The physics of reliability: Why gas peakers alone canโ€™t save the modern grid Most outages donโ€™t start as a multihour energy shortage; they start as a frequency crisis. If you only have gas, youโ€™re trying to stop a bullet with a shield that takes 10ย minutes to lift, writesย Arun...

Five years ago it was widely assumed the grid would always need gas peaker plants. So this is quite a sentence. Good article too.

"In the energy industry, weโ€™ve spent decades leaning on a single, reliable โ€œget out of jail freeโ€ card: the natural gas peaker plant...itโ€™s becoming a liability."

The Kids Trump Sent to ICEโ€™s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

We live in a world where the binge-drinking Fox News weekend host who didn't wash his hands for a decade is openly boasting about committing genocide.

One of the striking things in Epstein's emails is how fucking inarticulate he is, and how *every other billionaire is just as bad at communicating*.

They're the exact textual equivalents of any interview with Altman or Musk or Thiel etc just fucking babbling incoherent word salad.

If Timothee Chalamet wants to make being a reverse-snob part of his deal, whatever. Be a child, you know?

But at a time when arts funding and support are so imperiled, it would be nice not to lead with your contempt for wide swaths of the arts during your campaign to have your own art recognized.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and itโ€™s good sheโ€™s gone.

But this doesnโ€™t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

I donโ€™t think theyโ€™ve gone to war to distract from the Epstein files. But that doesnโ€™t mean they wonโ€™t use it as cover since itโ€™s happening.

Kristi Noem going out praising herself for her courageous public service when all she did was steal our money and lie to America and brutalize the vulnerable and screw her boyfriend is pretty much the exit from DHS I expected of her

It is very important she eventually go to prison

I guess on the positive side, thereโ€™s a non-zero chance that the White House will accidentally launch missiles at themselves.

How Kristi Noem Lost Her Job She probably should have seen Trumpโ€™s decision to find a new homeland-security secretary coming.

I am Canadian, but I am absolutely stunned my timeline isnโ€™t awash with joy at the demise of Krist Noem. Yes itโ€™s just one person, yes itโ€™s mostly rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. But wins have been so few, and i am thrilled that this entitled idiot will lose access to some privilege.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
