An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections. If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE
Could This Actually End Citizens United?
Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United.No Supreme Court ruling or constituti

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.
No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books
If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

In that half-awake morning sleep I dreamed there was an As Seen On TV CD that you could buy in the 90s that was just the ambient sounds of a dentist’s office. There would be faint muzak and the occasional high pitched drill. $19.95, order now.
This is the worst I’ve seen it here. There is a whitish haze outside and everything smells like a wood fire.
You know what doesn't cause apocalyptic skylines and wildfires? Solar panels. Can we stop burning fossil fuels and just start massively investing more in renewables and battery tech, please?
Solar's sharp rise continues. As of April 2026, global solar capacity now exceeds 3 terawatt. 1 gigawatt → 1 terawatt: 20+ years 1 terawatt → 2 terawatt: 33 months 2 terawatt → 3 terawatt: 19 months
The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃
Larry Ellison's Oracle just sued Wisconsin for trying to protect utility ratepayers from data center-driven price hikes. Don't forget that Ellison is a huge Trump suck-up — and one of the architects of his deregulatory AI policy. Trump is selling out his own voters to Big Tech.

If a FIFA team doesn’t get enough money for a new stadium, the owner moves it to a new country.
Might be a non-obvious take: over the next few years every big durable electric appliance is going to include an integrated battery. I’ve already heard of A/C units, stoves, and refrigerators doing this.
TikTok dances: out. The Youth are doing David Byrne dances now.

Was out weeding and kept seeing bees all over. I thought about that tweet of paying the bees directly for their honey. I am in the mood to make a deal, guys.
