"The Crown Estate, the monarchy’s property firm, owns much of the seabed surrounding Britain. Great British Energy will work with the firm to develop #OffshoreWind and other #CleanEnergy projects, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Thursday.

#GreatBritishEnergy is to be backed by $10.7 billion in public funding over the next five years. The government is hoping that private investors can be persuaded to pour in another $77.3 billion in support."

"The Crown Estate, which has a £15.5bn portfolio of land and seabed holdings, operates independently and returns its profits to the government.

On Wednesday, it announced profits of £1.1bn, up from £658mn the previous year, driven by offshore wind leasing contracts. The estate said it had 36 wind farms operating across its marine holdings with a combined capacity of 11.8GW."

NPR Just now:

Trump audio: “Kamala hates Jewish people.”

NPR Newsreader: “VP Harris has been married to a Jewish man for over a decade.”

The biggest casualty in the Trump era has been the death of truth. He and a lot of the GOP just wantonly lie. The media can’t even keep up with the fact checking and really do a poor job of stating bluntly “what Trump just said was a lie.”

Don’t say “an untruth” or whatever euphemism they’re using that day. It needs to be stated clearly “this is a lie.”

“A lie is halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on.” —Winston Churchill

JD Vance calls for taking away voting power from “people who don’t have kids”.
Republicans have also called to raise the voting age.
If your vote didn't matter, they wouldn't be trying so hard to take it away.

Theists:
The #gospels were anonymously written and didn’t start appearing until decades after the events they claim to describe. They started as oral tales, and there are no original manuscripts.

Why should anyone believe they’re true?

Olympics opening ceremony: a litte Gaga, a lot of spectacle, and universal uplift

How Paris 2024’s Olympics opening ceremony set spirits – and much else – soaring, embracing the Seine, the streets and the skies.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the opening ceremony. The number of MAGA heads that exploded must have been in the hundreds!"
- Aure

Paris showcased too much diversity for cranky MAGA bigots to process!

Good morning!

It's brunch day, so I'm skipping my early-morning walk as usual, hoping to minimize my pain sitting in the restaurant. I missed brunch last time, so it will be good to see people again.

My book sales yesterday topped out at 248. I don't think I've ever sold that many in a single day before -- mostly I sell 30-50. I have no idea what caused that huge spike, but I am very grateful that it happened. It's an unexpected windfall.

May you have unexpected good luck #today.

It never ceases to amaze me how corrupted the meaning of the word "private" has become. To me, the very essence of "private" is that you 100% control it yourself. Probably implies "self-hosted" as well, but that's not strictly necessary (but at the cost of extra complexity). You can build your private things on top of someone else's services, but services can never be sold as "private".

I may appear to be free
but I'm just a prisoner of your love
And I may seem all right and smile when you leave
but my smiles are just a front
Just a front, hey

And I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
And I'll try to keep my cool, but I'm feigning

I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah)
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

Celebrating Hanukah with battalion-strength indiscriminate tracer fire.

A lapse of fire discipline so complete that the IDF is often more dangerous to itself than any actual enemy.

Killing civilians approaching humanitarian routes.

And soldiers trained to know better but permitted, even encouraged, to revel in the utter destruction of Palestinian lives.

Israeli Minister for the Advancement of Women, May Golan:

“I am personally proud of the ruins of Gaza...every baby, even 80 years from now, will tell their grandchildren what the Jews did.”

Personally, I think she's right. 80 years ago was 1944, mid-Holocaust. People do remember genocidal violence across generations.

Hello! Hi! I have book news!

I can't thank my agent enough for this, and also @MarkStout, because it was his words on my thesis, which sparked the idea that Tsien's story needed to be a book.
Megan Abbate at Bloomsbury has bought, at auction, former political staffer, strategist and activist Celeste Pewter's Infinite Sky: The Story of Tsien Hsue-Shen, the Scientist Who Took Two Countries into Space. The middle-grade biography explores the life of a young Chinese immigrant who arrived in the U.S. in 1935 to study at MIT, becoming a professor at CalTech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory before anti-Communist paranoia prompted the U.S. to deport him back to China. Publication is set for winter 2026; Molly Ker Hawn at the Bent Agency negotiated the deal for world English rights.

What Medieval People Thought of Different Religions: Insights from Francesco Suriano - Medievalists.net https://www.medievalists.net/2024/07/medieval-different-religions/
Have you ever wondered how people in the Middle Ages viewed those of different faiths? You might think they focused on moral and religious differences, but one medieval Italian writer, Francesco Suriano, offers a surprising perspective: the real differences lay in everyday habits like clothing, food, and pets.

CrowdStrike Offers $10 Gift Card as Apology for Shutting Down Basically the Whole Earth


CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity firm behind last week's epic global computer meltdown — seemingly the largest IT outage in history — is offering its partners a hilariously inadequate mea culpa: a $10 Uber Eats gift card in apology.

It's a hilariously inadequate gesture for a slip-up that cost Fortune 500 companies more than $5 billion in direct losses, according to a new analysis by insurance firm Parametrix, and forced countless IT professionals to work around the clock over the weekend.

Adding insult to injury, at least some of the gift cards were "canceled by the issuing party" and were "no longer valid," according to TechCrunch.
