Just like a bad movie.

SNAP is supposed to help people during a time of need, not subsidize junk food that leads to chronic illness, like diabetes and obesity.

I’m glad to see these critical changes are happening.

@memebag_ might be possible to care about both

@RVAwonk it’s weird that u like paying for this

[Barry @Dinner4Mucks]

@MurseDarius @RVAwonk This 👆

[Barry @Dinner4Mucks]

@thatsKAIZEN @RVAwonk yup exactly

[Barry @Dinner4Mucks]

@AngelaBelcamino agree

[Barry @Dinner4Mucks]

@SarahIronside6 But what if.. you had to pay for it….

this is a good thing

@JuddLegum @grok has funding for the Baltimore police department increased or decreased over the past 10 years?

what’s it mean!

Lol. Lmao even.

Six days ago, the media celebrated a significant milestone: Spain’s national grid operated entirely on renewable energy for the first time during a weekday.

At 12:35 pm today local time, the lights went out across Spain and Portugal, and parts of France. Although power was quickly restored in France, it could take a week to fully restore power in Spain and Portugal.
In an instant, the electric hum of modern life — trains, hospitals, airports, phones, traffic lights, cash registers — fell silent. Tens of millions of people instantly plunged into chaos, confusion, and darkness. People got stuck in elevators. Subways stopped between stations. Gas stations couldn’t pump fuel. Grocery stores couldn’t process payments. Air traffic controllers scrambled as systems failed and planes were diverted. In hospitals, backup generators sputtered on, but in many cases could not meet full demand.
It was one of the largest peacetime blackouts Europe has ever seen. And it was not random. It was not an unforeseeable event. It was the exact failure that many of ushave been, repeatedly, warning lawmakers about for years — warnings that Europe’s political leaders systematically chose to ignore.

While Portugal’s grid operator REN initially blamed the mass blackout on “extreme temperature variations” and a “rare atmospheric phenomenon,” and while some media repeated that framing, the reality is more serious. Weather may have triggered the event, but it was not the cause of the system’s collapse.
Spain’s national grid operator, Red Eléctrica, revealed that the immediate cause of the blackout was a “very strong oscillation in the electrical network” that forced Spain’s grid to disconnect from the broader European system, leading to the collapse of the Iberian Peninsula’s power supply at 12:38 p.m.

“No one has ever attempted a black start on a grid that relies so heavily on renewables as Iberia,” noted @JKempEnergy . “The limited number of thermal generators will make it more challenging to re-establish momentum and frequency control.”

In a traditional power grid dominated by heavy spinning machines — coal plants, gas turbines, nuclear reactors — small disturbances, even from severe weather, are absorbed and smoothed out by the sheer physical inertia of the system. The heavy rotating mass of the generators acts like a shock absorber, resisting rapid changes in frequency and stabilizing the grid.
But in an electricity system dominated by solar panels, wind turbines, and inverters, there is almost no physical inertia. Solar panels produce no mechanical rotation. Most modern wind turbines are electronically decoupled from the grid and provide little stabilizing force. Inverter-based systems, which dominate modern renewable energy grids, are precise but delicate. They follow the frequency of the grid rather than resisting sudden changes....

The public health establishment over-exaggerating the effectiveness of masks may actually result in a net increase in the spread of infectious disease due to people preferring to wear a mask vs staying home when they’re symptomatically ill.

South Korea has the highest current case rate in the world, despite nearly 90% of the population being fully vaccinated and consistent 99% mask compliance

I wonder why this isn’t getting more media attention

Ridiculous

shouldn’t have to be this way

Thank you to the students who shared this information with us. It’s time to bring back choice and say #enoughisenough to coercion @WesternU @huronatwestern @KingsAtWestern

Sad & pathetic that anyone is still holding onto these “rules”

[Reopen California Schools @ReopenCASchools]

Principal for @mvwschools called police on a four-year old for not wearing a mask.

The officer was cordial and understanding, but the child could not stay. The child has missed school most of this week.

There is no state or county school mask mandate where this school resides.
