I still have never listened to a podcast and plan to keep it that way in perpetuity.

Age Ver
This sucks for a lot of reasons I’ve already talked about, but it’s actually pretty bad to deprive teenagers of listening to music playing a video game, or watching a movie that’s “too old for them”. It’s a character building moment. Helps you not be baby brained forever https://t.co/p7Rnux3tDi

True. I started reading adult books when I was around seven years old. And that was a very good thing. I’d already outgrown all the books I’d be allowed to read under age verification laws. If I’d had to wait till age 18 to do anything “age appropriate,” I would’ve been much worse off and vastly dumber.

The right’s hatred of solar and wind power is deeply stupid and it makes no sense at all. There’s a reason China is installing more of these power types than anything else.
As of 2024:
- China installed over 217 gigawatts of solar just in that year, which is more than the entire cumulative U.S. total in its entire history.
- The United States has around 160 GW of total installed solar capacity, ever.
China has over 600 GW of solar now, while we’re still crawling with less than a third of that. And slowing down due to utter fucking moron MAGA clowns.
Solar and wind are now super-cheap, efficient, and far cleaner than fossil fuels. Despite a lot of you living in the late 1970s, they’re not some hippie pipe dream. Nope, it’s hard economic pragmatism. Even authoritarian regimes know renewables are the way to go and in fact are the future.
Get out of 1979, idiots.

Solar has real land-use considerations but this graphic does a good job of contextualizing that demand compared to what we devote to ethanol, which is good for farmers' bottom line but does not at all accomplish its climate raison d'être. pic.twitter.com/jkqA7dGVay

This always makes me laugh when doofclown dipshits say things like, “But solar uses sooo much landddddddd!”
Compared to the worse-in-every-way ethanol, nope. And we’re already wasting land on that. And another difference is that solar is actually good.
Time Machine
Love it when people assign stuff to my team with due dates in the past.
Nothing like being set up for total success!
Low Tol
It’s the disorder for me, too. I just have no tolerance for it anymore. I go into the city at least once a week and I always see some yahoo doing something ridiculous and I think to myself every time that I’m glad I don’t live here, anymore.
I like access to sandwiches and… https://t.co/wTnjGYYGnl

I too have far less tolerance for that kinda shit than I used to.
The idiot liberal idea that wild-eyed vagrants can have a little assault as a treat is so fucking insane. And #MeToo went right out the window when it was the so-called unhoused perpetrating sex crimes, didn’t it?
Even apart from any political considerations, I despise hypocrites.
When Women Are Radicalized. Men aren’t the only ones susceptible to extremist thinking. And it causes women to go just as nuts.
Why Are Americans So Scared of Talking to Each Other?
CEOs Are Shrinking Their Workforces—and They Couldn’t Be Prouder.
It’s not as simple as ‘housing got more expensive’; the ratios between prices have completely altered in a way that makes the economics of a modern young household utterly incomprehensible to retired homeowners. True in all the Anglosphere, by the way. Also, Boomers are fucking idiots.
