TIL that you can buy a plug-in device to produce solar energy for your home. They’re currently for sale from the manufacturer at cost.
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 7d agoNot sure if everyone appreciates the difference. Rooftop solar hardwires into your main panel via a dedicated breaker, so it requires a permit, an installer, an electrician, and a utility agreement. Balcony solar just plugs into a wall outlet, sharing an existing circuit with no permits or rewiring.
The person who beat her didn't take any money from AIPAC. So what is the lesson here? It's not about AIPAC or money in politics. It's about using antisemitism to infiltrate and destroy the Democratic Party.
Alas. When the Sox set the record in 1946, my dad was rooting hard for his heroes, Williams, DiMaggio, Pesky, and Doerr. @redsox.com
🧵 Suggesting that Mayor Mamdani's positions on Israeli government actions stem from a deep-seated hatred of Jews is unfounded, inflammatory, and divisive. 1/3
Hahaha, bottom of the 8th, #RedSox lead the Orioles 6-3, and the crowd is chanting “Yankees Suck!"
Who’da thunk it? #redsox
Peter Abraham@peteabeglobe.bsky.social · 3w ago#RedSox 6, #Orioles 5, final The streak hits 14, one shy of the team record set in 1946 by Ted Williams and Co. Sox (51-48) have won 19 of 21 and 22 of 27. It's the longest AL win streak since the Mariners (14) in 2022. Orioles leave runners on 2nd and 3rd to end it as O'Neill lines to SS.

Lemony White Bean Soup With Turkey and Greens Recipe • 5★
Bright with lemon and herbs, and packed with hearty greens, this highly adaptable soup can be either light and brothy or thick and stewlike, depending on your preference. Smashing some of the beans to release their starch will give you a thicker soup that’s almost worthy of a fork.

When was Independence Day renamed “the fourth of July”? I hate it.

How can this be, but with the PNW being so "blue"?! Just because Oregon was founded as a whites-only state, and WA wasn't much different. I grew up there. Can attest to the PNW's racism. 1/ www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2026/06/anti...

#StandUpToJewishHate How hatred of Jews has always morphed into terrorism, violence and death for Jewish people. This is a story about, a potent mix of militant integral nationalism, populist scapegoating, and the chaotic power vacuum created by the German invasion of the Soviet Union.
Herbert Lehman was born into one of America's wealthiest Jewish families. He could have spent his life in comfort. Instead, he devoted decades to public service, helped NY through the Great Depression, aided millions after WW2, and became known as the conscience of the Senate. #EternalLight 1/10
Why is hate sppech on this site gently labeled as “intolerance” instead of being banned?
Yes, evil. To be clear, I don't think the US is on the brink of the use of camps on trans folks today. The dynamic usually goes "What group can I target to frighten and enrage the public by presenting it as dangerous?" If malicious pols see those attacks as effective, they escalate over time. [1/3]
Adam Gurri@adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com · 3mo agoIncredibly evil. Was at an event with @andreapitzer.bsky.social last week and she mentioned how the campaign against trans people has all the hallmarks of a group targeted for eventual detention in camps. And Texas is in many ways where the worst of it started, with Abbott wielding DFPS against them
