Germany is seeing unusually strong solar power output in March, helping to cap electricity prices even as the conflict in the Middle East drives up the cost of energy worldwide.
Just as Trump opens up Russian oil sales to India. Exactly how much Kompromat does Putin have on Trump?
The people at @wired.com are kicking ass. The people at @404media.co and @techdirt.com and @theverge.com are, too.
We should all be subscribing, donating, or in other ways GIVING THEM MONEY if they ask for it and we have it to give. Same goes for so many other journalists and news sources.
All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.
Congrats to these 4 strong law firms that refused to knuckle under. And to Princeton, Harvard, Wesleyan etc who've used their fame and resources to set that example in education. And governors and mayors. And district court and circuit-court judges. AND AMERICANS BY THE MILLIONS, across the country.
Say it ain't so, @reckless.bsky.social

Got it. Thanks. I had to double-check CNBC... Let's hope your premonition is incorrect. (I have a bunch of $NVDA)
You might consider adjusting your auto-post. Markets up big today, especially Nasdaq.

Dumb and incompetent, though the two often go hand-in-hand.
North Carolina’s Lawrence Academy has never reported Black enrollment higher than 3% in a county whose population hovers around 60% Black.
It received $518,240 in vouchers in the 2023-2024 school year to fund 86 of its over 200 students.

A MOTHER JONES SCOOP! New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie with the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. @nlanard.bsky.social
Breaking: The Olympic gold-winning U.S. women's hockey team DECLINES Trump's invitation to his State of the Union address after he was caught on video mocking them.
Love this:
This is what happens when the Trump Administration takes charge of weather forecasting.
From People Magazine: people.com/jeffrey-epst... Not only Putin’s money, but his Kompromat (perhaps in exchange for managing his money). This explains a lot.
As I keep saying, the Epstein story is an offshore finance story.
And offshore finance is about elite impunity: insistence on their wealth and their persons being protected by the law, but never being subject to the law.
It's the "Every man a King" fantasy made real.

We only have access to this incredibly important (and evil) memo because Chris fought tooth and nail to obtain and share it! An impressive journalistic feat and a real public service.
Exclusive reporting from @jasondelrey.bsky.social www.readtheaisle.com/p/exclusive-...
There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over.
I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.
"Commercial interests, rather than military or political concerns, are driving the United States' talks with Russia," writes Charles Hecker, an associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, in this op-ed.
fyi @scripting.com
Pivot from solely castigating Trump. Instead, paint the Republican Party for what it is -- not conservative but extreme and dangerous. Time to rebuild the Brand Democrat. peterhimler.substack.com/p/the-much-m...
Since it’s a holiday weekend and this published on saturday, I wanted to reshare this essay about a culture of nihilism that seems to be evolving. Maybe it’ll help connect a few dots for you as it did for me writing it (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
