Talking about the "true" intent of the Framers, calling only for restoration, is support for the white Xtian nationalists trying to remake the country. Just as the radical Republicans after the war, we have to remake the system that brought us here. youtu.be/zJ49gA2cqS0?...

Realized what the general tone of political posts here reminds me of: the demonstrations in Israel against the war. It looked impressive from here sometimes maybe, but they were only about the hostages & the safety of IDF soldiers. So now that's all done. Genocide? Que? Basically part of the problem

I imagine more people in San Francisco will be looking at this kind of small solar+storage system. Even if you can't feed it back into the grid, some config like this could serve as a backup for refrigerators, routers, &c. Not that we have balconies, which we'll regret when it's 110°. But I digress.

And if that number lands in your gut the way it landed in mine, good. It should.

This is payback to Colorado for not pardoning one of Trump's election fiddlers. Though I'm sure Vought had it on his wishlist. But when you realize how unconnected this is to anything defenders are talking about, it's so depressing. Words have no meaning. The agency leadership goes along w it.
The Trump administration says it will dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research, a cornerstone for American climate and weather science. I went on NPR today to explain what this could mean for climate research.

What I wish is that places like San Francisco would realize that they just haven't been hit by climate change YET. Recognize the gift & start preparing. Treat extreme weather like earthquakes.

It’s very simple. Genuinely very simple. Until Section 230, it was the case that any website that allowed a user to publish any content of any kind could be sued if they said *anything* libelous or bad. That includes web hosts, blogging platforms, social media etc.
