@HQNewsNow He reads so many memes from 1-5am that he's worn out by mid-afternoon.
@JavierBlas About 7% US Crude production. Should start tapering off under $90 & start refilling under $65

There are moments in Gaza when suffering becomes so ordinary that people stop asking for solutions.
They begin asking only for the smallest relief. A little less pain.
A child who sleeps through the night.
When I entered the clinic that morning, I noticed a young woman carrying a baby so small that I could not tell whether the child was a newborn or simply made tiny by hardship.
When her turn came, she gently placed the baby on my desk and said:
“I want any cream you have.” Any cream. Not a specific medicine. Not a particular treatment.
Just anything.
She uncovered the baby and showed me the severe rash covering much of the child’s fragile skin.
“I treat the baby with whatever free creams I can find in clinics,” she explained.
“Anything helps.”
As she spoke, I noticed something else. The baby was not wearing a diaper. Only pieces of cloth.
I asked why.
“I can’t afford diapers,” she replied calmly. “I wash these and use them again.”
Then she added that they were living in a tent and that her husband had suffered a serious foot injury and was unable to work.
“I’m not asking for much,” she said.
“I only want a cream.”
But what caught my attention most was not the rash.
It was the malnutrition.
The baby was severely underweight. The kind of malnutrition that is visible before any examination even begins.
So I asked the mother whether she had noticed.
She nodded. “Yes, I know.”
Then she said something I cannot forget: “When the baby gets older, things will get better.”
Not because she truly believed it.
But because hope was cheaper than treatment.
And treatment was something she could no longer afford. That was the moment that broke me.
Not the tent. Not the poverty. Not even the illness.
But the fact that this mother had lowered her expectations so much that she no longer dreamed of proper medical care, diapers, or adequate nutrition.
She came asking for the smallest thing she could imagine. A tube of cream.
Any cream.
Something that might make the baby hurt a little less.
The baby could not have been more than five months old.
Too young to understand war. Too young to understand poverty. Yet already carrying both on that tiny body.
There is something profoundly cruel about a world in which a mother’s greatest hope for her child is no longer a better future.
Only a little less suffering tonight.

@RpsAgainstTrump I think he's referring to the conversation he had in his imagination.
@wmtaggart4 Note there is no need for a poly on nuclear. We need more of that for base load. Batteries store excess renewables for use when the sun sets & winds calm. Local batteries with large users (AI, Crypto, etc.) allow demand response when the grid gets tight due to other issues. 🙌
@RpsAgainstTrump He keeps using that term, I don't think it means what he thinks it means.
@MorganEakinGOP Someone wants a really short list of delegates present for SREC voting?
@RpsAgainstTrump Does he sleep in meetings because he was up all night looking for memes to repost?
The Soviet Union once decided politics should be able to override science. The concept of genetics and natural selection was labeled bourgeois.

Similarly, the Nazi's weren't happy with 'Jewish science'

Heck there are people who argue against relativity today because they think it contradicts the bible.
@taygoldenstein @TexasTribune In suburban counties with restrictions on residential development (lot size, apts, etc), builders develop outside of restrictions & then petition to annex for city services after construction. City accepts tax revenue. Limits land use in old city but allows in new areas w/o zone.
@Arnold_Ventures I imagine those scars would include a history of employers who hire people getting back on their feet. What can be done to improve employment for those who are correcting past mistakes?
@HQNewsNow Because Trump's gladiator show will surely get Iran to capitulate.
@theepicmap The things with using rivers as boundaries is that they move with time.

@jmhorp Modifying it requires 1) estimating yearly income, 2) & deductions, 3) entering correct values in W4. The W4 options are not simple. I claim credits to zero WH & then set extra WH to the desired amt & update each Qtr.
@RoguePOTUSStaff I agree with doubling the size of the House. I think requirements for district nominal partisanship are also required. The state delegation should represent the state. A state that votes 58%R in statewide elections (gov,sen,pres) should have 58%R representation in US House.
@fairvote @leedrutman @ezraklein The nominal delegation for a state should closely match the statewide partisan vote for President, Senators, and Governor. A 58% R State should have about 58% R delegation in US House, State Senate, State House, & other statewide boards.
@David_J_Bier Is there a more bimodal distribution of immigrant education than native education? A chart by years of education would be interesting.
@jmhorp Golf courses are also big water users. But not data center big.
