Ted Cruz, the much maligned senator from Texas, refuses to stop owning himself on Twitter, which is all well and good, other than him having a job to do. There’s the matter of him helping to incite the failed MAGA coup, and his defense of Trump’s pandemic response, and now, there’s the ice storm that’s crippling Texas. Still, Ted’s upset about a running beef that he’s got with the Internet that’s left him fuming over being laughed at for falling for a conservative parody article. On top of his lost battles with Seth Rogen and Cary Elwes, one would think that Cruz would take a break from Twitter, but nope. He’s back for more self-humiliation.

To briefly recap, Cruz was so mad about being called for falling for an article with an obviously fake headline (“Disney Posts Job Ad Looking For Strong, Fierce Women Who Are Also Obedient, Submissive, And Docile,” a reference to Gina Carano’s The Mandalorian firing), and he got defensive. He still didn’t acknowledge that he fell for the parody article, and now, he’s pointing people (and borderline trolling them) toward a Babylon Bee article that appears to mirror his situation.

In response to this headline, “Ignorant Senator Shares New York Times Article Thinking It’s Real,” Cruz tweeted, “Totally not fake.”

Cruz was still obsessing over his parody debacle on Monday night while Texans were (and still are) suffering through ice storm power outages. One could argue that at least he’s not pulling a Rootin’ Tootin’ Lauren Boebert (blaming it on the Green New Deal), but still, can’t Ted stop complaining to the Internet while his own constituents are literally freezing. This is not going over well at all with Texans.

Yep, pretty much everyone is laughing at Ted Cruz these days.

Voting for the 2021 NBA All-Star Game has already begun, and the names leading the fan voting are unsurprising. LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and Giannis Antetokounmpo top the list, and everyone currently projected to start would be an All-Star Game veteran.

However, one of the great joys of this season has been the breakout starts for some of the NBA’s young stars, and there are a host of names that have worthy cases to be an All-Star for the first time this season. When the coaches select the reserves this season, there will be a lot of difficult decisions to make, but there are 10 players who would be first-time All-Stars that have made strong cases for consideration. Sadly, many of them won’t find their way to Atlanta, at least initially, but it’s possible the league has to dip deeper into reserves than usual given how many stars have pushed back on the fan-less All-Star.

Still, we’re going to look at the list of 10, fully understanding there are a number of names that have become perennial All-Stars that will be tough to beat out for spots, but at least some of these guys deserve to have their name called for All-Star honors.

EAST

Zach LaVine (28.1 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 5.3 apg; 51.9/43.0/86.3 shooting): LaVine should be an All-Star this season, full stop. The Bulls scuffled early, but have been clawing their way back into the playoff race in the East and it is in large part due to the exploits of LaVine. He’s averaging career highs in, well, just about everything on a per game basis: points, rebounds, assists, blocks, FG%, 3P%, and FT%. He’s become one of the NBA’s best scorers, developing his shot at all three levels and has established himself as an elite closer, as we saw on Monday in the Bulls overtime win over the Pacers.

Julius Randle (22.4 ppg, 11.1 rpg, 5.6 apg; 46.9/39.1/80.6 shooting): Like LaVine, Randle is posting career highs in just about every category this season and is the biggest reason why the Knicks are currently the 6-seed in the East. He’s not just scoring and rebounding, things he’s always been capable of, but he is legitimately running the New York offense a lot of the time, leading the Knicks in assists per game. That playmaking bump, along with the shooting efficiency from deep, has made him not just a stat sheet stuffer, but a guy who is impacting winning, shown recently by his 44-point outburst to beat the Hawks on Monday. The Knicks have been one of the NBA’s biggest surprises and no one on the team has contributed to that more than Randle, who deserves an All-Star nod for his efforts.

Jaylen Brown (26.0 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 3.4 apg; 51.3/40.9/75.2 shooting): Brown was on the fringe of All-Star contention a year ago and has made another leap with his playmaking on offense this season. The Celtics wing is posting a career-best scoring season in both volume and efficiency and is also facilitating more than ever, as he has stepped his offensive game up to match that of Jayson Tatum. The moments where he simply asserts his will on both ends and looks like an absolute dominant player in the league are incredible, and happen far more often this season than in years past. Without Brown’s contributions this season, the Celtics would be looking even worse than their 13-13 record and, like the first two names on this list, he should find his way onto the East squad.

Malcolm Brogdon (21.1 ppg, 6.6 apg, 4.3 rpg; 43.9/38.7/90.1 shooting): The Pacers have stumbled in recent weeks, in large part due to trading Victor Oladipo for Caris LeVert, who hasn’t played yet after having a cancerous mass removed from his kidney that was found in the trade physical. Losing your best wing without a replacement is always going to be tough to handle, but Indiana has at least been able to tread water a bit thanks to the continued strong play from Brogdon. He, along with Domantas Sabonis, have been the offensive engines for the Pacers and had they been able to keep up their early season winning pace, I think he’d be firmly in the race. Right now, he’s likely on the outside looking in, but should at least get consideration from the coaches for his contributions to the East’s current 5-seed.

Jerami Grant (23.0 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 3.0 apg; 43.5/38.4/87.7 shooting): The Pistons have been dreadful this season, but not for a lack of effort from their biggest free agent signing. I must repent here and apologize to Grant, who I feared may have made a mistake going to Detroit for a bigger role over signing for the same money in Denver for the more comfortable fit. He has thrived with the ball in his hand this season, producing his own shot at a rate and efficiency that he never has previously and has been among the few positives in Detroit thus far. The Pistons being at the bottom of the East will likely keep him out of real contention for a spot on the team, but he’s deserving of some love for what he’s done this season, exceeding expectations and more than playing up to his big contract.

John Collins (18.7 ppg, 7.8 rpg; 1.6 apg; 54.3/39.1/85.3 shooting): Collins’ production isn’t as gaudy as it was a year ago when he averaged 21/10, but the Hawks also have competent frontcourt pieces around him to take some of those touches away. He’s still a tremendously efficient player and is having a terrific season on both ends of the floor (he’s one of the few positive defenders on the Hawks), as he, Clint Capela, and Trae Young have been the lone constants for the Hawks this season amid a rash of injuries. Collins is unlikely to get the nod due to the Hawks just not being good enough so far, but he deserves some national love for his play and should they have to dip into the reserves in the East frontcourt he could get a look. Also, he’s built for the All-Star Game with his dunking and lob-finishing ability.

WEST

De’Aaron Fox (23.4 ppg, 6.8 apg, 3.3 rpg; 47.6/34.3/68.6 shooting): The Kings have been among the league’s most fun teams to watch this season and are hanging around the West playoff picture, thanks in large part to the continued improvement of fourth-year point guard De’Aaron Fox. Fox has been nothing short of tremendous this season, as he’s become more aggressive offensively and the Kings are benefitting from the confidence he’s playing with on that end. Defense is a nightmare for Sacramento, but that’s neither here nor there (and, hey, there’s no defense in the All-Star game anyways). The West backcourt race is incredibly difficult to sift through, but Fox should get serious consideration for a reserve spot.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (22.6 ppg, 6.5 apg, 5.5 rpg; 50.6/38.2/77.1 shooting): Few would fault you for not watching a ton of Thunder basketball this season, but you have been missing out on one of the true rising stars in the NBA if you haven’t. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been good since he entered the NBA, but he continues to take leaps and in his third year as the clear leader of a team he has been absolutely sensational. SGA has this Thunder team that the entire world pegged for DFL in the NBA before the season at 11-15, tied with New Orleans and Houston for 12th in the West. He is an absolute maestro with the basketball, creating for himself and his teammates, and has steadily become an elite finisher and quality shooter. As mentioned earlier, the West backcourt is a tough group to crack but he has the numbers to match up with just about anyone who has buzz as a reserve and, compared to expectations, his impact on winning is on par with most as well.

Mike Conley (16.5 ppg, 5.8 apg, 3.7 rpg; 45.0/41.0/81.5 shooting): The Jazz are going to have two All-Stars for sure, but as the NBA’s best team thus far there will be a case made that they deserve a third and that that third All-Star should be the best veteran in the league who’s never made an All-Star Game. Conley doesn’t have the gaudiest counting stats and that will hold him back, but the Jazz have been sensational when he’s on the floor and while Donovan Mitchell is the offensive leader and Rudy Gobert is the defensive leader for this team, Conley is the glue that holds it together. I don’t think we’ll see him in the game and that’s both a shame and understandable, but if there were ever a year for him to get on an All-Star squad it’s this year with what he’s doing for the NBA’s best team. There’s also precedent for the coaches rewarding the best team with a nod like this, as we saw it with the 2015 Atlanta Hawks.

Zion Williamson (24.4 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 2.9 apg; 60.7/30.8/71.1 shooting): It took a little bit to figure things out under new coach Stan Van Gundy, but Zion has been preposterous of late for the Pelicans. The second year star is an absolute monster on the offensive end as teams have no idea how to keep him out of the restricted area and he simply bends defenses to his will. New Orleans is an abject disaster on defense and that has to be fixed for them to be a playoff team anytime soon, but it’s crazy how good the Pelicans offense is when Zion’s on the floor. The league would certainly be thrilled to see him in an All-Star Game, and whether that happens this year or next, he’s going to be out there soon.

Wild Pink has a new album dropping this week, A Billion Little Lights. The new release follows up the beloved 2018 effort Yolk In The Fur and the group has shared some tantalizing previews of the forthcoming project. Now, just days ahead of the album, they have offered one more preview: On “Pacific City,” John Ross’ hushed vocals complement the driving, heartland-inspired instrumental that’s a natural progression from the album that came before it.

Ross says of the track:

“Pacific City is named after the city in Oregon and I was watching Heat a lot while writing it. I wanted to write a few songs with a conventional song structure on this album and this was one of them — we spent a lot of time on the drum tones and used a Yamaha RX21 drum machine. The song is about time passing and realizing you’re not the same person you used to be.”

Ross also recently spoke with Uproxx about the album and said of it, “I wanted to have something very lush and just bigger than anything that I’d done before. And I got to play with amazing players, that was my favorite part.”

Listen to “Pacific City” above.

A Billion Little Lights is out 2/19 via Royal Mountain Records. Pre-order it here.

D’arcy Carden, who played both Janet and Bad Janet on The Good Place, in addition to Natalie on Barry, appeared on this week’s episode of Justin Long’s podcast, Life Is Short. On the podcast, she spoke about her years working as the nanny for Bill Hader, and also revealed that, though she was born “Darcy,” she was inspired to change her name to “D’Arcy” by the bassist for the Smashing Pumpkins (D’arcy Wretzky).

On Justin’s request, Carden also shared a terrific story about Harry Styles that she told a couple of years ago on Conan. On the podcast, however, she had more than three minutes to tell it, didn’t also have to promote a project, and had a delightful post-script.

For context: D’Arcy Carden is a huge non-ironic fan of One Direction and Harry Styles, and has been “obsessed” with them since their first appearance on Saturday Night Live in 2012. She’d also seen them in concert around 9 times, and she always went and saw them on SNL when they appeared (her husband works there). In fact, to illustrate what a big fan of Harry Styles and One Direction she is, this tweet is from 2014, long before Carden became a fairly well known comedic actress.

More recently — Carden originally told this story on Conan two years ago — Harry Styles was on James Corden’s show, and Carden was invited by a friend to come and watch from near the stage. Carden jumped at the opportunity.

After he performed, Styles entered the backstage area, where Carden and her sister were hanging out.

“He looks at me,” Carden tells Long, “and his eyes light up. He comes over and gives me a hug. And we’re chatting, and I can’t believe he remembers me. What a great memory! He’s giving all of these really sweet compliments about what a good job I have been doing, and I think, ‘Oh my god, he watches The Good Place,’ which is so nice of him. He’s so nice, and he’s so polite.”

After that, Styles moved along and began talking to other people. Later in the evening, however, the stage manager quiets down the entire room, and Harry looks over at Carden again and says, ‘What are you guys talking about?’”

“Nothing,” Carden sassily says, as though they are friends now. “Mind your own beeswax!”

And then, Harry Styles looks around the entire green room and teasingly makes an announcement. He says, “Everybody, Sue won’t stop talking about the promotion she got. Give it up for Sue! She’s doing so good!”

“When he says, ‘big promotion,’” Carden continues, “my heart drops. I’m like, ‘Please, get me out of here.’ [My sister] grabs my leg, and we both go [under our breath], ‘Oh nooo. Fuuuuuuuuu*k.’”

Carden very quickly realizes that Styles thinks she’s someone else, someone named Sue who recently got a promotion. Carden had no idea how to respond. Does she tell him that he’s confused her for someone else? Does she run away? What happens, however, is that she ends up talking to him three or four more times that night, never corrects him, and continues to let him believe that she is “Sue.”

“I just wanted to disappear into a ball of dust on the ground.”

Before the night was over, “he gave me a hug again, and said something like, ‘Good to see you again, Sue!’”

And that was the end of the story, as she relayed to Conan two years ago. However, the post-script is that she’s seen Styles a few times since she originally told that story on Conan. “He’s so sweet, and he’s so hilarious about the whole thing. It’s been cleared up. One of the first times I saw him after telling that story was at a party and he looked at me and said, ‘Hi Sue!’ and I thought, ‘Oh fu*k,” and he said, ‘Just kidding!’”

“He truly is the most wonderful person,” Carden said, completing the story.

Trevor Noah wasted no time tearing into Donald Trump’s second impeachment acquittal as The Daily Show host kicked off Monday’s episode. While addressing the predictable outcome thanks to Republicans in the Senate desperately wanting to hold onto Trump’s supporters if not outright living in fear of them following the Capitol attack (“The GOP base still loves Trump and would turn on anyone who votes against him faster than Buffy fans turned on Joss Whedon,” Noah quipped.), he couldn’t help but notice the very strange celebration coming out of Trump world. Specifically, Eric Trump boasting that his dad is now 2-0, which prompted Noah to make a scathing comparison between the former president and O.J. Simpson.

“Now that’s what I’m talking about: two and oh,” Noah joked. “Obama never even won a single impeachment. Shit’s embarrassing! I mean say what you want, but Trump is the acquittal GOAT. Sorry OJ, you had a good run, but Trump got acquitted twice and he’s responsible for more deaths.”

Noah also made sure to get in a good dunk on the Senate vote, which was 57-43 in favor of convicting, but not enough to clear the two-thirds requirement to fully impeach Trump. “This dude just loves losing the popular vote.”

Despite Trump ducking yet another impeachment, The Wall Street Journal editorial board declared that the former president’s political career is over following the Capitol attack and the damning evidence that he ignored pleas from his own party to stop his supporters. “Mr. Trump may run again, but he won’t win another national election,” the WSJ Editorial Board wrote. “The country is moving past the Trump Presidency, and the GOP will remain in the wilderness until it does too.”

As if Megan Thee Stallion didn’t have enough going on with her booming music career, she has the added pressure of worrying about grades as well. Before becoming one of hip-hop’s favorite hitmakers, Meg was a full-time student in health administration at Texas Southern University and continued her studies as her career took off. However, she’ll soon be able to return her focus to music as she recently revealed that she’s on track to graduate in the fall.

However, that doesn’t mean she won’t have pursuits outside of rap. As she told People last year, “I’m gonna open an assisted-living facility and use the money that I make from rapping to open it. Then I’m gonna let my classmates run it.” In her tweet giving the update on her upcoming graduation — which was addressed to a now-deleted tweet demeaning her for explaining why she’s putting the kibosh on a sequel to her breakout “hot girl summer” — she said that the plans are still in the works for the assisted-living facility.

Meanwhile, Megan celebrated her 26th birthday over the weekend, receiving well-wishes from her mentor/”Savage” rap partner Beyonce and once again showing off the freestyle skills that made her such a star in the first place.

Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

This week in the best new pop music saw some captivating remixes and exciting releases. Dua Lipa returned to share her first new track of the year, Rebecca Black celebrate ten years of her meme-worthy song “Friday,” and Claud released their anticipated debut album.

Each week, Uproxx rounds up the best new pop music. Listen up.

Dua Lipa — “We’re Good”

Dua Lipa may have pulled influences from ’80s disco for her 2020 Future Nostalgia. But with her new single “We’re Good,” she’s dipping her toes into early aughts pop. Over a rolling beat, Lipa gets real with her past partner about deciding it’s time to move on.

Rebecca Black — “Friday (Remix)” Feat Dorian Electra, Big Freedia, 3Oh!3

Feel old yet? It’s been ten years since Rebecca Black released her internet-breaking song “Friday.” While the song didn’t receive positive feedback at the time, the now 23-year-old is reclaiming the single with the help of Dorian Electra, Big Freedia, and 3Oh!3. “I’d had the idea to do this remix of ‘Friday’ for years leading up to now but honestly it was also mildly insane for me to think anyone else would want to be a part of it,” Black said in a statement. “As I started talking about it with other artists and producers I couldn’t believe how stoked people were about it.”

Claud — “Guard Down”

Claud released their highly-anticipated debut album Super Monster this week, which included the shuffling single “Guard Down.” Describing the album in an interview with Uproxx, Claud says it’s “a reminder that to myself and to other people that you’re capable of being loved. If you open yourself up enough and remind yourself that you’re worthy of it, it’s possible and that you deserve it.”

Gabriel Garzón-Montano — “Someone” (Armando Young Remix) Feat. Jamila Woods

Gabriel Garzón-Montano is expanding on his 2020 album Agüita by enlisting a handful of artists to remix his songs. This week, the musician shared an Armando Young remix to his touching track “Someone” with Jamila Woods. Speaking to her decision to hop on the remix, Woods said she’s been a longtime fan of Garzón-Montano’s music: “I’ve been a big fan of Gabriel for a while and it was so fun to re-make this song with him! The lyrics are so visual and vulnerable and the story of the song really resonated with me.”

Sia — “1+1”

Sia made her directorial debut with the controversial and headline-making film Music. The movie just hit theaters this week, which means its accompanying soundtrack, also written by Sia, has been released. While critics may be puzzled over the film itself, songs like “1+1” proves Sia’s talent for songwriting.

Rita Ora — “Big” Feat. Gunna

Rita Ora returned to share her first new music in a year with her collaborative EP Bang. “It was like finding pen pals,” she said about the project. “You had me in London, Imanbek in Kazakhstan, Gunna in Los Angeles, KHEA in Argentina and David Guetta, well, who knows where David is at any one time. It’s a global project that went beyond language and geographical boundaries but somehow stayed lovely and intimate.”

Alaina Castillo — “STFU (I Got U)”

Many were celebrating love on Valentine’s Day this week, but Alaina Castillo was instead busy showcasing the pitfalls of romantic obsession. Armed with a downtempo beat, Castillo sings of playing games with her love interest and feeling insecure as a result.

Biig Piig — “Cuenta Lo”

With a handful of singles and EPs under her belt, Biig Piig continues turning heads with her thumping new track “Cuenta Lo.” About the single, the singer said: “‘Cuenta Lo’ is an alter-ego-driven song about money, sex and power. The video is based around when I used to be a poker dealer, and it’s about the coldness and greediness that money can bring in all industries…including music.”

Gallant — “Relapse”

Gallant brought his ethereal vocals into the new year. This week, the singer dropped the single “Relapse,” which followed his acclaimed 2019 album Sweet Insomnia. The emotionally-charged track offers another preview of his forthcoming project Neptune, which is expected to be released later this year.

Charlotte Cardin — “Meaningless”

With her affecting new single “Meaningless,” Charlotte Cardin officially announces her anticipated debut album Phoenix. “Making this album took two years, because I started the writing process trying to keep control over what I wanted to show,” Cardin said about the album writing process. “It eventually became obvious, though, that I needed to embrace accessing those true impulses for my music (and my life) to make any sense whatsoever. The more I realized certain things about myself in the process, the angrier I got for not understanding them earlier. This conflicting loop of shame versus growth gave birth to ‘Phoenix.’”

Unlike his superhero buddies Iron Man and Black Widow, Captain America lived happily ever after in Avengers: Endgame. He returned the Infinity Stones, as well as Thor’s hammer Mjölnir, to their respective points in the timeline, and instead of immediately returning to the present, he lived a “beautiful” life with Peggy Carter. But how did Cap pull it off? Did he create his own “branch reality,” or did he remain in our timeline? The only thing we know for sure is that Chris Evans is still ridiculously handsome even as an old man. It’s a question that has plagued Marvel fans since the highest-grossing movie ever was released, but directors Joe and Anthony Russo have set the record straight.

“One thing that’s clear that Anthony and I have discussed, I don’t know that we’ve discussed this publicly at all, but Cap would have had to have traveled back to the main timeline,” Joe told the Lights Camera Barstool podcast. “That’s something that, yes, he would have been in a branch reality and have had to have traveled back to the main timeline to give that shield to Sam Wilson.” In other words, Cap and Peggy finally danced to “It’s Been a Long, Long Time” in a branch reality, but he returned to the main timeline to hand his shield (not S.H.I.E.L.D.) to Falcon. Joe added:

“In our internal logic that we defined in the room, that was the choice that we made. Based on everything that happened, he would have been in a branch reality and then had to have shifted over to this, so jumped from one to the other and handed the shield off.”

Phew, I’m glad that’s finally solved… at least until Chris Evans returns to the MCU.

Elon Musk is becoming quite the Clubhouse power user, and he might have just scored his biggest “interview” yet. The Tesla CEO reached out to Vladimir Putin to invite the Russian president to chat on the burgeoning video chat app, and Musk surprisingly got an official response from the Kremlin. Even more surprising, the answer wasn’t “no.” According to Reuters, the Kremlin is intrigued by Musk’s offer, but they have to look into it first because, unlike his close friend Donald Trump, Putin doesn’t do social media.

“In general, this is of course a very interesting proposal, but we need to understand what is meant, what is being proposed… first we need to check, then we will react,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday. “We want to figure it out first. President Putin does not personally use social networks directly, he doesn’t have them.”

Musk got the ball rolling on Saturday when he tweeted to whoever controls Putin’s Twitter account, “Would you like [to] join me for a conversation on Clubhouse?” He then added in Russian. “It would be a great honor to speak with you.”

If Musk scores a chat with Putin, it will be his most high profile conversation on Clubhouse yet. In the meantime, Musk claims he’s locked down a chat with Kanye West, which should prove interesting given the two men’s eccentric personalities and growing rumors of West’s pending divorce from Kim Kardashian.

In a way, it almost feels like Musk is positioning himself to be the Joe Rogan of Clubhouse. The Tesla CEO is a noted fan of Rogan and was just on his podcast last week where he revealed his ambitious plans to make his next batch of cars hover. “Maybe it can hover like a meter above the ground, or something like that,” Musk told Rogan. “If you plummet it’ll blow out the suspension but you’re not gonna die.”

Rifle-toting Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert (representing Colorado) has been stirring up a ruckus on Capitol Hill, first by vowing to carry her Glock in the halls of Congress before throwing a hissy fit following the beefing up of metal detector presence after the failed MAGA coup. She was already a controversial figure in her home state, in which she owns a diner called Shooters Grill (actually located in Rifle, Colorado) and has been accused of providing a firearm to a minor staff member. And she’s got a handful of arrests under her belt, according to the Denver Post. And now, Sarah Palin 2.0 believes that she knows who to blame for the rolling blackouts affecting much of the U.S. during this historic ice and snow storm.

The freshman Congresswoman is pointing her trigger pullers at the Green New Deal, a general set of goals that hope to move the globe to net-zero emissions within decades. The “deal” also calls for affordable housing and universal health care, and so much more, like building out smarter power grids, improving transportation emissions in the U.S., and obviously, a whole ton of the deal has yet to be put into effect. Still, Boebert (along with Tucker Carlson, who ranted about the deal) is making it her mission to blame the Left for what’s happening in Texas and beyond.

Boebert isn’t here for the deal and is taking aim at Biden, who hasn’t wholly embraced the New Green Deal and has presented his own plan instead. “Rolling blackouts from ND to TX have turned into lengthy power outages in freezing conditions,” she tweeted. “Biden needs to lift his oil & gas ban as we need reliable energy sources. The Green New Deal was just proven unsustainable as renewables are clearly unreliable.”

She wasn’t done yet. “You know how you unfreeze frozen windmills?” she sarcastically inquired. “By sending up a helicopter that shoots out chemicals onto the blades. You need fuel for the helicopter. Keep that in mind when thinking how ‘green’ windmills are.”

Well, people are throwing this right back at Boebert, especially since Biden’s Interior Secretary hasn’t even been confirmed yet, so perhaps she should be asking what happened during the Trump administration. Also, there’s the issue of how nothing (not even all the fossil fuels in the world, since many power stations are down and/or frozen, despite the presence of oil and gas leases) can stop ice from forming on power lines.

Well, this debate isn’t going to be settled anytime soon, but one user posted an apparent list of Boebert’s arrests and called that the real “rolling blackout.” Yikes.
