Professional software guy, used to be a Sydneysider, but now exiled to London. I used to write special effects software. Teaches historical sword play and paraglides when he can. #HEMA #paragliding

Dan GillmorAs usual, Talking Points Memo understands what's happening earlier than Big Journalism -- in this case the Trump regime's actual goal in its attack on LA.
What's happening is a coup, an extreme right-wing overthrow of the elected state and local governments.
Sir Rochard 'Dock' BunsonPadilla's assault & handcuffing is getting all the attention, but what Noem said is perhaps more terrifying.
"We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

Randahl FinkBreaking:
US Senator Alex Padilla, California, stands up at a press conference in LA, identifies himself, and ASKS A QUESTION of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, whereupon multiple armed agents immediately grab him, throw him to the ground, handcuff him, and drag him away.

Highly recommend this Construction Physics blog post on the viability of solar power as the backbone of an electricity system.
Seriously, read it -- most people, even energy-literate people, have not kept up on this subject. Things have changed *so* fast, all your old cliches are outdated.
