@ConEdison (2/2) How is it that that power demand is so unpredictable that other sources of power cannot be brought online as they are needed? The steady increase in temperatures is well - documented, as are the correlations of that with peak demand. #BlackoutJuly3_2026
@ConEdison (1/2) When making the decision to shed load during power consumption spikes, what factors are considered? Why does it always seem to be the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island whose loads get shed? #BlackoutJuly3_2026
TSA froze the security line at LGA today - not moving for forty minutes. 100s missed their flights. Mine still hadn’t taken off when I got to the gate, but AAL cares more about their on-time stats than the humans on the planes - they had closed the gate 10 mins early. Thanks!!
@RpsAgainstTrump Trump's Rules of Capitalization?
These things are capitalized for emphasis:
- "Election Interference"
- "Rigged and Stolen"
- "Massive and Conclusive Proof"
- "Justice"
- "Biden in Office"
One exception - not capitalized:
- "dishonest and broken"
How does he choose?
@FortniteStatus I have had trouble ever since last week when the new version launched. I try to launch and it fails (without any useful error message) and drops me back in Epic Launcher.
I got it working after that happened twice now, but now I can't get in again.
@soledadobrien I am an Anderson Cooper fan, but his defense of handing the reins over to DT for an hour of free-flowing propaganda is, at best, unconvincing. It is as if he's asserting that TV news is the only place we might encounter people with opinions that differ from ours.
@pinkheretic This is complicated by the fact that observation is mediated by a brain whose focus is determined by biases and expectations based on prior experience. Observation is by no means error-free.
However, it does beat the hell out of social loyalty as a way of finding the truth.
@jackshafer@politico Nonsense. CNN did not "cover" Trump. They gave him an hour of free air time. Propaganda like his works through repetition over time, and we should at least make him earn or pay for the time like any other politician. CNN got gamed.
@Acyn I disagree. We all can, and do, meet real people in real life to discuss differing ideas with. This is not about ideas. This is free nationwide amplification of propaganda. That "town hall" came right on the heels of DT being found liable for sexual assault.
