Peeps, here’s your just-say-no-to-individuality Wednesday jam. Listen to it at least four times in a row, that’s the rules.

Best fuzzy guitar around, too. Hard to say how much of that was L7 and how much was Butch Vig. It’s badass either way.

California may restore broadband privacy rules killed by Congress and Trump

A proposed law in California would require Internet service providers to obtain customers’ permission before they use, share, or sell the customers’ Web browsing history.

The California Broadband Internet Privacy Act, a bill introduced by Assembly member Ed Chau (D-Monterey Park) on Monday, is very similar to an Obama-era privacy rule that was scheduled to take effect across the US until President Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress eliminated it. If Chau’s bill becomes law, ISPs in California would have to get subscribers’ opt-in consent before using browsing history and other sensitive information in order to serve personalized advertisements. Consumers would have the right to revoke their consent at any time.

I hope other states follow suit.

Solar energy is killing coal, despite Trump’s promises

The rapidly falling cost of solar energy is going to make it difficult for President Trump to deliver on his promise to put coal miners back to work.

Trump has taken steps to ease the burden on coal country by ripping up environmental rules and pledging to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord.

But those deregulatory steps do little to offset the mounting long-term challenge that coal faces from cleaner forms of energy, especially solar.

Good.

I know it’s Tuesday but I took this yesterday 😊🌸

And then there was that one time around midnight when I was all liquored up, and in my teens and by myself, and thought… “I need an adventure.”

So I stumble-walked 30 minutes over to the middle school, climbed to the top, and plopped down.

And I sat there with only a few swallows left in my quarter of beer, in the middle of the night, with my feet dangling over the side, and thought… “this is no adventure.”

Meredith was sitting one seat over from us on the train. No idea who she was other than that she was going to Chicago. No idea why she didn’t want my picture either.

PS- AirDrop is a simple way to send files to another phone/computer.

This is what it’s like to ride Amtrak in the Midwest. Exactly like this. When your train is running an hour and a half late. When you’re ready to be home.
