IMPORTANT - North Carolina removed 747,000 voters from the voter rolls, either because they had new addresses or because they had not voted in last 2 elections

If you live in NC, CHECK YOUR STATUS right now

There is still time to re-register so you can vote in this election

"Trump had a number of reasons to melt down today.

Special counsel Jack Smith filed with U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan his detailed report on the evidence he will use to prove that Trump broke the law when he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Trump lawyers tried unsuccessfully to put this filing date off until after the election."

A new report found that the for-profit US healthcare system ranks last among peer nations.

We spend twice as much per capita on healthcare and have the worst health outcomes.

Reminder that Medicare For All would save $450B in health care costs and 68,000 lives per year.

The point of solar panels is not to ensure "solar profitability," but to make for a greener, better world. Its profitability is only justified insofar as it moves us towards that goal. If we want to switch to renewables, then sometimes we're going to have surplus, because of how renewables work. This is well known and discussed ad nauseam. If that makes power markets unstable, then the problem is with markets, not with there being too many solar panels.

Here's a brilliant neologism: "slop", for text generated entirely by LLMs and published, unwanted, on the Internet

An Oil Price-Fixing Conspiracy Caused 27% of All Inflation Increases in 2021

The FTC just found evidence that American oil companies colluded with the Saudi government to hike gas prices, costing the average family $3,000 last year. The question is, what can we do about it?

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for examples of what I'd refer to as "progressive tutorials". Coding or other tech-related tutorials that introduce progressive ideas and themes, without being overtly political.
