Did you know that cows have best friends? Studies have found that cows form social bonds and strong friendships with others in their herd. These friendships can last for years, and cows have been observed to seek out their best friends for social interaction and support.

The California grid has a lot of batteries attached, and it peaked at 2.7GW of power output at about 4 p.m. today. Right now, batteries are supplying about 1GW vs 26GW for natural gas plants. Renewable sources are at 10GW and dropping as solar peters out for the day. 3/n

One of the reason I am hearing so many people are either reluctant to join Mastodon, or use the platform as their main social media feed, is the lack of secure private messaging - and this is especially true of journalists, gov officials and emergency services who need ONE platform to act fast vs flipping all over the place

KISS are using tech to avoid COVID & scrapping their tour.

Kiss use Steriwave, a technology that involves putting a disinfecting liquid into the nose, then activating it with lights attached to probes to kill viruses lurking in the respiratory system.

considering how much people in US spend on useless shit and entertainment - 178$ doesn’t sound that much TBH. Or maybe I don’t understand how wages/taxes/mortgage in US works and how much people gave to spend in the end

That's a blocking

This AP story about the arrest of a Texas woman who threatened Judge Chutkan omitted the fact that she called the judge, who is Black, a “dumb slave” and the N-word. They seem really invested in downplaying this belligerent extremism that’s so pervasive on the right—even in a story about someone making death threats. https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-tanya-chutkan-judge-threats-texas-7d90ad3c8b552b49e269a3f842a6700c

Literally the *only* thing Trump had going for him up to this point was the aura of inevitability. People feel they can vote for him because he's a WINNER.

Now, between the spate of powerful indictments and more terrible poll numbers coming out, he looks pathetic, weak, and overcooked. And the more he feels cornered, the more he's going to act like a maniac and turn off even more swing voters.

LOSER. 😝
