Headline: Carbon footprint of homegrown food five times greater than those grown conventionally

This study is a prime example of the kind we need to ensure that "common-sense" solutions to #ClimateChange, such as growing food locally, doesn't accidentally make things worse when all our intuition tells us otherwise.

Same quack who gave Trump his dementia test

Same quack who was nicknamed the Candyman who gave out fentanyl, Provigil, tramadol, diazepam, ketamine, hydrocodone like skittles

…but Hunter Biden’s laptop.

One of the things a jury pool can actually do is say “no, this is too fucked up and I absolutely won’t find a Food Not Bombs volunteer ‘guilty’ of feeding people.” Pool of 15, not a single person even willing to consider it.

Snapchat has signed on in support of the horrific Kids Online Safety Act

Just FYI. Keep in mind that the requirements of this act could basically end the Internet as we know it, ultimately turning it into a China-style government system with all users' activity being linked to their
government IDs, and vast new opportunities created for personal information breaches. If you're OK with that under one party's administration, consider what the OTHER party could do with it. No matter where you stand politically, it's a train wreck for the Net, and it will make things more dangerous for children, not safer.

Every time I post about a victory, some helpful soul feels the need to explain to me why it is hollow or incomplete or they just don’t trust it and surely it will come to nothing.

Thank you, kind sir, for saving me from the moments of joy that I need in order to keep fighting.

And sure, Trump fans may cosplay civil war a lot, but when the governor of Texas is openly defying the federal government, and the former president is calling on states to send their national guards to help Texas stand against the federal government — and 25 states have pledged to actually do so — that’s not cosplay anymore. This is a real threat.

the struggle was real

In 1978, one of the greatest discoveries of lost media in history took place in the remote Yukon town of Dawson City, Canada.

After demolishing the down's decrepit, half-century-old skating rink, workers discovered that it had been built on top of a pile of wooden boxes packed into an even older swimming pool. Inside the boxes were 1,100 reels of extremely delicate nitrate film from the 1910s and '20s.

Nitrate film is famously flammable, which is why so many of the movies that were recorded on it are lost today. But packed under ice and earth, the Dawson City hoard survived the decades shockingly well. Of 1,100 reels, 527 were still playable.

Terra-Gen and Mortenson have announced the activation of the "Edwards & Sanborn Solar + Energy Storage project",
the largest solar-plus-storage project in the United States.

The project is a true renewable energy behemoth, spanning 4,600 acres, comprised of 1.9 million US-made First Solar panels.
It holds a capacity of 875 MWdc solar, and nearly 3.3 GWh of energy storage. It has a 1.3 GW interconnection capacity. 

California’s grid is expected to receive enough electricity to power the equivalent of about 238,000 homes from the project. This leads to an estimated 320,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions abated annually. 

The energy storage is made up of LG Chem, Samsung, and BYD batteries.
This feat of engineering required 98 miles of MV Wire, over 361 miles of DC wiring, and 120,720 batteries. 

Edwards & Sanborn is partially located on the Edwards Air Force Base in Kern County, California, a hub for many of the largest solar projects in the United Staes.
It represents the largest public-private collaboration in US Department of Defense history.
Since 2020, more than 1,000 craftworkers contributed to the project, and it was executed with more than a million hours of injury-free labor
