one of the extremely annoying things of this era in America is all the AI companies pretending their products are the next exponential growth market, when solar is right there
Solar's sharp rise continues.
As of April 2026, global solar capacity now exceeds 3 terawatt.
1 gigawatt → 1 terawatt: 20+ years
1 terawatt → 2 terawatt: 33 months
2 terawatt → 3 terawatt: 19 months

it's so funny that one of things the german national team is blaming their bad world cup on is that they had such a great time in chicago it made their actual basecamp in winston-salem seem deadly boring and depressing in comparison

My favorite iteration was Seinfeld saying this about Seinfeld at the same time Veep and Curb were on the air
Every so often, some washed up sitcom dude do this sort of thing where they pretend that they made some truly edgy and controversial comedy that couldn't be made today, and it's just like... you're saying this about THE OFFICE?

Staggering how good this episode was.
Today's episode of Widow's Bay is the best pastiche of the A24 horror house style I've ever seen. This show is already so good that it can sideline the two main characters/stars for an entire episode and it's like sure, no problem. Comedies like this do not come along often.

this map is insane, but also I would LOVE to see like a dozen more of these from increasingly unhinged bskyers
It has also come to my attention that the source of this bullshit was Colin Woodard, the moderator who announced Mills was "backing out" on Facebook. Woodard is the man responsible for this atrocity

There’s a big assumption that Newsom and Rahm need to be taken seriously because they will automatically carry California and Illinois in the primaries, and that’s simply not true

We're going to face almost every other part of the economy buckling under the weight of losing vital components.
It's approaching the point where people won't be able to buy cars and appliances because manufacturers siphoned all excess NAND flash and DRAM production to "AI" companies.
