Harvard figured out what everyone else in power needs to understand: Complicity with Trump will not save you.

Standing up isn't just the right thing to do. It's the smart thing to do. He will renege on any "deal" you make and come after you anyway.

In the 1980's, I visited with Ross Perot's staff & took Mr. Perot a huge stack of documents proving how dire the circumstances were in the public schools, colleges, & universities. Since education is again an issue before the American people, I thought you would be interested in what Ross Perot said about education. I believe I did have an impact on his comments below.

What in tarnation is going on in Texas? - by David Roberts


#Texas #energy #renewables

Ai Summary : In the last five years, Texas has become the renewable energy pacesetter in the US, with wind, solar, and batteries accounting for about 90% of new electricity capacity. This transformation occurred due to the state's free market electricity system, which has kept prices low and production booming. However, conservative Texas legislators are now considering bills that could hinder clean energy development. One bill, Senate Bill 819, would impose stricter regulations on renewable energy siting than those for oil and gas, with setbacks that are much larger than for traditional energy sources. Another bill, Senate Bill 388, would require new additions to the Texas grid to be at least 50% dispatchable, effectively mandating the inclusion of gas-fired power plants. This requirement would limit the growth of the Texas economy, as it is impossible to build enough gas capacity to keep up with the state's unprecedented load growth. To address the growing demand for electricity, Texas needs to focus on energy efficiency and demand response. The state has made some progress in this area, with the establishment of the Aggregated Distributed Energy Resource Task Force and a pilot program for virtual power plants (VPPs). However, more needs to be done to integrate these resources into the grid and create a market mechanism for their value. Senate Bill 6, initially intended to help manage large loads coming to Texas, has lost some of its promising features. The bill still includes provisions for emergency response service, which would create a more organized system for load reduction and emergency generation during times of grid stress. However, it no longer includes incentives for speed to interconnect for new clean energy projects, which would have encouraged the development of renewable energy and storage. In summary, Texas is at a crossroads. The state's free market electricity system has led to impressive renewable energy growth, but conservative legislators are now considering bills that could hinder this progress. To ensure continued economic growth and grid reliability, Texas needs to focus on energy efficiency, demand response, and the integration of distributed resources. This will require visionary leadership and a commitment to creating a market mechanism that values these resources for their unique contributions to the grid.

Sunday morning I took a walk in a #forest. Made some #photos; here's five of them.

For some time, I was considering dropping one or splitting the post; all because #mastodon for no reason imposes arbitrary limit of 4 photos per post and silently drops ā€œexcessiveā€ ones. Even though I do use different software, and I can attach more, you will probably see only four.

And then I thought: fuck it. Not my problem. There are five.

Experts Uncover Four New Privilege Escalation Flaws in Windows Task Scheduler


Cybersecurity researchers have detailed four different vulnerabilities in a core component of the Windows task scheduling service that could be exploited by local attackers to achieve privilege escalation and erase logs to cover up evidence of malicious activities. The issues have been uncovered in a binary named "schtasks.exe," which enables an administrator to create, delete, query, change,

Chemicals found in common food packaging plastics like cling film and snack pouches may interfere with the body’s natural 24-hour sleep-wake cycle, increasing the risk of sleep disorders, diabetes, immune problems and even cancer, new research shows.

Published this month in Environment International, the study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology is the first to show that everyday polyurethane (PUR) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics contain compounds that can disrupt the body’s internal clock (circadian rhythm) by quickly interfering with a specific cell signal (A1R) linked to sleep and light.

Unlike previous research that focused on slow, hormone-related effects, this study reveals a faster, direct impact on key ā€œclock genesā€ through a different kind of biological pathway. That means plastic chemicals may contribute to serious health problems such as diabetes or cancers in more ways than scientists know, the researchers say.

But now I'd like to talk a little bit about my contribution to it.
I was inspired by a conversation with @limebar about his track, which you can listen to here:
bonkknobrecords.bandcamp.com/t…

In this he combined elements from four tracks by four bonkwave artists and put them together to create one of my favourites from our previous compilation.

Minimalist opera calms my brain. My brain needs a lot of calming right now, so I'm grateful to have come across this, just finished my first of many listens. Open to other recommendations.

I have been autistically online for nearly a decade now, and I have never seen the Autistic community as worked up over something as we are about RFKjr's looming fascist bullshit. He obviously wants to use us to push his antivax nonsense, and at the same time he wants to do a eugenics and eliminate us from the population. This is a Red Alert. Glad to see folks aren't being quiet about it, but it's also scary to see everyone as freaked out as I am.

This is going to be a thread because I'm annoyed and have much to say. It should be called something like "How I wasted a good part of the last 7 years having to react to a dubious technology instead of doing my job". Or perhaps "How a science disappeared". You can decide. /0
