We must require ALL data centers and other extremely large corporate users of electricity to generate their own electricity at their own expense If we don't do this, we are either idiots and/or masochists.

Dear NBA,
I KNOW it is all about the money and you don’t care about our convenience, but this having to use 3 different streaming services to watch playoff games each night is, (and I say this with all the love I can for the game,) complete horseshit.
Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%
He only cared about ONE thing...how it looked on TV. Enough has been said regarding the impossible healing job...not enough said about the depravity it takes to kill your followers to make good television.
There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.
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?
America would be better off run by actual 8 year olds, instead of 70 year olds who behave like 8 year olds. 🫣
Remember Planthony? Well, we could use him again so here he is bringing us much needed levity in this growing dire times. And once again, if you’re in Seattle please visit his store
When CITIZENS VOTE in MASSIVE NUMBERS, the FACIST and AUTOCRATS LOSE. It happens every ELECTION that sees MASSIVE TURNOUT. This is why the MAGAt’s are so DESPERATE to deny AMERICANS the RIGHT TO VOTE for as many as possible
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.

In the midst of some agonizing career decisions, and this post landed on the bullseye. Thank you.
America's money goes to Hungary. To Argentina. To fund wars in Iran and invasions of Venezuela.
It goes to kill shipwrecked survivors. To ICE, who shoot US citizens and build concentration camps
Our money seems to fund death and destruction all across the globe
But it never goes to help Americans
Spot on.
If we had continued on with Obamas investments in solar ,wind, clean energy and electric cars the straight of Hormuz could have gone and fucked itself by now.
Science is good. We should fund it.

I think pie was invented for breakfast.
The best thing about Thanksgiving dinner is pumpkin pie for breakfast the next morning.
Nothing says Trump more than spreading neurotoxicants on the population.

We're asking you to keep the No Kings energy going with house meetings of your local community — friends, neighbors, and folks newly activated. There's a lot to do between now and the midterms, and it's vital that we grow the portion of the population engaged in sustained action against the regime.
There is something you can do about all of this — make your plans for May 1. This country needs a united show of power, energy, and hope.

Commentary: UIC’s newest addition — the Computer Design, Research, and Learning Center — is the most hopeful architectural addition since the 1960s.
Black text on white background “Happy Easter, New York! Today, millions of New Yorkers celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory of hope over despair and faith over fear. As the air warms and cherry blossoms begin to bloom, this holy day is a sacred time to pause and reflect on a season of rebirth. Whether you spend this day singing in pews, parading on Fifth Avenue, joining a processional guided by the bamboo trumpets of Haitian Rara music, or hunting for painted eggs amidst the spring grass, I wish every New Yorker celebrating a joyous day. Let us all embrace this holiday's spirit of hope and renewal as we build the City — and the world — that we deserve.”
