We need a government with cojones.
“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”
Uruguay’s Renewable Charge: A Small Nation, A Big Lesson For The World
Uruguay built a power grid that runs 99% on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. Here’s how its bold energy overhaul became a global model.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

omg the no bullshit Black American police chief from central casting is actually real
Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE:
"No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested".
"Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

I've covered 'NZ Govt crazy cvid spending' myth lots before (NZ middle of the road by any sensible measure). I can't let the 'increased money supply causes inflation' assumption go though. Total disproven bullshit. Inflation went up everywhere regardless of $ growth (loan growth ➡️ $ growth). [3/n]

What the body cam reveals
Renee Good, while calmly moving her car, seconds before her death: “I’m not mad at you”
ICE agent Jonathan Ross, after shooting and killing her: “F*cking b*tch”
At no time does the video show Ross was struck by the car, or needed to use deadly force
Yet still they lie

It’s legitimately amazing how using a chatbot UI for your LLM has successfully gaslit whole swathes of the media into treating it as a verified source for news about itself.
In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

Democrats should run on the fact that their opposition is literally killing Americans and destroying the country.
It’s not hyperbole. That’s the message they should be blasting out to media every day.

This is an illegal intervention in a country that poses no threat to the United States. Trump is trying to distract from the fact that he tanked our economy and kicked millions off their health care. Congressional Republicans need to rein Trump in before he gets American troops killed.

We all use flawed, problematic platforms and products; it's unavoidable. But X is something else altogether. It's astoundingly evil. Almost none of the usual excuses apply any longer. Get the fuck off of it.

It would take only a handful of Republican votes in the Senate and even fewer in the House to impeach, convict, and remove Trump. Only a handful.

I feel like a big thing people often don't get is that computers are stupid. They are really, truly, stupid. They can only do what you tell them, exactly what you tell them, and they cannot think "well this is an obvious problem, clearly this wasn't intended" the way even a small child often can

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.
