It's only an existential crisis if it's from the existential region of the void. Otherwise it's just sparking panic.
And yes, in this fervid fever dream of a conspiracy Bannon is in on it. "Builds my brand AND I might lose a couple el-bee's haw haw haw."
Every day I become more convinced that Trump appointed Judge Nichols sentenced Bannon to four months just to give MAGA the martyr they desperately want since Merchan won't put Trump in jail.
I had to look up “the business plot” and was surprised to see smedley butler as a conspirator - I guess I thought the “war is a racket” guy was a good one.
It’s easy to summarize the American reactionary movement as people who never got over the 60s but a lot of them never got over the failure of the Business Plot
"Now he’s helping Donald J Trump. run for re-election as a fascist."
It will be interesting to see if Trump takes credit for this next year or if he's so anti-renewable that he orders it dismantled. Could go either way with that guy!
A record-setting 11.8 gigawatts (GW) of new solar panel manufacturing capacity came online in the U.S. during Q1 2024, making up 75% of all new electricity-generating capacity added to the U.S. grid in that period.

The US installed more solar in Q1 2024 than it did in all of 2018
In Q1 2024, the US saw the largest quarter of solar manufacturing growth in its history, bringing its total installed capacity to 200 GW.
electrek.coYes, the former president who appointed 1/3 of the supreme court is a political outsider, you've done it again, The Media. Good job.
Great time to own a DC barricade-rental concern.
SCOTUS says it may add a second opinion release day this Friday (in addition to its usual Thursday)
Another one of my favorite thing about Hit Man is that both lead characters are clearly mentally unstable but in an utterly charming way.
Charli XCX continues to make really interesting and cool music. that's the post.
I actually think Biden campaign should do a 'reclaim the flag in the name of democracy and freedom' initiative.
still mad over people saying we should bail on the stars-and-stripes flag because it's a hate symbol now; both dumb political move and incorrect smh
Hey what’s up with Palehound? “Eye on the Bat” just came on a playlist and it’s very much my thing.
No politician could "joke" that they don't care about their voters and it not be a shitstorm. Of all the things I hate about trump the particular double standard that he's allowed to say literally anything that would scupper ANY other politician is near that top.
The first thing it says on the AfD wiki page is that they are pro-Russia how can our govt have major contracts with a putinite scum?
They are currently ranking the Smiths catalog and I'm voting that every song is "essential" except for Golden LIghts, Girlfriend in a Coma, and Meat is Murder - the only bad songs in the catalog.
I know it's incredibly lame reason but the only reason I go back to twitter is to participate in the polls this music account posts daily.
Why is anyone still using Twitter for anything other than finding out what Nazis are posting
If I thought the colors would read/last I’d consider a jazz tattoo
France thought “the Olympics aren’t enough attention let’s do an election that month too”
Thinking of the Non-Zero number of people who came to LAs Vegas this weekend for the Dead & Company show at the Sphere and are sticking around to hear Trump speak. Out on the road today I saw a MAGA sticker on a Subaru.
Before the finale I thought Ava got really short shift this season as far as "arc" goes but I was very very wrong.
Finally watched Hacks finale. I thought they ended season two perfectly and when they announced this season I wasn't sure it was necessary but holy shit season three not only built off that perfection but twisted it back on itself.
Hit Man continues the trope that whatever the college professor is teaching that semester will also be the theme of the movie.
I can't read the article so I don't know why they think he'd be acquitted but I thought CW was that federal prosecutors don't bring cases they don't intend to convict.
Not worried trump will win California and I know my state has a deep history with right-wing extremism but I can’t get over all the MAGA-coded stuff everywhere in LA lately.
It's not that I don't realize it's a big deal but I can only worry about so many things at a time and I assure you I am all full up.
I lived in manhattan for almost a decade, many of my best friends - including my brother and his wife - live in the city and yet I simply do not care about congestion pricing as much as my bluesky feed expects me to.
I don't know how to quantify this but Hitman is the kind of movie idea that if you gave the logline to 50 different film makers you'd get 40 mediocre movies, one really good one and some extremely bad ones. Linklater and Powell nailed the really good one.
Just getting used to the fact that guys that look like this will be running this country for the rest of my life. Alas.
Left right and center opining now hunter Biden case will hurt Biden campaign and I’m chewing through my seat belt with frustration
