Just tell these guys if they want to power this bullshit they have to use 100% renewable energy. And if that's not feasible they should keep Engineering until it is. Should be no problem for the geniuses we know them to be

1. The paranoid style of American politics trends towards conspiracy theory
2. Belief in one conspiracy predicts belief in others
3. All conspiracy theories trend towards antisemitism
4. You can't build high trust policy on low trust politics.
The thing I think about whenever Palentir comes up is that I once played Werewolf sitting next to a guy that worked at Palentir and he spent the entire time trying to convince me that the company wasn’t evil while simultaneously picking off every villager in the game.

And hey, nobody ever forget: this was because her late husband’s sons were greedy bastards and stole both cars, reported her to ICE, re-routed the mail so she wouldn’t see anything about her Immigration case & are in the process of stealing the estate, all because their dad married an old flame.
I think before you build an Arc de Triomphe you should be able to identify at least un (1) triomphe
Clusters of bright purple flowers on hyacinths with bright green leaves in neat flowerbeds surrounded by a tidy lawn, white hyacinth flower beds, clipped box hedges and a statue of a muscular man bending over an urn in the background

Swathes of white bell-shaped hyacinth flowers in the foreground with extensive lawns and grounds in the background and a huge, impressive redbrick mansion under a blue sky
Just a hyacinth appreciation post 🪻

The United State: A Brief History
Oh it turns out that vanquishing the college student who uses they/them in their email signature is not bringing you the fulfillment that you hoped for? You are still working in your crappy and unfulfilling job, paying a mortgage you now can't afford, and dealing with your annoying kids... I see.
And don’t forget to keep a finger between the pages at the last decision, in case it doesn’t work out….

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system
A very tiny bright orange baby salamander. It is extraordinarily cute, lying happily on moss.
We saw our first little red eft of the year today. If you see one please do not pick it up! Their skin is highly porous and the salt, oils, lotion, sunblock, bug spray, etc. from your hands can make them sick. Use a leaf to move them if they must be relocated for their safety. ❤️

“In 2025, 31 people died in the custody of ICE. In 2026, the count has already reached fifteen—and it is only April. Nearly every one of those deaths, as with nearly every death in ICE custody, would have been prevented with adequate medical care and humane treatment.”

Heat pump orders up 2x in a month. Solar panel inquiries up 250%. EV leases up 85%.
The Iran crisis has made energy security feel personal.
