I've been given bad advice about this. Here's the straight poop.

Picture of a coyote at night
Text:
During the spring and early summer months, coyote sightings can increase due to "pup-rearing". This season is common when newborn pups come out to play for the first time. Typically, coyotes are nocturnal but it is not uncommon to see them during the day. Just seeing one is NOT a reason to call 911. Below are reasons you should call 911:

* Coyotes in hot air balloons dropping anvils
* Coyotes with giant magnets
* Coyote pulling a giant catapult
* Coyote with rocket shoes
* Coyote with anything marked "TNT"
* Coyote setting out bags that say "free bird seed!"

Please call 911 immediately if you see any of the above behavior.

Cool 😎 stuff from Texas

The historically volatile Texas grid was entirely stable this summer, despite extreme temperatures. Grid operators never once had to ask Texans to conserve energy or shut off their air conditioners.

Why? Solar & batteries. Want a stable grid? Try solar & batteries.

Solar and batteries had a record-setting, grid-stabilizing summer in…

Solar has set 17 power generation records in Texas so far this year, shoring up the grid alongside batteries as some gas plant developers step back.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Arts degrees are only “worthless” because tech cunts revalued the highly desirable product of freelance artists at close to zero, cos it made running the digital supply pipes look cheaper on the spreadsheets. Pay properly for the arts, and see how worthless artists are.
