Today, the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing Suncor v. Boulder — a case that could decide whether communities can put Big Oil companies on trial for deceiving the public about the climate harms of fossil fuels. We're in front of the Court to send a message: Stand with communities, not Big Oil.

One of the many horrific aspects that this case highlights is the toll that executions take on the staff who have to carry them out. I don’t care how cold you think your heart is, doing this shit will kill a part of your soul and it’s insane that your employer would put you in that situation.

Very cool. A program in NYC gave 2 kWh batteries to families in order to let them run the AC during peak demand and charging the battery at night when energy is cheap. I predict a time when it will be weird that houses didn't have batteries. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...
