i am much more concerned with falling behind the rest of the world in this than i am falling behind in chatbot technology
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

"need is not the same as like" is such a great line
need in fact often breeds resentment, because most people don't like needing someone's help at the more they need it the less they like it

![Personal life
Vinladen is named after Osama bin Laden; "v" is pronounced "b" in Spanish. His brother, Sadam Huseín, is named after dictator of Iraq Saddam Hussein. His father had considered naming his third son George Bush after U.S. president George W. Bush, but this child turned out to be a girl and the idea was dropped.[3]
Vinladen told the Peruvian press: "My friends used to make fun of me and at the beginning it bothered me. But you learn to live with it and I feel normal now." He always wondered why his parents gave him such a controversial name but never received an explanation from them: "I asked my dad the reason, but he always avoids talking about it."[4] In a radio interview in 2020, he made the following connection: "When Osama bin Laden knocked down the Twin Towers, the name was in the news and I was born (a year later) on October 7, 2002." He added that his father liked the name. He also stated that he had often thought about changing his name but had not done so because he had come to accept it. To avoid criticism, only his first name "Osama" appears on his jersey.[5]
During another interview, a journalist asked him if it was dishonourable to bear the name of someone as bad as bin Laden or not, to which he responded: "I do not believe my name to be problematic", citing Peruvian politician Hitler Guesclin Alba Sánchez, who won a mayoral election over the ironically-named Vladimir Lenin Rodríguez Valverde in 2018 and made headlines in the process, and Brazilian footballer Marx Lenin as other figures with similarly controversial names.[3]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreibyv4ij67bwyvr6svxama5yp347oadsth2ynwlqgwvmthyzm66f7u)

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Its not a gaffe. It's back to back, clear as day Nazi salutes.
And how does this not make sense? Did we not just watch the campaign Trump ran? Have we all not seen the antisemitism in MAGA?
Feels like this is all we should be talking about tomorrow.

If California stopped letting Washington DC take $86,000,000,000 a year that we don’t get back, we could fund a lot of projects to improve the lives of our people.
Universal healthcare, great schools, funded accessible universities and colleges, public health programs, a Cal national park system, etc
