And if you need some context here: California is the 5th largest economy in the world. Its electrical grid seems to be on a very short path to being 100% renewable. If they can do it—adding grid stability also!—others can too. If you're a climate doomer, let this brighten your sky today, just a bit

This news is incredible. 100 days this year CA's used 100% renewables to power the entire grid, & through a heat wave, there's been no significant disruption (cough *Texas*). Energy analysts are seeing a "phase-change" of the grid with the addition of 5 nuclear plants worth of battery storage, wow

I like this. I'm going with this strategy. Voters are going to show up and reject fascism, reject abortion bans, reject authoritarianism, and I'll believe that until the final votes are cast. Also, there is a LOT of time between now and election day. Look at what's already happened this year!

I may be delusional. I dunno. It feels better to hold on to hope for the next 3-1/2 months; if I’m wrong come November it won’t feel any worse than being pessimistic and being right would. I just see the GOP in the position of Hillary not-going-to-WI/PA/MI confidence right now, and I have hope

In architecture school, fellow students would always explain their designs saying “users will do [x]” without actually showing how the design would have said impact, and it drove me nuts I feel the same way about people thinking the assassination attempt will send voters to Trump show your work!

I’m concerned by the number of people here unclear that this is an obvious joke

Incredible stuff.

I’ve used this company multiple times and I’m definitely not doing that anymore, they can get fucked

STICKER COMPANY CEO: You know how our business model relies on artists and other small-time creative people using our printing services? STAFF: Yeah CEO: What if we burned that all down?

JD Vance is particularly odious to me because we’re roughly the same age and from the same part of Ohio and I grew up with a hundred pasty, squishy faced white dudes like him & they’re all convinced they’re marginalized because you can’t smoke at Waffle House or say the n-word anymore

JD Vance looks like if you fed Project 2025 into Midjourney

JD Vance is 39???? I thought he was at *least* mid-40s

jd vance looks like if a baby got old but not in the normal way

this grubby little freak is not going to help Trump but he was the obvious choice that Trump would make (he’s a toady, and he’s white with a “normal” name)

in 2013 I saw a man get a 100,000 hour probation on the SomethingAwful forums and today I saw him come off probation and immediately pick up the same argument, quoting a reply from 2013, absolute next-level hater, I can't even imagine, my man is the Count of Monte Posters

furious at the parents who scheduled a kid’s birthday party at a ballgame on a 94-degree day, I can’t believe we did that

a thing without recent precedent happened fifteen minutes ago; here’s precisely the impact I know it will have—

I once saw a guy on Reddit say that a sandwich is NEVER worth the time and effort it takes to assemble it. I think about him every day.

this is by far the craziest longshot candidate replacement idea I’ve heard, but if the technology’s there I’ll hear them out

I am toying with a “2024 Biden is 2016 Trump” theory on polling/electoral prospects he seems fatally flawed, the party is panicking, there are calls for him to drop, but he might be okay because so many people hate his opponent who has full control of their party but no juice
