During California's heat wave peak usage ended up being 2.5GW less than what was forecasted yesterday. How much did #FlexAlert & cooler weather along the coast help? Grid-scale renewables provided a solid > 14GW of electricity during the daytime. Graphs from @California_ISO

This is what happens when blind gross receipt tax fetishism goes too far.

Traffic engineers love to make appeals to authority for why we should listen to them, but they really discredit their cause when they spout lies like arguing more highway infrastructure will be good for the environment.

@dmtrubman @tiredgenerally They've recently pivoted smoothly from "YIMBYs think upzoning will solve everything" to "YIMBYs suck because only 60% of them support public housing". No matter how much we try to build left-unity, they'll just keep dunking on us. It's super toxic, and a sign of bad faith.

This is such a painfully bad take.
Do I have "unquestioning trust in law enforcement and the FBI"? No.
TRUMP HAS NEVER DENIED HAVING THE DOCUMENTS IN QUESTION.
His only excuses have been variations on "law, schmaw, I do what I fucking want, and that's allowed"
