My first cassette and the pin I gave my girlfriend in 5th grade, was Purple Rain. I ended up living in Minneapolis, playing sax in funk bands in the early 90s. We covered this song, before the album was officially re-released. Rockhard in a funky place #prince #anniversary

El SDO de la NASA capturó una impresionante lluvia de plasma solar más grande que la Tierra durante 9 horas. Un fenómeno de energía deslumbrante.
Crown shyness is one of many adaptations that allow trees to coexist in communities. Certain species leave gaps when growing next to each other; a behavior scientists believe may be a way to ensure they both have access to sunlight and resources.

NASA captured one of the most detailed views ever taken of Jupiter
🚨: One of the most clearest images of Jupiter ever captured!
Gotta love David Byrne using Minneapolis footage of ICE during his show: Life During Wartime:

"The average taxpayer in 2025 paid: $4,049 for weapons and war, vs. $2,492 for Medicaid, which provided health insurance to 68.5 million Americans in 2025 — about one in five Americans."
The Forest Service just told Congress to go pound sand. Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz appeared before the House Appropriations Committee this week and made it clear the agency is moving forward with
Guess what? The largest renewable energy project in the US, SunZia Wind, is up and running! 916 turbines in New Mexico sending clean power to California. Talk about a breeze! 🌬️💨 Check it out: www.eenews.net/articles/largest-us-rene...
A car charger on the wall of a workshop is plugged in to a Hyundai Kona.
This photo may not look like much, but it’s very exciting— we are now able to charge our car on our 100% off-grid solar set-up.
The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.
The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.
The Senate vote to destroy America’s most visited wilderness could happen with 24 hours’ notice and the deadline runs out at the end of April.
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?
The bottom 95% of taxpayers will see tax INCREASES on average this year, driven primarily by expanded tariffs and expiration of health insurance credits.
Meanwhile, the richest 1% alone will receive $117 billion in tax CUTS in 2026.
Never forget who Trump governs for.
Macromedia Fireworks 1.0 in 1998
In April 1998, Macromedia released the Macromedia Fireworks 1.0 graphics program. The program was able to work with both vector and bitmap graphics and was designed specially for web designers.

This is one only favorite places, this is awful. What can we do
The politics of data centers has been largely at the local level. Now, it's rising to the level of state governors. I talked with @jael.bsky.social of @heatmap.news on what states are starting to do: heatmap.news/plus/the-fig...
I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap.
I can’t believe it 😭
NASA releases new image of planet Jupiter captured by James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful telescope ever built.
Seven countries now generate 100% of their electricity from renewable sources, proving the transition is not theoretical but already operational. The barrier is no longer technology, but political will, investment priorities, and the courage to move faster.
In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.
Late capitalism and moneys is all like:I know this steak isn’t real, but I am going to enjoy every bite as I literally give up my soul to it because the other choice is to learn how to farm.

Around 7,000 Indigenous people from more than 200 tribes marched in Brasilia, Brazil, to demand faster demarcation of Indigenous lands and to denounce violence and land conflicts in their territories, according to organizers.
Data centers can increase pollution, raise utility costs, and burden entire electrical grids.
I am proud to be an original cosponsor of the Power for the People Act to hold data centers accountable for their own electrical costs and establish incentives to reduce their impact on the power grid.
