Pleased to report
In the background, mist rises over a field just starting to recover from a controlled burn, with tree covered hills barely visible in the distance. In the foreground, a purple dotted with rainwater blooms from a curling vine. The flower looks like it is from the moon but it is actually a passion flower. I do not know enough flower anatomy to describe it but it is alien and purple with fine maroon stripes and a green stamen.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Solar and wind generation meet record 80% of power demand on Australia’s national grid
Rooftop solar alone generates more than half of all power used, as clear sunny days and low demand drive record-breaking surge Sunshine and wind met 80.4% of demand on Australia’s main power grid on Saturday, setting a new high bar for renewable electricity. Solar panels on rooftops provided more than half of the power used in the National electricity market, the grid that supplies the eastern states, South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory, for 30 minutes around lunchtime. This was complemented by solar and wind farms, and a small amount of hydro (1%). Fossil fuels, coal and gas, contributed 20%. Continue reading...

Tonight I got to shoot this beauty in the genus Feigeria. Fingers in photo for scale, of course, and to show this month’s sparkly green nail polish. 🌱🌿 #moth
A large moth on a yellow leaf. My hand is in the picture. The moth’s wingspan is about the length of my middle finger. The wings are mostly brown with silver but some of the brown is iridescent and shines purple. The edges of the wings are scalloped with little points like cut with crafting scissors. The underside of the moth. It is mostly tan with bands of dark brown.

With Trump unleashing insane tirades against regulating AI, Obama just urged Dems to adopt a comprehensive position on it, warning that failure to act now will be "dangerous." Trump's malevolence has given Dems a big opening. They should seize on it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2154...

The Real Reason Obama’s Harsh Warning to Dems About AI Is So Unnerving
Most Democrats have more or less the right position on AI. But their arguments are way too narrow to dramatize the real stakes. They should aim higher.

They’re letting the Kennedy Center fall into disrepair so they have an excuse to tear it down. Howard Lutnick is openly advocating for it:
Howard Lutnick @howardlutnick
X.com
Here is the video of the ceiling of the Kennedy Center crashing violently onto the main Lobby floor. Failing roofing, collapsing concrete supports, and steel that is rotting have created completely unsafe conditions.
It was caught on security video, missing one of the Center's security guards by just minutes. If a performance had been underway, patrons could have been killed.
The entire building is in this kind of shape. People cannot be allowed to go into this building any longer. It must be closed and reconstructed, and a major fundraising effort must take place to cover the Kennedy Center's operating expenses.Like many other Centers, it operates at a huge loss. For the Kennedy Center, that has historically been $80-$100 million a year.
Only President Trump can deliver the renovation on time and on budget, and only President Trump can raise the money to keep the Center out of bankruptcy.
