecture based on a stat no one cares about, and everyone can see your posts this whole series wherein you completely dismissed the possibility that the Jays are a better team each game. And then you play the “class” card after the anthem got booed back to back. HOF sore loser

Jennifer Kirton @jenktn.bsky.social · 1d

Bringing up *checks notes, blinks hard* sprint speed when he did this to your team? Do the Yankees really want to be represented by a fan group that can’t lose with class?
