A prolonged fossil fuel crunch just might, at this moment, be *the* exogenous shock necessary for a rapid global transition to clean energy adoption, but also it's going to be a brutally miserable experience for the world's poorest.
Happy Earth Day! 🌎 🌍 🌏
To mark this special day, we’re tuning in to Sen, the world’s first continuous 4K video livestream from space.
Sen’s cameras are hosted on our Columbus module of the ISS, with data delivered via the Airbus platform.
Watch Earth from above, just like an astronaut

Matt Damon playing a 14th century French knight that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mullet. Beard. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and cigarette smoke.
Matt Damon while playing Odysseus who also looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Long, skinny beard. Smells like horseshit, pine tar, and perhaps Mediterranean herbs.
Matt Damon playing a 19th century cowboy that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mustache. Shaggy hair. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and definitely chewing tobacco.
Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.
yiiiikes
The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.
Get excited.

Statement from The Atlantic:
Jake creating core memories for young fans at the ballpark. 🥹
Shohei Ohtani is a once-in-a-century player, so Momoyo Kelley wanted to wait for her opportunity for an autograph.
The 100-year-old Salt Lake City resident briefly met Ohtani before tonight's Dodgers-Rockies game saying it was “like a dream."
Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

US private credit firm backs loans for World Cup ticket flipping Eagle Point Credit Management to capitalise on high prices and demand of football fans to attend the tournament
A racket—Eagle Point Credit Management—

built on a racket—FIFA World Cup 2026, which already used dynamic pricing for original ticket sales.
Truly the beautiful game.

The nonprofit that runs the successful, Pulitzer-winning Baltimore Banner is going to take over the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Of all the possible outcomes here, this is likely the best we could have hoped for.

IT'S A FAUSTIAN BARGAIN, CUBS
Didn’t Fox already get sued for a billion dollars for this lie? Or did we dream that?

Preemptively announcing you are going to pardon your staff isn’t just rewarding criminals for their crimes—it’s encouraging them to commit new ones.

We see you trying to help JD pretend he doesn’t have to wear this war when he runs for president. Nope.

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today:
Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.
