If you yell at a specific person, you have to say you’re sorry to a specific person.

Side note: “onomatopology” and “anticipointment” are two of my favorite words to come out of Pop Culture Happy Hour.

Update: The US Auto industry has retreated from EVs. That strategy will relegate them to the domestic market only or to extinction. The world is shifting to EVs. Global sales of fully internal combustion engine vehicles peaked in 2017. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 Paywalled link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace... I think what’s going on in our country — what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad." - Charles Barkley on CBS

Just amazing stuff from @statesnewsroom.com today.

Immediately following anybody making jokes about Bohm’s parents.

Missed you, PhilliesSky.

Oh dang. #phillies

Yes, but bring back the Bulls BBQ smoked turkey leg. #openingday www.axios.com/local/philad...

Two of my favorite things — public transit and solar — combined. Props to @septaphilly.bsky.social. And to @axios.com News Philly for covering. wwww.septa.org/news/epaper-...

Today’s Daily Cartoon, by Ivan Ehlers.

Squeezed by data centers' relentless demand for electricity, a Nevada energy company just said it's going to stop supplying energy to Tahoe. The city has a year to figure out how to meet 75% of its energy needs without it.

Streetsblog USA is hiring a Summer Intern for a part-time, fully remote internship! Priority will be given to candidates with talent for producing and curating original short-form video content and partnerships with video creators relevant to our mission. Applications are due by April 15.

I mean, the entire internet is worse than it was 15 years ago, which seems like an insane thing to say and and even more insane thing to be true

The Pentagon said the Iran war cost $11 billion in the first week. But it's way way way more than that. Hundreds of billions more. Your family's share is thousands of dollars. And I've got receipts. Lemme youtubesplain: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCF_...

For anyone who doesn't vote because they think they're vote won't count, this one's for you. @votesolar.bsky.social @environmentalvoter.bsky.social @vot-er-org.bsky.social @lcv.org @lwvus.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

it's deeply embarrassing that team usa is treating the wbc like a military operation while every other team is just having a lot of fun

China is highly dependent on Middle Eastern oil and gas. But its pivot to electrification and clean energy is helping protect the country from the fallout of the war in Iran.

Ubiquitously advertised betting available through the computer you carry in your pocket via apps designed and managed by ruthlessly efficient data scientists and programmers seems like a mistake. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Old enough to remember when 42 degrees felt warm (last week).

Never has south Philly’s baseball allegiances been tested like tonight.

Good news: the state of Kentucky set a state record and doubled its solar energy in 2025. Kentucky jumped from 40th to 11th in U.S. state rankings for solar energy installed in just two years. Nice work!

Three years into the Generative AI era, cheating is rising in schools and we have to be honest about it. Neither techno-utopians nor blue-book nostalgists have useful answers. Here's what we're actually trying at SLA — and why it feels so fragile right now.

I accidentally read this as “exomorons” and might run with it. No disrespect to the original authors. Or exomoons, for that matter.

🔔 Government officials are citing journalism as "doxxing" to threaten press freedom. Join our webinar with @telliotter.bsky.social, @royalpratt.bsky.social, @sovernnation.bsky.social, and @charlie4change.bsky.social to learn more. 🗓️ March 4, 2 pm ET RSVP: freedom.press/journalism-isnt-doxxing

I spend a lot of time sad about the state of my country as much as the anger comes across as the primary feeling. Something that perpetually eats at me is that every kid in America cannot sit down in front of the television and just watch Sesame Street and learn and smile anymore.

I bet this will be great! @emorwee is, age aside, a true veteran of these wars!

These schools went solar – and the savings will pay for teachers electrek.co/2026/02/25/t... #uspoli #abpoli #skpoli

Trump referred to voting as a "privilege" rather than a right. It's generally "voting rights," not "voting privileges."

@lindaholmes.bsky.social posting about #phillies spring training gives me great joy.

Fun thread and an even better experiment linked at the end

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “For those patients who have simply disappeared, we are left to wonder whether they are hiding at home, detained, deported or dead.” Three medical providers recount what it’s like caring for patients amid President Trump’s immigration crackdown.

They are putting the exhibits back up about the people George Washington enslaved at the President’s House site at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia and someone is playing “Fight the Power” and “Celebration.” It feels like such a relief to see humanity, history & sanity prevail.

On Feb. 4, Matt Selman, The Simpsons EP, texted Christine Nangle with an idea. Their friend, Dan McQuade, planned to write about their Philly-themed episode. But he passed away before he could do so. Selman and Nangle decided to add him to it — days before it aired www.inquirer.com/sports/dan-m...

Love me some plug & play solar. It’s easy, fast, safe, and doesn’t depend on permitting or infrastructure.

As pointed out here, it’s a consistent pattern across Trump departments to compel compliance through the threat of constraint without having to go to the trouble of actually carrying through on it

Super excited about this... I'm hiring a video editor to help bring economics to a mass audience (yes, really). If you're thoughtful, creative, and want to make complex ideas accessible, I'd love to see your work. Apply here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Or share with your most amazing mates!

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

Absolutely love this video of two 50 y-o women attempting every Winter Olympic sport (and laughing throughout). This is the #Joy we need to cultivate in our lives. youtu.be/LtwjMsJoOZc?...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Far beyond just saving riders money, free buses deliver a cascade of benefits, from easing traffic to promoting public safety,” Emily Galvin Almanza writes. “And it doesn’t have to be costly — in fact, it can come out just about even.”

HERE FOR THIS.

Going to be a lot of very athletic multi-national babies named Cortina soon.

We’ll always have the blog post on false-front jerseys. Just top notch journalism. Canon, even. Good hustle, @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social.

Pretty much the most important thing happening in the world right now. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...

Affordability isn’t just a progressive talking point, it’s about making smart choices and meeting the needs of the communities we serve! Building a clean energy future is the most just, cost effective path; it’s also the way forward to a robust, resilient energy system for the modern economy
