If the best time was when the tax credits were in effect, the next best time arguably is now, esp. if you can charge at home. Not regretting our heat pump either.
We're too shady for our own solar, but energy from our utility's shared solar pilot is cheaper than the basic rate for grid power.
In next month’s Wisconsin Supreme Court election, liberals could lock down a majority on the court through 2030 and secure a critical voting rights backstop during the next presidential election.
If someone in your life talked like this, you would research involuntary commitment
Maybe people will wake up to the fact that the AI push has been about paying workers even less and taking away job security.
Less "prompt engineering" and more labor organizing.

Hey, great news gang! Vinay Prasad is out at the FDA.
Again.
Let’s hope it sticks this time.
Giddy up!
It pisses me off that the movement’s leaders all have their own kids vaccinated but they’re ok with the MAGA rubes’ kids getting sick and dying because this antivaxx nonsense advances their overarching narrative that all neutral sources of information are corrupt.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
I HAVE FIVE BASIC, OBVIOUS DEMANDS TO RESTORE THE INTEGRITY OF ELECTIONS. BUT I CAN ONLY REMEMBER THREE OF THEM. AND TWO ARE ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
Kinda blows that the post WWII international order might've been preserved if Israel had done a better job jailing Netanyahu and America had done a better job jailing Trump.
2008 vibes - our last big gas price spike. PBLs had just emerged in US cities. Biking was a way to reduce dependence and save money.
We’ve since gone through safety, equity, and health waves. Back now to gas prices & oil dependency.
When do we just get to say, “Biking is a multisolving good, LFG!”

it's funny you can see how much the New Deal fixed macroeconomic stability within the United States, and the elite hated FDR for it
my all-time favorite New Order single is 45 years old today
Like he could've just come out of the White House every morning like a cuckoo clock, said something outrageous to make his base happy, then went to golf. And people would call him an economic genius because he grew gdp and tamed inflation. But here we are.
Stock market tanking again today and oil *way* up. What's crazy is Trump could've just rode out the current regression to the mean on inflation, combined with an apparent productivity boom. Instead, did the opposite of econ 101: kicked out workers, reduced immigration, started wars of choice.
BREAKING: U.S. Central Command is now saying internally that this war against Iran is likely to last through September, per POLITICO
A graph of change in Federal employment since January 2025
Federal government employment is down 324k since the start of 2025 amidst DOGE cuts—that's more than 10% of the Federal workforce
The large drop in October was caused by many workers who had been on deferred resignation becoming officially unemployed
The economic story just changed dramatically.
Payrolls fell -92k in Feb. Jan growth was revised down by -4k to +126k. And Dec revisions subtracted -64k to -17k.
Unemployment rate up a tick to 4.4%.

Here's another dandy euphemism: Noem is "plagued by controversy." She plagued the nation with murders of American citizens, SS goon squads, concentration camps, and illegality. Controversy, sure, #BrokenTimes.

Point/Counterpoint This War Will Shut Off 20% of the Global Petroleum Supply for A Month and Send the Economy into a Stagflationary Tailspin vs. No It Won’t Published: March 26, 2003
I cannot easily describe in words how frustrating and stupid that its been clear for a while now that Donald Trump's biggest wound is his handling of the Epstein files and the Epstein situation, who died not like a year or so ago, but damn near a decade ago, with most of this shit known at the time
We can draw on the last war authorization in 2002 to say that any Democrat with pretensions of running for president who votes to fund war in Iran will never win the nomination

“thank you sir for firing me like a dog, which seems distinctly preferable to other ways one might deal with an unwanted dog”
Kristi Noem’s firing could have a chilling effect on cabinet members’ ability to award nine-figure no-bid contracts to their cronies.
South Dakota's "Meth. We're on it" campaign
I'll always remember Kristi Noem for the "Meth. We're on it." campaign.

nobody seems to fucking get this!!!! "the enemy gets a vote" but moreover trump/israel deliberately killed all the people at the top controlling the enemy, which does not destroy the enemy but in fact turns them into a dozen new, smaller enemies!! I feel like i'm going fucking insane
You could stop doing the harmful, dumb, pointless thing in the meantime
