There's so many places that have wind turbines in actually (generally) cold(er) climates and they run just fine. Prince edward island, gaspe peninsula, wolfe island ontario, tons more. It was just capitalism at work

wikipedia posted:

At present, there is an 11-turbine, 17.6-megawatt wind farm located on Fire Island. The installation is owned and operated by Fire Island Wind LLC, a subsidiary of Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (CIRI), the owners of the island. The turbines’ nacelles rise to 262 feet (80 m) above the ground, about the height of Anchorage's Robert B. Atwood Building, which is the city's second-tallest. An underwater transmission line connects the wind farm to the Anchorage power grid.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

the emperor Vespasian's efforts to regulate public toilets in Roman cities (by taxing the collection of urine from the toilets, which was a valuable commodity used in things like tanning) resulted in his name becoming a slang term for 'public toilet', a term that survived for thousands of years, outlasting the Roman Empire itself. to this day in modern Italian the word for 'public urinal' is 'vespasiano'

not even, most of the evidence was more like some govt agency, fbi whoever emails twitter and says "these guys are breaking your terms of conditions" + links to open nazis calling for the death of everyone, and internal twitter mails like "this is pretty hosed up, yeah we should probably ban them". not to be a hagiographer of twitter, but it was counter-indicative to the taibbi/musk theory and so fell off quickly. then they got mad at each other for some reason i forgot and taibbi got banned i think

Twitter censored things. Probably most notably the Hunter Biden laptop stuff, right before Biden got elected.

That's all I got out of it so if someone has something I can read that's not a series of tweets released over the course of months I would be grateful.

Yeah it was this, Taibbi pushed back on the substack block, and, since it turned out to just be dry text about moderation decisions, Elon was clearly bored with the Twitter Files thing and just cut him off.
