I learned at an engineering conference recently that one crypto mine in TX, 100s of MW, makes more money off ERCOT demand response markets than it does off crypto
repeat: TX ratepayers pay them more to sometimes stop mining than they make by actual mining
just bananas misuse of power markets

This curve will level out eventually, because such curves must in a finite world, and when it does, the usual outlets will frame it as “solar’s good times are over” or whatever. We’re living through some very bad things, but also one of the most widely beneficial rollouts of any technology ever.
These turned out great. Zap somehow made extras of the one-offs (fanon!Thrax, Kaelli, Vilcor, Octavia) but ah well. Highly recommend them for sure. If I ever do another run of the Courtiers -and that's a huge IF-, they'll be my go-to for sure. #warframe
I'm not sure who to tag here, but: Valentino's Costume Group in North Hollywood has gone out of business and is liquidating like a MILLION awesome costumes, plus supplies. If you like cool clothes and can get to LA before the 30th, go!

Phonecalls are wild.
Is anyone going to do anything? Ever? What's it going to take? You can't put out a song with an uncleared sample without putting yourself in legal jeopardy; meanwhile these people are openly stealing all of human creation and bragging about it! www.nytimes.com/2024/04/06/t...
CALLED IT!!!!! CALLED IT!!!!
We went from "it's not happening" to "it's too late" in the blink of the eye! Fuck these guys--remember they are LYING FOR MONEY and it's never too late to reduce emissions!
Things get more bad as we fling more carbon into the atmosphere on a sliding scale!
Please sit down before you read this post.
So.
The CEO of Exxon-Mobil just said this in an interview: "We’ve waited too long to open the aperture on the solution sets in terms of what we need, as a society, to start reducing emissions."
There's more... 🧵

Full sequence of the annular solar eclipse at Shiprock, New Mexico. This was a dream composition of mine. So much time, energy, and money went into making it happen. I'm forever grateful to the Navajo for letting me shoot it from sacred ground. An experience I'll never forget.
