If my math is right, the crime rate for pardoned insurrectionists is roughly three times higher than that of immigrants.

I tried to donate a car to Habitat for Humanity but they've outsourced their donation program to a 3rd-party, that sells to an auction house that then sells to used car dealers. Habitat gets little or nothing which defeats the entire purpose of donating to them. Enshittification of everything.

Driver just now in Ireland asked me how it was to be an American, and I went off as you might expect. I said something along the lines of “sorry about all this,” and he was like nah, the kind of Americans I don’t like never leave your country.

The cost of Solar panels and batteries has come down massively over the last 2-4 years. We should have these systems everywhere! Oil is a necessary evil, for now. But we need to rapidly move to renewables everywhere.

Let's prioritize installing solar panels on structures like car parks and building rooftops instead of agricultural land, as this approach embodies sustainable development.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a guy is running upstairs in a house, looking somewhat panicked. Panel 2: he opens the bedroom door. With a blank expression, he pauses. In his thought bubble, gears are turning. Panel 3: inquisitively, he thinks to himself, “why did I come upstairs again?” Behind him, crawling up the stairs in pursuit is a horrifying ghoulish monster with a long body and many legs.

Hassett: "The thing I've seen is that while people have been spending more money at gas stations, they've been spending more money on everything else, which means they're still very very optimistic about the state of the economy." So that's how we describe inflation now, huh?

Ohio gave Meta, Google, and Amazon a sales tax break for data centers. It was supposed to cost $136 million in 2025. It cost $1.6 billion. Gov. DeWine vetoed the legislature's attempt to end it, insisting the tax exemption is needed to lure data center developers. signalohio.org/ohio-data-ce...

Ohio data center tax break cost $1 billion more than expected in 2025 - Signal Ohio
Ohio’s biggest tax break for data centers is more expensive than once thought. A lot more expensive.
