@ManOfKent15 It's not a factory since it's not generating solar. It's more like a farm since it's harvesting solar.

Calling solar farms ‘farms’ is a deliberate misuse of our language to make them seem more acceptable.
They should be called solar industrial plants or solar factories.

@AlHendiify The same politicians who oppose new housing also oppose making business formation easier. Making permitting easier, allowing smaller store sizes, and removing parking requirements can all go into reducing costs and increasing competition.
English
I’m going say this til I die: business landlords are a principal reason things in your city are unaffordable, why businesses want you in and out of the door, why wages are so low, jobs are so understaffed, and why small businesses aren’t multi generational.

@hecubian_devil That might be cathartic but does that actually make it easier to make material improvements in society?

Something Dems/libs need to start doing (which the left and the right both do) is go out and ascribe nasty motives to the enemy—explain their moral worldview in your own terms. It’s incredibly effective, and helps define your own morality as negation

@r1ndie Dune is going to sell lots of tickets regardless if the theater is imax or not. It's small romcoms and stuff that are not doing well in theaters, which don't have imax versions.
English
“Theaters are dying!!!” and it’s certainly not helped by trapping true imax aspect ratios to select theaters

Besides her being a child at the time and clearly not being a racist, like what do you want to do impeach her as Mamdani’s wife? Is there a vice wife who will take over

@nabeelqu .docx is a better, more open format than the .doc that came before

Amusing how much the knowledge economy is being held back right now because we settled on crappy legacy formats like .ppt, .xls, .pdf, .docx and so on

@kmixbye Ebooks are usually cheaper. Printing has gotten fairly expensive today. But when you buy digitally the author gets more of the total money which is nice for them.

@aziz0nomics Higher oil prices and easing sanctions will probably cancel out any advantage

@nikicaga Due to harsh segregation they have for a while represented Black people in a way that isn't true for more diffused races

The CBC pretending they're the only legitimate representatives of Black Americans is pretty bad ngl
I feel the other minority caucuses aren't nearly as controlling

Politico: The Congressional Black Caucus is frustrated that Governor JB Pritzker tilted the Illinois Democratic Senate primary in Juliana Stratton’s favor over Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL) “As Pritzker eyes a potential 2028 presidential bid, some members signaled they won’t forget he crossed them.”

@tobinjstone An alternative is we just create a limited supply of ski passes that one can purchase on the black market but otherwise gives one the privilege of skiing and this pass can be inherited.
English
no one wants to hear this, but the best way to address the dual problems of high ticket prices and overcrowding at ski resorts would just be to make it easier to open up new ski resorts across America

@GardeningAdam They need to think deeper about Rock as a type. Could Lead paint be an attack? Uranium is a kind of rock. Lava is half-rock.
English
We really do need more special attacking Rock-type moves 😭
But I also get that it's tricky
Because how do you do an attack involving rocks
That is not physically hitting something with rocks
Surely there is something they could do though...

We had the power to block his nomination. Fetterman allowed it to happen. He must be primaried. He is no Democrat.

I want to talk more about this, but the goal for quantity over quality is not the right approach.
Let's say you could generate a novel a day using a language model. That's way more than you could read, much less your target audience.

Every creative person I know that has embraced AI as a tool for their art has produced more content this month than all of last year. A true creative individual sees AI and feels completely empowered. They feel like the entire world has opened up to them. But a lot of self professed creative people, who have been grifting as creatives for decades, are about to be exposed as frauds who and pretenders who only know how to work within the politics of the current system. They will sit down before the greatest tool for creativity the world has ever known and not have a single idea how to use it or what story to tell. Pay attention to what is happening and who rejects the gift, and who embraces it.

It would be great if we had a teenager Internet where all your dumb posts were automatically deleted once you were ready to graduate to the public.

Despite thinking she’s a psychopath, I’m not remotely in favour of digging up Mamdani’s wife’s social media posts from when she was a teenager. That being said, the same type of people who are decrying this overreach had absolutely no problem with the media attempting to destroy a teenage boy’s life for ‘smirking’ at a man who was banging a drum in his face. Thus the outrage all seems rather hypocritical to me.
