Oh my.

"'We definitely started with the first phone call, the call to Secretary Raffensperger that was so publicized,' said [the Fulton Countty Grand Jury foreperson]... Asked whether the jurors had recommended indicting Mr. Trump, Ms. Kohrs gave a cryptic answer: 'You’re not going to be shocked. It’s not rocket science,' adding 'you won’t be too surprised.'”

Jury in Georgia Trump Inquiry Recommended Multiple Indictments, Forewoman Says

She would not discuss specific indictments in the special grand jury’s report but noted that its recommendations were “not going to be some giant plot twist.”

The New York Times

Right now, the entire country of Denmark is using 4245MW of electricity.

Windmills are producing: 3442 MW
Solar is producing: 746 MW

So if we do the math, wind + solar = 98.7% of our energy use right now is 100% renewable

Just a reminder that not only can we fix climate change, we are fixing it.

This is a good day not to be on Twitter. Not seeing the flood of garbage people shitting on Fetterman that I’m sure are there.

Good for him for checking himself in and for being open. Openness on this saves lives. Silence and shame kill.

Just realized it's now been two months since I was locked out of Twitter for factual reporting. I could delete the (non-rule-breaking) tweet and go back but, to be honest, I just don't feel any real desire to. It's a social network built for one, and not a place where you can trust that real reporting won't be punished on a whim. Every tweet supports a place that's hostile to what we do. Why enable that?

Welcome back to a bunch of people who started accounts on Mastodon in November then slunk back to Twitter hoping things wouldn't get worse.

Take my advice and just stay here next time! Uninstall the Twitter mobile app and install either Tusky (android) or Ivory (iOS) and start following people here. You won't need to go back!

I won't lie and say the transition is *painless*... it takes like... 72 hours and some clicking to get set up and used to it?

Watching all the folks who signed up for Mastodon accounts, and then ran back to Twitter suddenly showing up here again to talk about how Twitter is down. 😂

Those pushing Ukraine for peace talks with russia, take a look at this photo. It is Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. In 1999, it was erased by russians, three years after russia signed peace treaty with Chechnya. Russia took a break only to come back and destroy the country.
