the correct response to his illegal coercive bullying has and always will be this, especially if you are a literal law firm, and anyone who capitulated and finds their firm’s reputation in tatters with nothing to show for it has only themselves to blame

Sort of right! Top three for week of 2/11 were:

- D.C. KO #4
- Absolute Wonder Woman Annual #1
- Sirens: Love Hurts #1

Only picked up three this week (Absolute Batman #17, Titans #32, Uncanny X-Men #24) so that’s an easy list to make!

Gonna try to predict my top three this week:

- Bleeding Hearts #1

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

POLITICO Pro: Electricity demand is quickly outpacing supply, watchdog warns NERC’s report comes as energy demand and prices are quickly becoming a political flash point ahead of the midterm elections.

"NERC also warned that new resources β€” which will largely consist of battery storage and solar in the next five years β€” and transmission are not being built quickly enough"

This isn't because of the last administration--this is on the current one.

Has anyone asked the airlines if they want safety rules written by slop machines?

If I were advising on the use of LLMs in federal rulemaking, this is about the last area I’d recommend.

Up next: oil spill prevention, food safety, nuclear power plants?

There’s actually a really easy way out of this and it’s for the feds to stop lying, terrorizing and murdering innocent people. Thats it!
