I have confirmation the SAVE Act died because Senate Republicans knew it would disenfranchise their own voters at much higher rates than Democrats. I wasn’t going crazy.

Good lord

*CATL UNVEILS BATTERIES CHARGED UP TO 98% IN SIX MINS

This is my favourite graphic.

It's incredible how far DAYTIME solar has already come with almost no batteries.

Just think how this will change with batteries, when instead of daytime solar, we get DISPATCHABLE solar.

The solar boom is only just starting...

Really not a fan of this new conception of masculinity that’s all whiny entitlement and permissiveness with none of the responsibility.

Good piece, worth reading, and if you don’t have time, the first paragraph is the text in this post, and it suffices as well.

let me on infowars. i will be fully insane. i believe that electricity changed colors in the 2010s and that straight people are actually space monsters attempting to breed a race of gay superhumans to fight in their star wars

Pat McAfee might be done. Not just in WWE, like in totality. No hyperbole, everyone hates him. He's an instant channel change. I stopped watching College Gameday because of him. Think his brand of obnoxious douchebag bro has finally (FINALLY!!) run its course.

First: hilarious.

Second: A core belief of Trump-brand conservativsm is there are and never have been difficult problems, only dumb leaders without the strength to be cruel enough to solve them.

It's why they always look so baffled when pushing the "more cruelty" button doesn't seem to work.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, KEVIN

“The MAGA crowd is made of dumb people — like, SUPER dumb people. And they fall for it.”

For my @wired.com feature debut, I talked to Sam, a guy who made thousands of dollars on Instagram by scamming MAGA men with Emily Hart, an AI generated, Trump-loving influencer. www.wired.com/story/ai-gen...

everyone please stop calling ai glasses the "pervert glasses". this is appropriation of swirly glasses from pervert scientist women

I NEED IT.

age of electricity!! age of electricity!!

This is just horrific. The gender critical movement along with the British press bullied her out of her job at the NHS and now they doxed her after she fled the country and are continuing the harassment and defamation. These people are absolute monsters.

Tucker Carlson: I'II be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. We're implicated in this. I misled people.

It'd sure be nice if Kamala Harris' campaign organization wouldn't constantly promote Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, and whatnot. But oh well.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

okay, so you know how the dude in doctor strangelove went nuts over purity of essence and his bodily fluids and so forth

that’s not a joke, that’s an actual type of guy

There has been an important change. Millions and millions of people no longer fear or respect the fascists. We recognize them as evil clowns. Although this is an insult to actual clowns who are, in fact, magnificent.

We will replace the global fascist plutocracy with a locally-based humane society

Dalton Castle, on my #MysteryWrestling?

The day before my birthday?

Don't mind if I do!

For Carlos Silva's sake, I hope he lied to Fightful. Because if he actually screwed with a *Memorial Show* because Collision aired on a Thursday due to the Final Four for the second year in a row, he should be blackballed from pro wrestling

Funny that this is the only media coverage WWE has managed to get.

the closing shot of AEW Dynasty showing Max being lowered into his devil hole

honestly this is the energy I'm bringing into my day

our Dynasty episode feels like it was a hundred years ago but just in case you'd like to know how wrong we were, it's here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s... #wrestlesky

Why is the Maga project teetering? Because not even Trump supporters voted for this dysfunction | Moira Donegan The president’s fixation on culture-war grievances is a colossal misreading of voters who just want prices to come down, says Guardian US columnist Moira Donegan

tRump's MAGA project is already teetering—his own voters wanted lower prices and economic relief, not endless culture war obsessions and dysfunction. Even supporters are waking up to the chaos they didn't sign up for. Buyer's remorse hitting hard.

COVID vaccines tied to less hospital care, long COVID, and economic burden

The study certainly appears to add to evidence that ‘COVID vaccination can play a role in reducing disease burden and associated costs, and it highlights the value of increasing vaccination.’

She raised concerns about her company's contracts with ICE. Then she lost her job Billie Little had worked for Thomson Reuters for about two decades. She was fired after questioning whether federal immigration agents unlawfully used their products.

tRump's ICE is ramping up mass surveillance & raids, even snaring U.S. citizens while firing whistleblowers who dare question shady data deals with Thomson Reuters. This cruel overreach isn't "enforcement"—it's authoritarian chaos. We won't stand for it.

I've been doing a look ahead to next month. On the 18th May the Slivery Waxing Crescent Moon will appear close to Venus. On the 20th May Venus has a very close encounter with one of my favourite star clusters, M35. Won't be easy to spot the cluster close to the evening western horizon. 🔭 🧪

WWE fans are gross
