“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

The fraternity brothers in the group chat who cheer violence? That behavior is being modeled by the president of this country. I cannot stress this enough — Trump is teaching young men how to be abusive every time he opens his mouth.

A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”

Texas shattered energy demand records this summer. Here's why the grid held up.
Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.

It's genuinely fascinating that the US president keeps announcing that he just flat out doesn't know what trade is, he legit doesn't appreciate the concept of exchange and instead views economic activity through the lens of a dragon attempting to maximise its gold hoard to sit upon.

Musk targets trans people for many reasons. Because he thinks it works. Because he thinks it enrages Republicans and depresses everyone else. Because he wants to torture his own child. Because he wants the message to be that the only safe political move is to join in the torture of his own child.

I have seen takes that you would not believe. Atlas Shrugged is an explicitly *anti-Christian* text. What is remarkable about the modern right is that they can not only claim diametrically opposed works as their own, but brutally misinterpret them both at the same time.
Tweet from one @chadjmul that reads:

As a Christian, husband, father, and citizen, I think that outside the Bible, Atlas Shrugged is one of the most important books of our cultural moment. Please take the time to read it. You won't be sorry that you did.

Working on a piece for the newsletter, this is a data point - smart people keep shrugging and saying “communities don’t like data centers because of ‘vibes’” etc when it’s really that people are in fact smart enough to know they are bad faith neighbors. It is *entirely rational* not to trust them.
