Another big statement against the Senate bill. The trade union representing 860,000 electrical workers says the bill will cost "hundreds of thousands of good-paying construction jobs." I hadn't seen this statement reported anywhere else.

It'd be nice if he took some responsibility for creating this problem, but he ain't wrong. Also, thank god he can't run for President himself.

"I promise to not raise your taxes" and "I promise to not cut your benefits" are the two popular political promises that are inconsistent with the much more needed promise "I promise to cut the budget deficit to about 3 percent of GDP" that is required to prevent a big

If you want new generation, your only viable option over the next ~3 years is solar/wind/BESS based on timeline to procure/deploy other tech. A few implications: This bill doesn’t kill RE near term, it just makes it more expensive, that’ll mostly be carried by rate payers.

I love how the right romanticizes coal - as if every movie about a coal town wasn’t about someone trying to escape because the jobs suck and everyone dies of black lung or mine collapse - and burning it isn’t an expensive way to cause respiratory disease and hasten global warming

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment: Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand; Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else

Holy fucking shit, this is a major emergency. Dem party needs a wholesale overhaul: nytimes.com/2025/08/20/us/…

Not long ago, I would have said there’s no way in hell that this could happen in America, but that was then and this is now. So, here’s the scenario that could unfold:

This bums me out. Kids are the best thing there is and it's not political. Families are good for us all.

I have never even slightly wavered in my position that Trump is bad and stupid

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Got flooded with “go back to your country” and “America doesn’t need you” on my H-1B tweet. America is 4.1% of the world. Even if Americans were 10X more likely to be geniuses, 70% would still be born elsewhere. Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, and Sergey Brin weren’t born American.

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of energy in their fuel. EVs are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

So is this where they declare martial law and start lining up the loyal opposition? nytimes.com/live/2025/09/2…

These talks should have collapsed. Fossil fuels cause climate change, not to say that amounts to a lie. nytimes.com/2025/11/22/cli…

So in maybe 50 years human reproduction will consist of clones being raised by robots. Cool cool. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/…

Death to early decision, death to legacy admissions! Colleges and Universities talk a big game about ethics, public service, etc, then run themselves like the Trump administration. Next they'll start issuing meme coins and selling NFTs and gilded sneakers. nytimes.com/2025/12/10/opi…

Jacob Perry 🇺🇲 🇺🇦 I’d refuse. It’s an illegal order. I’ll publish an article on this tomorrow.

Trump’s America.

SF teacher's union isn't negotiating in good faith. Every day they delay costs the district ~$8M. Teachers need a better contract but the district has budget realities they'd be irresponsible to neglect. District has compromised, union needs to as well. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/tea…
