GOOGLE SUCKS BIGLY... Latest update to Android 16 with One UI 8.5 totally screwed up the display of my S24+ and wiped out Black Mode! Colors and contrast are such that the phone is barely useable. Google obviously didn't debug it before release. Oh, wait...they fired their humans and used AI? 🤬

Bush misread a narrow win as a mandate. An unpopular war followed, and his approval collapsed. Sound familiar? Tomorrow's piece traces the parallel between his and Trump’s presidencies. And if you missed yesterday's piece on the bipartisan backlash to data centers, that one is worth your time too.

Utah’s solar generation eclipsed all other electricity sources for the first time ever in May, the culmination of a slow but steady years-long shift away from coal. Energy experts are calling it a win for the environment and the state’s economy.
grist.org
In a first, Utah got more power from solar than any other source
The state used to run on coal, relying on it for as much as 78 percent of its power a decade ago. But now renewables are surging.

Lack of any filter is an indicator of increasing dementia.
Screenshot of a tweet by a user named Canada Goose joking that the military may not have wanted people to know something, quoting a post from Republicans Against Trump. The quoted tweet shows Trump claiming the military is building a large complex under a ballroom. The image shows Trump holding up a rendering of a classical-style building with columns, with a news banner reading “Breaking News” and “Trump: You never know with Iran.”
