Texas is subsidizing $10 billion worth of new fossil fuel plants, citing new demand caused by climate change and population growth.
But in reality, much of the new demand is coming from supercomputers for AI and crypto.
Guess where the new plants will be placed:

Yeah that would help. Unless you pack really Light, I’d do some planning, people watching, and eat an airport breakfast while waiting for your husband (assuming no delays etc). Or you could cab to a a museum that has a bag check!

I did not appreciate Bruce Cockburn enough as a kid but this is how you write an anti-war song. I've had constant recurring thoughts just like this throughout the past 9 months. Gaza is our Vietnam.

The US-built floating pier keeps detaching and will be shut down earlier than planned Meanwhile the aid isn't getting to the Gazans because starving then is an Israeli strategy. We've thrown money at what is primarily a political, not a resource, problem

There was lead in EVERY tampon they tested.
There was less lead in organic tampons, but those had higher concentrations of arsenic.
Also fun: It's 2024. This is the first ever study testing metals in tampons. Great. 🙃
