Climate change is a bummer on steroids, but rising to the challenge can actually be uplifting--at least I've found it to be so. Today, UBC professors @dunnhappylab.bsky.social & @jiayingzhao.bsky.social launched the first-ever book on how to make climate action joyful. May the joy be with you!

They've adopted the Action News theme as their national anthem already

It’s hard to articulate but the World Cup in Philly is amazing. Back in the Vet days, Philly didn’t get to host *anything.* Sports or otherwise. Live Aid was like the one thing. Even the Bicentennial was ruined because Rizzo scared people away It’s a world class city and now it’s acting like it

started >>> going

may we remember speaker hortman every time a kid in Minnesota eats their free lunch. every time a trans person moves to mn for safety. when an undocumented person gets their driver’s license or a returning citizen gets to vote. when we have clean energy and electric school buses and warm homes.

Not believing in science really comes back to bite you, doesn’t it?

Everyone who is scared of cities and multiculturalism is a loser.

“Scots discovering tailgating” could be a real Prometheus stealing fire moment

I know I’m only the ten thousandth person to share this, but it still warms my heart. www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/...

I thought the world cup was going to be a nightmare, but I forgot that we actually love when people like us

this.

It’s worth noting how, when celebrations break out and emotions are overwhelming, people often turn to the arts—in these cases, to live music—because nothing else is as satisfying or feels big enough.

we have solar. i just looked, my bill this month is on track to be about $8. i live in virginia and this includes charging an EV.

I may frame this.

Over and over, we learn that the reason some problems persist is that they are legitimately difficult to solve, not that expertise is the pits.

For the first time ever, in May, solar (12.8%) provided more electricity than coal (12.2%) in the US. This comes as the renewable transition faces obstruction from the Trump administration. By Tik Root for @grist.org:

A friendly request for our fellow journalists covering the World Cup: Make the climate connection when you're reporting on this year’s historic extreme heat — and help fans understand why their favorite teams and players excelled or languished during this year’s tournament.

It’s been a minute since I brought a solar panel to a statehouse. Felt good. www.linkedin.com/posts/brendo...

"the bill would reduce monthly fruit and vegetable benefits from $52 to $13 for breastfeeding mothers and from $26 to $10 for young children."

Just imagine the freedom to lie with impunity.

It’s all so dumb.

Imagine the pure joy of getting to write this www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

Dude gets optics.

Bananas were (famously!) introduced to the United States at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, learn some history MLB!

This is such a great story. The path to greatness is not easy. It just looks like it. Sharing with my kids.

Shout out to @lindaholmes.bsky.social for some of the best Phillies takes.

(People trying to pick on Marsh for the throw to the plate are embarrassing. Orel Hershiser pointed out that it’s impossible to have a streak like that if your defense isn’t playing a huge role. Those guys in the outfield saved and protected that streak a bunch of times; don’t be that person.)

When these electric school buses park for the summer, they’ll still be staying busy. Here’s how their batteries will help provide cleaner, cheaper power in Massachusetts. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/ev-charging/massachusetts-evs-feeding-grid

Few people ever find a niche passion that intersects with a niche talent and at an age when they’re unapologetic about both. Before the world says “you should be embarrassed.” He’s gonna end up being a world renowned ornithological researcher or educator.

Welp there’s no unseeing this

Hate to admit how pretty the AppleTV Phillies broadcast is. Is it better than the Phillies announcers? Absolutely not.

Geno’s definitely is not the best, though.

Look at this urban hellscape.

Good stuff. Relevant. Authentic. Just a smidge hopeful.

one of my favorite facts about the US coal industry is that it employs less people than Broadway

I read things like this, and the only thought I have is: “I’m sorry you have known so many jerks and so few people who want to be decent, but that’s something you can change in your own life without involving everybody else.”

NEW | Wind and solar just produced more electricity than gas globally for the first month on record In April, they produced 531 TWh (22%), compared with 477 TWh (20%) for gas. Wind and solar generation has more than doubled in the last five years.

Coal companies literally blow the top of mountains off to mine it and yall complaining about solar farms.

Great point. One of the big splits between tech/finance sector and general population.

Fun to watch the old world crumble.

#DataCenters #EnergySky #EconSky Matt's got some numbers. Pretty much every #localnews operation is working on data center cost stories and this can be of help!

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

Pakistan: solar just overtook coal as the largest single source of electricity. 21% of power from solar in 2025. Up from 2% in 2019. Coal peaked at 20% in 2020. Want to read more about one of the fastest solar transitions anywhere in the world? Sign up to my Substack janrosenow.substack.com

it is my favorite time of the year, i.e., when my solar panels mean that my monthly power bill is < $10. we also just got a level 2 charger installed for the car, and as i’m thinking of doing some more serious renos to the house, i may get more panels installed + a battery. fully green house baybee
