Poland is often seen as Europe's coal stronghold. In 2000, coal generated 94% of its electricity. But something remarkable is happening: Coal's share has fallen to 50%. Wind+solar, non-existent 15yrs ago, now generate 1/4 of electricity. More in my newsletter. Sign up here: janrosenow.substack.com

Kai was an absolute icon in a game that has meant everything to me

Brian Kibler@bmkibler.bsky.social

Kai was indisputably one of the greatest Magic competitors ever, but he was also one of the greatest sports and community members. Despite his outrageous success, he was always kind, welcoming, and humble, open to talking to pretty much anyone about Magic.

We are deeply saddened at the news of the passing of Magic legend Kai Budde. His achievements in the game and community go beyond what we could say in one post. Our thoughts go out to Kai's friends and family in this moment. Remembering Kai Budde: magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

hey @jaketapper.bsky.social put me on tv so I can tell this eugenicist piece of shit that i don't care for the way he wishes my formula-drinking kids had died

RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

If you are so upset, challenge Schumer for leadership now

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

In addition to the poor going hungry Trump finds another way to hurt farmers. SNAP could help people get real food but many will now be on dry rice/beans/pasta until this is over.

Mamdani's response to Cuomo's claims that he's too inexperienced to be NYC mayor: "What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what you don't have in integrity, you could never make up for in experience."

I love bling in my #mtgcube I am not going to add any of these, they look terrible with the text. If I want a cheap clip art proxy I wont buy $800 CBB

Rachel Weeks@wachelreeks.com

I can't be the only nitpicky graphic designer who just hates the way they handle text on these cards, right? It's so hard to read. It's so unintentional. It's over the guy in green's face? It's rubbing up against the cloud line? Sheesh.

Pardon my economist technical parlance, but what the fuck does “issuing its statistics on the blockchain” even mean? This data is already publicly available, thanks to this super fancy piece of technology called “an API” These people are complete idiots

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Lutnick: "The Department of Commerce is going to start issuing its statistics on the blockchain, because you are the crypto president."

Current least favorite feature of the the anti-trump crowd. As soon as anyone stands up to Trump everyone has to talk about how 'insert democrat' fails some purity test before they can get around to applauding the attempt at resistance. No wonder so many democrats at too weak to stand up.

Even right wing hard cases get it. Next democratic government ( if it ever happens) needs to use this as a push for DC statehood. Supreme court will justify the takeover on narrow non state nonsense.

Bill Kristol@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social

There’s no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC — send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nation’s capital when he wants to.

The next step is make PR a state as well. And move any remaining territories under the protection of closest state. Make it so every american can vote for senators and the president. If the dont want to be called a state, fine, give them voting rights, and representation anyway.

Bah. Demanding people read half-century-old work as a purity test for genre membership is a fine way to kill the genre dead. I wrote about such nonsense here; whatever.scalzi.com/2020/08/07/o...
