If billionaires actually cared about climate change they would fund green banks in every state as well as a national green bank. It should be done by the federal government but this is easily the easiest thing for a billionaire to do to step in right now.

The ham sandwich joke writes itself

A kinda cool, accidental/pocket shot I took this morning.

Has anything slowed the energy transition more than the interconnection queue? Not even interest rates have been so devastating to goal of moving quickly and fixing things. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/economy/clea...

@dahlialithwick.bsky.social hearing you say “raw dog it out” while doing dishes was not on my Sunday night bingo card, but here we are.

People who have the means and acumen to own / drive BEVs but choose ICE cars anyways are sinners and deserve harsh judgement. Related: Subaru drivers are the worst because 75% fall into this category.

@zeteo.com is some of the best content on the web these days.

Extremely easy prediction to make: JD Vance will quickly become persona non grata in Trump orbit. The broligarchs are being way too overt about wanting Trump out and JD in. Easy to get rid of your DOGEdaddy but not a VP. Will be so ugly.

This, but they are the same. A white South African doesn’t just go killing millions of people without dabbling in Nazi salutes first.

This part is not getting enough attention and it’s freaking me out.

Oops. I harvested too much sun last year. #solar #netmeter

Finally, here’s the Potomac near Harper’s Ferry. The river is ANGRY. It’s raging toward DC to seek revenge against anyone who weakened NOAA, EPA, the Clean Water Act, or the Waters of the United States.

My sourdough game has gotten pretty good. Made these yesterday and holy mole. Bangin. www.friendinknead.com/post/sourdou...

White noise, but the sounds of a bubbly sourdough starter.

Ok I read @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social’s Everything is Tuberculosis. Fantastic, heartbreaking and important. What book should I read next?

On Thursday my heat pump and hp water heater were installed. On Friday I called my utility and asked to disconnect my gas service. Guess what happened next: The representative *thanked and complemented me* for fully electrifying. Many issues with utilities but BGE must be one of the best.

These two at the helm of the NIH is a crime against humanity.

Today at our highest court, America’s Taliban (so-called Conservatives) argued that because slavery is allowed in certain religions a parent should be able to opt out from school curricula that moralizes that “slavery is bad.” Truly abhorrent. #scotus

“Should be” he kept re-reading and muttering. “Should be.”

“Then they came for my alma mater’s tax exempt status, and by that time I had relished so much in the authoritarianism they showed everyone else there was no one left to help me offset my capital gains.”

My baby brother is a therapist and also the biggest TV/film nerd I know. So he’s merging these two things on TikTok and educating people about therapy through a pop culture lens. Please follow him and boost his account! I want more people to see how much of a gem he is! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjNL78TN/

Next week our home will be net-zero(ish). A Daikin/Goodman heat pump will replace our 24 year old furnace/AC and Rheem heat pump water heater will replace our nat gas unit. With our net excess from rooftop solar all loads will consume less than we produce. “Ish” because of time match, embedded, etc.

Now is a great time to SELL

Breadwinner.life is super cool. I know I'm a few years late, but congrats @fredbenenson.com on making a neat and helpful little product.

I am a Tesla owner. I’m not going to sell it and lose tens of thousands of dollars to make a political statement — that hurts me and helps no one. I *do* have an idea about how *good* Tesla owners can fight back and hurt Elon but need a trademark lawyer to collaborate with. If that’s you, hit me up.

Great news. AO Smith and Rheem need the competition… and this gets us closer to a single contractor to decarbonize 90%+ of residential loads (right now you need to coordinate with plumbers and HVAC).

Why do they call a gender reveal party a gender reveal party when at most it’s a probable gender reveal party and better called a sex party?

A PhD to the person who proves STOP2End actually encourages them to text you more.

I wrote about Trump's executive order, and the inclusion of XRP and ADA in some strategic reserve, and why this should raise uncomfortable questions for people who are actually in the industry. Read the whole thing here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Well said. A strategic financial reserve in anything but USD is also deeply anti-American. It reveals in the clearest terms possible that they want America to fail.

Would anyone interested in thermal energy storage of low grade heat; for space heating, cooling and DHW; want to collaborate developing a novel heat/mass exchanger? The mechanical design should work, but it requires a control system that's out of my depth. @kevinjkircher.com any suggestions?

Hi, broken record here. The same degraded information environment that led to Trump being elected is still in place. Most people still aren't being told what's happening, who's at fault, or what the effects will be. And there's zero reason to think traumatic events will "wake people up."

BRB, submitting a series of WaPo op-eds on the personal liberty to get an abortion and how oligarchs strangle free markets.

The bedroom is thankful for the first day with windows open in a long while.

The American Right be like “let’s block minors old enough to marry from making medical decisions with their parents and doctors” meanwhile performing mass genital mutilation on all 1 day old males because some random sheep herder had a schizophrenic episode on a mountain top 6,000 years ago. Pedos.

Powerful. The Czech people have stood with Ukraine from day one—with courage, with compassion, and with conviction. Grateful to Czech leadership and all who continue to defend freedom and democracy. Děkuji! https://www.expats.cz/czech-news/article/photos-thousands-rally-for-ukraine-on-prague-s-old

Do I know any lawyers who would want to collaborate on a project? I have the concepts of a plan for a political non-profit (a PAC? A c6? C3?) to bring it to Elon and get the message out about the oligarchs trying to destroy America. Ideally it would be someone who has some experience with trademarks

Some 40 years ago I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I read in a piece in the New York Review how the USSR's Glavlit had ordered a marine biology PhD thesis on colonial polyps to remove the word "colonial" because it wasn't nice to call polyps colonial.

starting to believe that the people who campaigned to usher in a millennia of white supremacist fascist oligarchy were not as committed to the principle of free speech as the media had led voters to believe

Enrage conservatives with this one simple trick

1000% They have tried to make DEI an epithet and strangely synonymous with lowering the bar. Don’t give them this.
