How many species live in our Ohio parks, forests, wildlife areas, and public lands? How will injecting millions of gallons of toxic water into the ground and flaring methane into the sky affect them? Tell the commission: Hands off our wildlife areas! bit.ly/valleyzep

A gallon of gas or a dozen eggs costs less than it did a few months ago, but it remains difficult for many Ohioans to make ends meet. While the newly approved Ohio budget provides some food assistance money, the battle against hunger continues. @nckevns ohiocapitaljournal.com/2023/…

Editorial: If those in support of Issue 1 truly believed this was good for democracy and Ohio, they would have the vote in November when Ohioans expect to vote. Lawmakers do not think you are paying attention Prove them wrong by voting "no" on Issue 1. dispatch.com/story/opinion/e…

'Power-hungry hypocrites' trying to con Ohio. Issue 1 about dominance, deceit| Our view

The August 8 election speaks to whether undemocratic forces will be successful in corrupting Ohio's heart with very big lies, the Dispatch Editorial Board writes.

The history of television began long before millions of people gathered in front of their black-and-white sets and fiddled with the antenna to watch Lucy and Howdy Doodie. That's clear from a visit to the Early Television Museum outside Columbus, Ohio. apnews.com/article/museum-of…

This Ohio museum shows that TV is older than you might think

Grateful to @nytopinion for sharing my essay on how utilities are using our money to slow down the clean energy transition, and how we can stop them. And thank you to my colleagues at @EnergyandPolicy for their years of digging up the dirt utilities try to keep hidden from us!
Energy and Policy Institute@EnergyandPolicy5 Jul 2023
Our very own @DavidPomerantz has a new Guest Essay in @nytimes today about how to stop utilities from using ratepayer dollars to prolong the era of dirty energy. Please read and share! nytimes.com/2023/07/05/opini…

Think about this: @Jim_Jordan has not authored a SINGLE piece of legislation that’s been passed… In his entire career. 15 years in Congress and not one damn bill. We’re up against the least-effective member of Congress.

I keep reading that film studios are contemplating replacing writers and actors by using Artificial Intelligence to mimic their talents Surely it would be easier and more efficient to replace executives, since they have no talent at all
