I visited Budapest in the spring of 2024. It is an •incredible• place, not just the awe-inducing history visible everywhere in built environment, but the present: the vibrant life, the artistry and skill everywhere, the rich and varied intersections of cultures, the spirit, the marvelous people I met through seemingly every door I entered.
Sending Hungarians love and strength from Minneapolis today. You are amazing. Your home and your society are worth fighting for.

"What’s ironic is that you have the leader of the Catholic church speaking out against war and against the way that immigrants are being treated. That shows this co-option of the Christian identity by Opus Dei to be a complete fallacy; it’s all for political expediency. It’s about these people’s own deeply authoritarian and conservative views about how the world should be run."

As Cuba’s grid fails, solar power becomes a lifeline
Ten percent of the Caribbean nation’s electricity was generated by renewable energy in 2025, up from 3.6% in 2024.

Gee, I guess to this judge, being dead is not a valid excuse to not appear at a hearing.
This judge is a Obama appointee - but she worked a Peoplesoft, a company that in my opinion seemed to follow a silicon valley tradition of management-by-brutality. (Peoplesoft was acquired by Oracle, a company run by Larry Ellison - an organization and person with an "interesting" way of dealing with the world and people.)
This reminds me of the Richard Farina tune "House Un-Am…

Trump describes Imane Khelif, the Algerian boxer whose 2024 Paris Olympics match became a flashpoint in the transgender athlete debate, as a man who transitioned to womanhood.
-- She was not.
Khelif is a woman who was assigned female at birth. The entire anecdote, used to justify policy, rests on a lie.
Similarly, Trump claims that Somali-Americans in Minnesota have 94% unemployment.
-- The actual labor force participation rate for that community is approximately 70% …

The race to secure electricity for AI models has reached new heights:
Meta has signed an agreement with the startup Overview Energy that could see a thousand satellites beam infrared light to solar farms that power data centers at night.

In 2024, Meta’s data centers used more than 18,000 gigawatt-hours of electricity
— roughly enough to power more than 1.7 million American homesfor a year
— and its need for compute power is only…

Amazon wildfire emissions may be up to three times higher than estimated
Fires are a recurring phenomenon in central South America, often intensified by drought and deforestation. In 2024, wildfire activity reached its highest levels in 20 years, affecting vast areas of the Amazon rainforest and the Cerrado—the world's most biodiverse tropical savanna, stretching across one-fifth of Brazil and extending into Bolivia and Paraguay.
