There is no need to go through the stupidest ritual of modern life next weekend. More daylight is coming this month without the foolishness of changing our clocks. @SaveStandard Time!

[AccuWeather @accuweather]

Brighter days ahead! ☀️ Northern areas, including Seattle, gain over 100 minutes of daylight in March!

While daylight saving time begins on March 8, the month's biggest change is the rapid increase in daylight. https://t.co/vV81UidljY

Permanent Daylight Saving Time is worse than clock switching! Dr Karin Johnson speaks with Andy Mac on “LiveNOW from Fox” about the need for permanent Standard Time. https://t.co/8Ee8tm2VAY

Very disappointed with @Uber whilst traveling in Scandinavia & the Baltics. None of our 6 normal payment methods would work for any member of my family, and ultimately had to give up and book via a newly-downloaded eastern European competitor.

Great @NatlHydroAssoc newsletter article about my favorite new small hydroelectric plant on the Kentucky River! @KleinschmidtGrp is a great partner on thse projects.

That settles it, we need a law to quit changing the clocks. Actually we just need to repeal the law that began this nonsense.

[Jonathan Moore @JMooreofKY]

It is about time we rid ourselves of the clock-changing madness. Dumb to lie to ourselves about what time it actually is. @SaveStandard time!

[WKYT @WKYT]

Kentucky lawmakers have filed a bill to exempt the state from daylight saving time ⬇️ https://t.co/uUC8qAsP6L

I hope you enjoyed your Stationary Jetlag day!

@treswatson @FCPSKY In 2025, this seemed like directionally true hyperbole. This year it was almost literally true!

"...a little..." (storage) is doing FAR too much work in that tweet.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

But nuclear?!

Solar is nuclear, dummy.

Just happens to be far-field nuclear: Cheap, abundant, simple and quick to turn on and when you combine it with a little storage, it’s always-on.

[Jonathan Moore @JMooreofKY]

If possible and true, this is some very good news.

[Joshua | Building Trains 🚆 @JoshuaKDominic]

We found a way to expand passenger rail across America without laying a single track.

Dreamstar Lines uses underutilized freight capacity to run passenger trains across thousands of miles of existing rail infrastructure

We’ve secured a memorandum of understanding with Union Pacific to operate on the LA -> SF corridor one of the highest-demand rail routes in the country, with plans for this route to launch service on the eve of the 2028 Olympics.

This is just the beginning. We plan to expand these partnerships across the most important corridors in America. In just a decade, Americans will have a well deserved alternative to flying or driving in the medium distance. Once and for all we will Make Trains Great Again.

Will vote for any presidential candidate who promises to deliver the State of the Union only in writing.

[Save Standard Time @SaveStandard]

Enjoying brighter mornings? Too bad. Daylight Saving Time is creeping!

[Save Standard Time @SaveStandard]

Kentucky has a bill to ditch Daylight Saving Time! Tell your KY state lawmakers to sponsor HB 368: https://t.co/JpGw05FBG5

“Evening types experience reduced sleep and misaligned timing for weeks after [spring forward], due to diminished morning light and excessive evening light.”

RIP to my favorite Presidents Day fun fact.

John Tyler, our 10th president, had a grandson alive until last May.

John had a son while in his 60s.
That son had a kid while in his 70s.
And that kid, Harrison Tyler, passed away last year at age 96.

So… New fun fact:
John was born during Washington administration. So 3 generations of Tylers span EVERY PRESIDENCY IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

@mattshumer_ @grok please offer a point-by-point fact check of the claims made in this article and summarize the truthfulness, any blatantly incorrect information, and whether the assertions and recommendations are reasonable.

Canadian "bacon" is an affront to the divine order.

[Burt Macklin @BurtMaclin_FBI]

I’m not the least bit surprised that a country that tries to pass off ham circles as “bacon” would try to cheat in the Winter Olympics. All of you who wanted them to be the 51st state should be ashamed of yourselves.

[Jonathan Moore @JMooreofKY]

@SahilBloom My adult daughter laughs as she recalls my insisting we organize cavalry charges between her factions of My Little Pony's instead of combing and braiding their hair.

Child play can be fun. And give adult children things to talk about in therapy.

Best line of any post this year: "Snow and rain continue to develop and push across Kentucky as Old Man Winter keeps kicking us when we’re down."
