The sprawling lush green landscapes of Terracon, one of the coolest and most technically impressive PAL-exclusive PSX games. All at a mostly smooth 50fps and with scarcely any polygon wobble in sight. Terracon was developed by British studio Picture House and published by Sony in 2000.

Not much commentary on US polling that cites how badly the polls underestimated the non-fascist side in the 2023 Spain elections and the 2024 French elections.

Vaporwave isn't just slowed down 80s pop, it's an anticapitalist artistic movement satirizing and grieving the broken promises of universal luxury offered by 90s boom-era hyper capitalism

okay it's time for a prompt post: respond to this post with a correction to a common misconception about something you know a lot about. if you feel like it, boost your response. (please use a kindly tone about it, otherwise i, your prompt curator, will get anxious.)

Some actual good things are happening, in spite of everything

We've reached a real inflection point with grid battery storage. Given its recent stupendous growth—it was virtually nonexistent in 2020—it's easy to see it filling out the rest of that duck curve before the end of the decade

California Grid Breezes Through Heat Wave due to Renewables, Batteriesthinc.blog No rolling blackouts or grid emergencies as California continues on path to a carbon free grid. Several strategies, including upgrades to vulnerable parts of the grid at play here, but key enabler …

Where I post from

been watching Ken Burns' Civil War documentary, which relies heavily on firsthand historical quotes, many of which are people being like "yo this shit is crazy i can't believe it," It's a great perspective shifting tool and a reminder that wild shit happening is more the rule than the exception

A super-futuristic version of Sega's Super Hang-On and a cool illustration by manga and American comic cover artist Kia Asamiya. He also did character design work for Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

worked today sealing a neighborhood and it was like 85-87, drank at least 2 gallons of water, brought a full ice cooler and did not have any kind of heat injury which is a personal victory after last week's horrible fiasco where an old man had to save me and nurse me back to health

This will be an interesting day to reflect on in the future. "Battery cells at $50/kWh means the technology to decarbonize most of road transport globally is already here, as opposed to in some future scenario." EVs are cheaper than ICE now. Today.

China’s Batteries Are Now Cheap Enough to Power Huge Shiftswww.bloomberg.com We no longer need to model for when cell prices drop far enough to decarbonize road transport. That day is here.

today we were sealing a long drive in the 90f heat- i began to have symptoms of heat exhaustion/heat stroke. a cool elderly man who owned one of the homes shepherded me into his garage and made it his mission to ensure my safety- ice packs, a chair under the AC, a bucket to throw up in. Thanks John
