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?
Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

You are correct. A segment producer for the local news would ask a mutual friend to give “person on the street” interviews under various pseudonyms if they couldn’t get usable footage by airtime.

And a very happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes to all who observe
Someone just told me that The Princess Bride is "overrated" and long story short it's perfectly acceptable to remove toxic people from your life.

"Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime" is objectively a funny thing to write.
i don’t want my appliances to be smart or connect to the internet. i want them to do one mechanical task for 100 years
None of us are here for very long—particularly measured against the timescales of the moon and earth and the universe beyond. Each day, each of us wakes up with a decision: You can choose to fill that time with joy or with hate. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-pure-j...
The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.
"In all of this emptiness — this is a whole bunch of nothing, this thing we call the universe — you have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist in together.” — Astronaut Victor Glover
Agreed. You responded to something that wasn’t actually said.
all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant
Mayor Mamdani chats with New Yorkers while walking the six miles from City Hall to Gracie Mansion, fulfilling the promise he made in his inauguration speech to “be outside” as Mayor — “because this is a government of New York, by New York, and for New York.”
NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.
Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.
(🎥 Al Jazeera)
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
"If you remove him you get Vance." You're familiar with Donald J Trump's foreign policy where we remove a country's leaders one by one until we get to one we can do business with? No reason impeachment can't work the same way
Harrison Ford would be the greatest poster if he ever deigned to post, which he would never do, because of the same instincts that would make him the greatest poster.
There is a path. It’s the path that Michael Vick walked. He has worked with the Humane Society for the last 17 years to educate folk about animal cruelty. He says he’ll do that work for the rest of his life.
Call me when Louis or Kanye devotes even one weekend to making reparation.
A Reddit user has meticulously kept a diary of Trump’s daily victory claims.
It should form part of every historical archive on the planet.

The Debt Came Due Notes From a Crash Fred Rossi Mar 30, 2026 There is a version of my life that exists in my memory like a photograph from a trip I’ll never take again. In that version, I wake up and get out of bed without negotiating with my body first. I drive to work. I talk to people. I solve problems. I go home. I am tired in the way ordinary people are tired, the kind of tired that a night’s sleep fixes. That life is gone. What replaced it has a name. Long COVID. ME/CFS. Post-exertional malaise. The clinical language is clean and distant, which is probably why it fails so completely to describe what it actually feels like to live inside this body right now. Here is what it feels like: I am in a crash. What a Crash Is People who don’t have this illness hear the word “crash” and picture something dramatic. A sudden collapse. A trip to the emergency room. Sirens. A crash is not that. A crash is slower and more total. Post-exertional malaise is the medical term for what happens when someone with ME/CFS or Long COVID exceeds their energy envelope. The body doesn’t just get tired. It breaks down. It stops regulating itself. And unlike ordinary fatigue, which responds to rest, PEM doesn’t resolve with sleep. It compounds. Every small expenditure of energy, whether physical, cognitive, or emotional, costs more than it would in a healthy person, and the debt accumulates in a way that rest can only partially address.

Thoughtful blog post by someone with #LongCovid & #MEcfs. Initially focuses on describing the PEM effects of working 3 days in a row before discussing how the whole illness(es) & the effect it's having on his life is making him feel emotionally
