I worked in solar for 6 years. I drafted hundreds of PV permits. I worked on software for thousands more.
The US badly needs permitting reform — to fast-track clean energy on rooftops, parking lots, & farms.
Trump’s bill does not do that. It is for data centers on public land.
From Chaco Canyon to the Boundary Waters, from the Arctic Refuge to landmarks in Washington DC, BAAJA would make the Trump administration’s drilling, mining and development approvals nearly impossible to undo.

Animal farming is the greatest driver of food insecurity in the world.
Don’t make me tap the sign.
Transport accounts for ~4.8% of total food system emissions.
Locally sourced meat causes more environmental damage than pretty much any plant-based food from anywhere in the world.
This asshole dragged the shark out of the ocean for this video. 45% of blacktips caught and released on a beach die within 5 hours (Binstock 2023).
so fucking sick of shark fishing videos being framed as rescues by content scraping accounts
The dairy industry has tried to blame wild birds for spreading bird flu between their facilities.
It turns out they are the ones spreading it, by shipping cows to feedlots and slaughterhouses.
“Cattle movement consistently explained interstate viral spread more strongly than geographic proximity”
— Discussion, p. 18
“we found no evidence that wild birds contributed to the geographic spread of B3.13 among dairy cattle.”
— Discussion, p. 18
“each week of delay in policy implementation was associated with an additional median 11–12 infected counties per week”
— Counterfactual simulations, PDF p. 16
“Real-time effluent or wastewater monitoring could reduce detection times further still, potentially to days rather than weeks or months.”
— Discussion, p. 20.
I must confess that despite being happy for my country, I am profoundly sad for Florida.
I despair for its working class and wildlife.
I don’t think we will win in a general.
Only one thing can begin to make this right:
Remove Chuck Schumer from power.

Crossover votes (GOP->DEM) are dwarfed by activated non-voters in the last cycle.
The job of pundits like Klein and Yglesias is to convince you the key to winning is courting conservatives — the tiny red sliver feeding the blue bar.
It is actually the massive grey pipe.
That’s a gator, not a croc. This is Florida’s “SNAP” program, which pays psychopaths to kill gators & sell their skin when property owners complain.
The program is run by FL Wildlife Commission. Yesterday was our chance to get a new gov. & fire them all.
4 more years of this.
Amerikalı bir avcı tarafından yakalanmaya çalışılan bir timsah, tek hamlesiyle avcıyı yere serdi.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Videodaki kişi bir avcı değil Florida'daki yaban hayatı yetkililerinin görevlendirdiği bir trapper'dir. Timsah yerleşim alanına girdiği için yakalanıp güvenli bir yere taşınmak üzere hazırlanmıştır.

It’s not the Latinos.
It’s the old people.
reminder that there is no credible theory linking brain size or morphology to cognitive capacity and every attempt to identify a neurological distinction setting humankind apart from other animals has been thoroughly dashed
Carrion crows make decisions faster than monkeys and humans.

highly recommend The Arrogant Ape by anthropologist Christine Webb to anyone interested in the long scientific history of the rises and falls of human supremacy theories

Sorry, but this headline is bullshit.
He hooked the gull. He got snagged by his own fishing lure and drowned.
The idea that sabotage consists of violence is ridiculous on its face.
Under the law, criminal damage to property is a categorically nonviolent crime.
Only in media is property damage characterized as violence. This is transparent political propaganda. It is a desperate smear.
You know how Brazil reversed deforestation.
It wasn’t a bunch of conservation tax incentives for farmers.
IBAMA (Brazil’s equivalent of the EPA) airdrops shock troops to firebomb illegal logging and mining camps.
