So… to summarize the argument: we have to build nuclear plants, even though they are the most expensive renewable per kWh and they take the longest amount of time to build (even by the author’s “fast” timeline standards) because we don’t have batteries that can store wind and solar energy, even though there are multiple emerging potential solutions that could result in days-long storage capacity.

Not buying it. I don’t buy the “unsafe” argument but I also don’t buy this argument

Edit: this same publication that published this op-ed published a pretty negative review of this book, funny enough: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/jun/02/going-nuclear-by-tim-gregory-review-a-boosterish-case-for-atomic-energy

I can stand up for what I believe in. Does that mean I should be written about in a major news outlet?

Weird, I was listening to them on Spotify a couple weeks ago.

No offense, but they aren’t exactly a big deal. Unless you’re super into the 90s/00s noise rock scene ig

Donald Trump transferred to Penn

Well no, the issue is the kids being exempt from reading them as part of a lesson or from being read to during story-time. They aren’t saying the books must be physically removed.

The main takeaways here are:

The justices, in a 6-3 vote along ideological lines, said that in most cases, judges can only grant relief to the parties who brought a particular lawsuit and may not extend those decisions to protect other individuals without going through the process of converting a suit into a class action.

The court did not rule on the legality of Trump’s order purporting to end birthright citizenship, although the three liberal justices said the president’s directive was clearly unlawful.

So, the plaintiffs will need to certify as a class in order for judges to issue nationwide injunctions now. That’s a pretty huge shift.

There’s also 1 million more people than in 1989 and (I think?) a larger portion of NYCers are registered dems now. So that’s not actually that good. We should break turnout records every year if our population grows.

I don’t understand this article. Did they link to the wrong source? It doesn’t seem to be remotely connected to what the article says.

If you’re gonna spread a message, at least use reliable sources. This article is just poorly written.

Trying hard now to stick to your intent. What am I missing?

Most local politicians I know don’t get paid (school board, commissioners, etc) or they get paid very little for the time they put in.

If you count up all the elected folks in the USA, less than 1% are what you think of as “politicians.” They are mostly just people you see at the grocery store
