With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

@octranspo.com Saw someone take a spill and hurt their knee at Bayview station - whose idea was it to use concrete that becomes as slippery as ice when there's the slightest amount of water on it? The station is open to the elements, and the floor is dangerous to walk on anytime there's weather.

Here's a funny thing about the right to vote: it wasn't won by voting.

Two suffragists in period dress, ceremonially putting ballots into a ballot box. The background has been replaced with an elaborate collage of 19th C printing-press parts. The ballots are glowing with radiant spikes. The face of the ballot box has been replaced with an Nvidia Vera Lynn GPU.

South Korea's UBI pilot shows major success 1 year. Local businesses grew by 2,000 and rural population went up 4.7%. Most of the money was spent, causing "an increase in new businesses in essential services such as restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, and hair and beauty salons."

Article reporting rural basic income increased local businesses including restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and salons.

The 2-axis political alignment chart is pretty much useless since there's only 1 real "dimension" to politics Nobody's in the "socially liberal, economically conservative" corner The two dimensions are "government should help everyone" vs "government should lift people like me above everyone else"

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.”

houstonchronicle.com

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.

What's your "origin" video game? Space Quest (1986) for our Tandy 1000SX. The humor, the light sci-fi/adventure story, the problem solving - it was custom made for me. I played the whole series, as well as a bunch of the other Sierra games after that. But the SQ games were always my favorites.
