Thanks to Ember for some unpublished data, I made this chart showing the massive shift away from gas-linked power prices in Spain, relative to the increasingly gas-reliant market in Italy
No wonder Italy wants to tackle high power prices!

Tweet by Adam Kinzinger responding to a post about the U.S. using low-cost interceptors against Iranian drones, suggesting Ukraine provided the technology. The image shows Donald Trump speaking at a podium during a White House event.
My my, how it’s come full circle.
In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.
"Jews don't belong in American society."
Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.
But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.
Joe, you'll be missed. Your performance at Woodstock remains a pure moment in American history.
Eunice Newton Foote was the first to identify the warming effect of greenhouse gases, more than 2 years before Tyndall. If we’d listened…
Listen to women. Particularly in science. #InternationalWomensDay

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
So it the effort into producing financial security - build council housing, nationalise water companies (businesses taking the piss),encourage immigration for social care. Dunno. Make people’s lives better, that’s the way to win *all* the voters
You fail to acknowledge that many 2024 Labour voters would have voted for a balloon on a stick to get the Tories out, they were that sick of them after Partygate, pandemic scandals and Liz Truss. Those voters had no interest in your manifesto. They just wanted to give the Tories the biggest kicking.
Who was the best footballer in the Gamma Quadrant?

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
Will be there.

Not gonna lie: much less exciting story than the headline made it sound
I honestly hope none of those influencers whose jobs is posting about their supposedly idyllic lives in Dubai get hurt, but, by Golly, JG Ballard couldn’t have constructed a more satisfying comeuppance for a dystopia sold as a Utopia.
*laughs in "years of Benghazi hearings"*
This is absolutely bizarre, I’ve never seen anything like it, and I still don’t know what to make of it.
I was born in Denton…

This. No idea who'll win Gorton & Denton but 50 votes either way can be the difference between 'existential crisis for Starmer, Is Politics Remade' & 'Starmer lives to fight another day'. (either way the underlying story is; a safe Labour seat shouldn't look like this, but the vibes do matter)
Oh, is that why physics and astronomy got cut to the bone then? So tired of the ‘AI’ obsession.
A remarkable historical document from 2008:
the NYT on Jeffrey Epstein’s plea and jail sentence. The last paragraph will be interesting to readers of the recent release of his emails.

And so if you really *mean* "never again" -- if you're serious about it -- then the time to intervene, the time to speak up, the time to stop it, is *when it is still small*. When it's just a casual slur. When it's just sports. When it's just asking questions. When it's framed as anti-PC.
