Thank you for this targeted post

Why am I not surprised that Clevinger is a monster

@ourfakehistory.bsky.social I noticed that my podcast player (@podcastaddict.bsky.social) hasn't loaded episodes of OFH in months. Does anyone know what's going on?

Welp, my day is ruined.

The economy

How does it work

Gotta wash that money somehow

"The Contagion of Liberty: The Politics of Smallpox in the American Revolution" by Andrew Wehrman (2022)

AI Data Centers in the Land of Diminished Local News “At least some of these big companies look for communities that are news deserts to build projects,” a local journalist said, “because it’s easier for them when there’s less public scrutiny.”

"I think it’s a fact that at least some of these big companies look for communities that are news deserts to build projects like these, because it’s easier for them when there’s less public scrutiny."

Exclusive: Data Centers Are Now More Controversial Than Wind Farms Fights over AI-related developments outnumber those over wind farms in the Heatmap Pro database.

"But in terms of megawatts, the sheer amount of data center demand that has been opposed nearly equals that of solar: more than 51 gigawatts."

Monsoon and renewables cool India’s emissions Indias carbon emissions dipped slightly in 2025, marking the first decline during normal economic conditions, driven by a strong monsoon, lower power demand, and rapid renewable expansion.

"For the first time in nearly three decades, emissions in advanced economies grew faster than in emerging ones: rising by 0.5% in the former, while slowing to 0.3% growth in the latter."

Imagine that? The "advanced" countries will lead us to climate catastrophe.

Two decades ago, the vast majority of demand growth was still met by fossil generation.

By 2025, clean power growth has now reached a level that is high enough to meet all additional demand, despite higher absolute demand growth than in previous periods.

Solar's 636 TWh rise was the largest structural single year increase of any electricity source ever.

The only larger rise was coal's 2021 rebound from the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

Solar had the biggest absolute increase of any source in each of the last four years.

NEW | Clean power met ALL the growth in global electricity demand in 2025

Solar generation alone met THREE QUARTERS of the demand rise and grew by 30%.

Fossil generation stagnated (-0.2%).

Global warming of 3.1C would expose 3 billion more people to "unprecedented heat extremes" compared to holding warming to 1.9C

"Had wind and solar not grown since 2000, electricity generation from fossil fuels would have been 30% higher in 2025 and emissions 28% higher, Ember says, adding 4,065Mt of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) annually. "

Clean energy pushes fossil-fuel power into reverse for ‘first time ever’ - Carbon Brief Renewable energy has overtaken coal to become the world's largest source of electricity in 2025, according to thinktank Ember.

"The growth of solar and wind meant that, for the first time since 1919, the share of coal power was lower than that of renewables.

Fossil-fuel generation fell by 0.2% in 2025, the thinktank’s latest annual review says, with wind and solar alone meeting 99% of the growth in electricity demand."

A few questions:

1. What?
2. Why?
3. Huh?
4. No seriously what?

Reacher approaches every problem with one simple question: can murder make this better? And improbably the answer is always yes
