He lost in court FIVE times trying to kill two wind projects that would have powered over a million homes.
Wind and solar are now the cheapest forms of energy on the planet. It is pure math. If you want lower electric bills, clean energy is how you do it.
Your electricity bills are way too high, and Donald Trump is paying nearly a BILLION dollars of YOUR money to a foreign company to keep them that way.
Yes, you heard that right. The President of the United States is literally spending your tax dollars to make your energy bills more expensive.
Pick your poison: speech, discrimination, voting, violence, etc. etc.
@gregsargent.bsky.social nails it here that the essence of Trumpism is that he and their followers can do what they want, but when the opposition does the same it is wrong.
The thing about reading this fine article is that there is no longer anything in it that is surprising in it.
I also think that a Machiavellian use of corruzione carries a bit more interpretive weight than its English variant, corruption, just because it implies a greater measure of moral rot.
Those in the AI group were more likely to solve problems correctly at first, but when AI was removed, they got more questions wrong or skipped them entirely. The participants were also less likely to persist with finishing the problems, which is one of the most important ways to acquire a skill.
The Profa Republican Party is an international crime syndicate of right-wing extremists

When I read Alex Karp’s book last year, I thought it should’ve been a tweet. Now Palantir has turned it into a tweet-length manifesto, which could’ve just been a picture of a MAGA hat.
Karp is… not a subtle thinker.

"However, instead of facing consequences for its public health violations, the Shelby County Health Department awarded xAI a five-year permit to operate 15 turbines."
Permission to pollute.
“Breathe easy,” the mailer promised. But as we approached Elon Musk’s new xAI data center in Memphis, we were hit with noxious odors, and gas turbines roared like jet engines.
Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.
This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.
So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
Ultimately, we should all be wary of cognitive shortcuts, which is something "our brains love", Kosmyna says. Clearly, for long-term brain health we need to continue to challenge ourselves. Our minds, creativity and cognitive health will benefit in the process.
It's clear that the more active our brain is, the more protected it is from cognitive decline. LLMs then, Ming says, could not only reduce creativity but could harm cognition and potentially increase the risk of dementia.
Increased use of GPS has been linked to worse spatial memory over time. And poor spatial navigation may be a potential predictor of Alzheimer's Disease, according to another study.
Studies have already shown that young people might be particularly vulnerable to the negative effects that using AI can have on key cognitive skills like critical thinking.
A recent multinational study team found that medical professionals who used an AI tool to screen for colon cancer for three months were subsequently worse at spotting the tumours without it.
ChatGPT also affected people's memories. People in the AI group were unable to quote from their essays, and several felt they had no ownership over the work. Other studies have also shown that people become less able to retain and recall information when they use AI tools such as ChatGPT.
There is now a growing body of research suggesting that this "cognitive offloading" to AI can have a corrosive effect on our mental abilities. The consequences could be alarming and may even contribute to cognitive decline.
Election deniers have for weeks targeted Texas' March 3 primaries (& a January special election in the state), baselessly claiming there's been “massive” fraud & cheating in those races.
Republicans have full control of the Texas government, including its chief election officer.
My latest:
Hegseth has, uh, not been a defense secretary who has been overly concerned with the “freedoms” of service members in any other context — gender, religion, political expression, even just, like, facial hair
that is conservative "freedom" alright, I get to do what I want, and you also get to do what *I* want, or else bsky.app/profile/paul...

Reminder that shes not just a bigot with bad opinions
She actively funds hate groups taking regular trans people to court for doing their jobs, signal boosts lies about individual trans people to her millions of followers and lobbies courts and government to attack us
It is clear that many cis people are not aware just how up to her neck Rowling is in funding and driving anti trans sentiment in the UK.
She's not just a person with a vile opinion.
Arrests fuel fears among Madagascar’s gen Z protesters that new regime no better than one they overthrew
Both sides of this are arguing over a fictional premise: that Harris lost because of votes withheld on the disgruntled left flank. The data's just not there to support that. There were of course some, mostly on Gaza. But not enough, on any credible estimate, to account for the margin of defeat.
Dana Nessel, Michigan’s AG, went over the head of a county prosecutor to file those charges because he refused to do so.
That county prosecutor just won the endorsement to replace Nessel as AG.
The UMich Regent who allegedly spearhead efforts to prosecute student protestors lost his endorsement to the Lebanese immigrant who represented those students in court.
