If journalists had balls, every interview with trump would turn into the rampart AMA.

"Yeah, that's cool, but let's return to talking about Epstein..."

It's so wild. I vacationed in Northern England, about an hour south of Scotland, in Tynemouth, and our whole family found the offshore turbines to be magical.

There's ruins of like a massive 4-6 story monastery from the 15th century, and it's wild because the remnants of the one wall are the tallest thing in town, and have been for centuries. There's literally paintings and drawings going back centuries showing it, and centuries and centuries of people living in the shadow of this partial massive monument that no longer exists.

It's super interesting, but there's also something kind of inherently scary and depressing about feeling like you're seeing ancient remnants of some massive great thing that can no longer be done.

But then at a foggy sunset we saw the off shore turbines and it was genuinely uplifting and magical in a solar punk way. Just the blades peaked out of the fog, and similar to the monastery ruins, they looked too big to be created by humans, but these were actually still working. It felt like it was providing a glimpse into our future massive endeavours, and was one of the most magical moments of the whole trip.

Doom Quixote.

Glad I’m not the only one whose mind went straight there

Don Quixote was a fool but not an asshole.

I think his name was Don

Windmills can do things other than grind flour. Both terms are correct.

It's grinding electrons into wires

They’re milling wind
