Plenty of criticism on the right of the #SCOTUS leaker and the Times’s reporting, but has anyone actually responded to the argument that Roberts’s assessment of “irreparable harm” and his refusal to balance the equities is completely inconsistent with his subsequent behavior in all the Trump cases?

Very cool: Rivian sends old batteries to Redwood, who hooks them all up via its special sauce, and now the batteries are helping power a Rivian manufacturing plant!
Closed loop starting to come into sight ...
It’s Earth Day this week and days after our astronauts returned from their mission around the moon—so it seems particularly ironic that the GOP is using this week to gut our bedrock environmental laws—including the ESA and NEPA.
We’re back at it defending our communities and our planet!
Thank you for being strong!
The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.
It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

There's a war on for your mind.

“The Trump administration’s relentless bullying ignores a central lesson from classical antiquity: Athens’s shift from benevolent hegemony to malevolent empire paved its road to ruin,” Stewart Patrick writes.
The Spurs' dynasty fell apart, brick by brick. First Duncan. Then Manu. Then Parker. Then Kawhi.
Sunday at the Frost Bank Center, a certain French phenom aims to take the next step in putting it all back together again.

All right, this piece has triggered me so I have to yell a bit (though this is bluesky, so I realize I'm just preaching at the choir):
The sunlit crescent of Earth sets behind the gray, cratered surface of the Moon.

Trump is making America poorer, meaner, and harder to trust. Fewer people want to visit, study, invest, or build a future here.
That means fewer jobs, weaker local businesses, higher prices, and more pain for ordinary Americans, including Trump voters.
BREAKING: We just won our antitrust trial against LiveNation and Ticketmaster.
Live Nation has raked in billions in profits from an illegal monopoly that coerces venues, restricts artists, and exploits fans.
This is a massive win in the fight for fairness for local venues, artists, and fans.

Put yourself in shoes of someone in a oil & gas importing country
Its triage: which hospitals get fuel, which industries shut, which crops get fertilizers?
Those who don't have deep pockets in a bidding war pay in increased hunger, lost wages and shrinking economies.

NEW ANALYSIS: @ember-energy.org just dropped a new report on how the 1970s energy crises decoupled economic growth from fossil fuels but not from electricity.
Global oil demand per capita peaked in 1979 and has never recovered.
Makes for a fascinating reading. lnkd.in/enwWTZxA

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

“Of course, I care a lot about it, and I feel a certain guilt about polluting so much as someone who flies 41 times a season.

We need to talk a bit about how utterly absurd the March heatwave was in the USA.
This heatwave would have been impossible without a boost from climate change, but even with climate change it remains a deeply unlikely event.
