Ken Klippenstein is streaming with George Galloway. The Young Turks are hosting RFK Jr. One ex bernie spokesperson is streaming with candace owens and another is defending Nick Fuentes. Brianna Wu is hanging with lauren southern. Maybe now is the time to re-evaluate how the left chooses celebrities.

When do you think Roberts found out Alito leaked Dobbs and realized that if he made it public, Alito would go scorched earth on him?
The Alitos calling their anti-Trump neighbors “fascists” for opposing a coup is quite something

I can't believe that not only are the crew of this ship still confined to the ship *because they don't have visas* but they've also had their phones confiscated so they can't be in touch with family

Another once mighty faction of the GOP crushed under MAGA "FreedomWorks leaders still believed in free trade, small government and a robust merit-based immigration system." Trump fans want tariffs and a wall and don't care about the national debt. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

1. So much today on the #H5N1 #birdflu story. Just coming up for air. FDA has found genetic evidence of the virus in commercial milk, but so far it sounds like killed virus. More info on where they found it/how prevalent it was would be useful. www.statnews.com/2024/04/23/h...

It’s the time of year where nature is absurdly beautiful and absurdly profligate! 🪺 (robin’s egg, intact, found on the ground…we looked for the nest but no luck.)

That’s because they haven’t invested in a smart grid to allow local sharing to reduce the to and fro of the grid…
California and its grid operator are grappling with a strange reality: There is so much solar on the grid that, on sunny spring days when there’s not as much demand, electricity prices go negative. Gigawatts of solar are “curtailed” — essentially, thrown away.
Rooftop solar panels are flooding California’s grid. That’s a problem.www.washingtonpost.com As electricity prices go negative, the Golden State is struggling to offload a glut of solar power.

Dollar slice pizza used to be ubiquitous in NYC, but due to inflation there's only a few places where you can still get a slice for $1. This is an interesting look at one of the last true dollar slice places as well as the economics of keeping the price so low.

Love this @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com interview with Lou Reed but I disagree with Neil about Disco Mystic which is great (and Lou included the lyric on the complete lyrics, which is quite a decision) www.neilgaiman.com/Cool_Stuff/I...

Tremendous piece, best explanation yet of how a few bad regulatory decisions broke the news model. Billions of dollars in revenue that used to go to media companies, which funded journalism, now goes to Google, which lets AI junk blot out the sun. washingtonmonthly.com/2024/01/16/h...

Once again, Maria Kabas is right on it.
NEW from me: Most Americans know Chris Rufo’s work, but relatively few know who he is. Now that he successfully orchestrated the campaign against Claudine Gay, it’s time to make him famous—and make his name synonymous with right-wing hate. www.thehandbasket.co/p/you-need-t...

Yep. Nepotism Head Starts are real, at all levels. Elon Musk. Jeff Bezos. The Rock. Ben Platt. Billie Eilish. Megan Thee Stallion. And I don't say this to shame; life is hard, take all the advantages you can get. But I think most people have no idea that the lauded equal playing field is a myth.
There is this notion that genius is something magical. In reality, many great artists were born into families of artists, like Bach.
