People didn't know that at the time. Much more was known later.

I'm in WMass and my small town does coordinate with the local solar farms and sign up for discount energy rates for residents - we are benefiting from it.

The "faithless elector" theory? It got a lot of traction in late 2016 and was pushed by Laurence Lessig. Stories about it did not fill the paper the same way, but I remember it because it was so far-fetched.

Nate Silver and Noah Smith wouldn't know what the "play" was if there was one, ffs do not talk about what they're saying like it's an actual thing.

No, I meant the "faithless elector" theory some people were mentioning in 2016, which was a weird stretch of constitutional interpretation whereby Trump's electors could choose someone else. It was totally impossible but the media would mention it once in a while like it was plausible.

Are you sure they didn't? There was the "faithless elector" idea later, which was more extreme but not aimed at the RNC.

When people were migrating away from Twitter, I remember this guy having a freakout and saying that Mastodon is a Russian op created by a Russian. (The creator of Mastodon is a German, and Mastodon has issues but is absolutely not a Russian op).

Some of the "Web 3" evangelists on twitter would talk about how the blockchain would make the future web cool and it would end up sounding like Geocities + webrings, except that you have to pay up for some blockchain thingy first.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

I guess I can't prove it's the very worst as I haven't seen those, but someone wrote it with a thesaurus glued to one hand and it sort of needs to be seen, at least for a few paragraphs: ansible.uk/misc/eyeargo...

She could have used difgerent wording, but Schiff's strategy was irresponsible and could hurt down-ballot races by increasing R turnout.

That people are still nursing this grievance is kinda wild, and I'm saying this as someone who nurses grievances for a very long time.

Threat of severe weather in New England today. Based on how cool it was yesterday and how warm and humid it is now today feels like tornado weather. So remember a Tornado Watch means there’s the possibility of a tornado. A tornado warning means there IS A TORNADO.
