Sadly you are likely right
France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?
Hey virginia! Or anyone who knows folks in Virginia the 4/21 redistricting referendum is defensive and temporary and only in response to other states off-cycle gerrymandering (expressly to control Congress) Early vote till 4/18 then 4/21 vote Yes and remind your friends and family too!
Also, HEY VIRGINIA! (And folk who know folk in VA)
You've got a referendum on the 21st: www.elections.virginia.gov/election-law...
Early voting is on already and ends Saturday.
There's a lot of misinformation out there. A YES vote allows VA to respond to TX & NC.
More links down thread.
Hey, folks - Congress is voting on FISA re-up at 5 today and there's extra bad stuff they need to fix first. Tell them NO on Al surveillance and sweeping up domestic communication if in touch with foreign. Here's 5 calls. Please call and tell your friends.

Yeah, this was not expected and you were far from alone among attendees in your feeling about that.
As is the case in so many conflicts, there can be more than one entity in the wrong.
This can be an illegal and poorly planned war AND the Iranian regime are horrific.
because the "permanent streatery program" was a lie - they made it so costly per square foot most places gave up.
The Council was supposed to be trying to address the problems but I guess they didn't :(
Democratic lawmakers in the House were unsuccessful in their attempt on Thursday to pass a war powers resolution to restrict Trump from continuing to wage war on Iran. Democrats never even got to a vote, as Republicans gaveled out the session before they could introduce the resolution.

the fsck??
What I’d NEVER do as a brain injury rehab doctor:
• Motorcycle
• Tackle football (for my kids)
• Ignore BP
• Skip helmets
• Normalize repeat COVID infections
Because I take care of what happens next.
this is beautiful if expensive.
so there's still some stuff you can do even if the kids are bringing pathogens home
HEPA or CR Box filter fans (there's some great ones that are incredibly quiet by cleanairkits.com)
Azelastine (astepro) has recent trial of 67% decrease in c19 infection.
why not?
I dropped this link a couple times over on NBC's Facebook post that for some reason only just showed on my feed.
It's the first I saw of the story.
It sucks that they wouldn't *both* be allowed larger megaphone and also credit your work.
Fwiw I took that as a poorly phrased 'i don't control when stories are aired'
Anti nuke Ayatollah?
The first job postings for the Williamsport, Md. ICE detention warehouse appeared online.
The “humanitarian response” firm behind them has never held a federal contract.
The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?
2/ I suppose it's almost funny that my first response to his comment was to yell FUCK.
Because... well, duh. Only certain people would have been cleared to look at such documents.
Holy hell.
I commented to a friend that I still didn't get why the the same FBI guys who are our Iran counter intel were working the Mar a Lago case.
And he's like "well there's a good reason but you won't like it..."
And D'OH. Because that's the sort of documents that might have been in the bathroom.

Probably a good time for Democrats to point out Trump has never once pumped his own gas in his whole life. He has almost no idea how much gas costs or how it impacts normal people's budgets.
hooboy
so that was a US bomb and looking like aI targeting off old intel (the school had been military use in the past, and part of the base that it is now 100 yards outside)
And i'm pretty sure we've known that for days.
Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.
Whose lapel is this?
This is why I wish every one of these folks would pick up Sen. Paul Wellstone’s “Conscience of a Liberal.” He talks about making that transition. Learning that there are different skills necessary.
They dropped a blind guy off on the side of the road without telling his family, and he ended up dead.
The Border Patrol agents should be charged with manslaughter.
