The US added ~8GW of storage per year on average over the past decade. And that rate is increasing with time. The percent change for the projected increase from 1 GW to 88GW in 2027 works out to: 100*(88-1)/1 = 8700% 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋

Love this album! Holds up, too.

The funniest part about yesterday's SCOWIS election results is that Chris Taylor got more votes than Maria Lazar in Chippewa County. Why is that funny? Because Susan Crawford lost to Brad Schimel in Chippewa County in 2025. And we grew up in Chippewa Falls!! 😆

Polls are open until 8 p.m. Vote!

Converting carbon dioxide to hydrocarbons could become a cleaner alternative to producing fossil fuels. Now, a team of researchers has envisioned a strategy using “molecular fences” to trap reaction intermediates, increasing the conversion rates and energy efficiency of the process. #chemsky 🧪

Getting journalists like John over here more permanently is the one thing bluesky can do to surpass its counterparts. And it seems like a fix that's doable, @toni.bsky.team . They want to be here.

I really want to share things here on Bluesky the way I do on Twitter but the video uploading is so horrible that I can't. It either takes forever or there are issues with format ... it's always something. Until this place fixes these issues, people like me can't fully embrace the platform.

Whatever World This Is That We're In Now Problems: let me read a couple of stories first before you throw up the paywall, to see if I like the vibes?

It's still wild to see the rates that young people are getting colon cancer (and a sign that we are winning the battle against other cancers in young people) Go get that colonoscopy (it's fun!)🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/colo...

Publicly, New Hampshire didn't join when the multi-state Northeast Public Health Collaborative formed in the wake of major federal changes to the public health apparatus. Privately, the story is more complicated. From @willskipworth.bsky.social #NHPolitics

Beset by techbro-ness and other startup difficulties, billion dollar vertical farming startups couldn't overcome the challenge that @tamarhaspel.bsky.social and others have pointed out for years: they're just too expensive compared to other options www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/b... 🧪

Alexander Jentsch of Brookhaven National Lab, presenting at #APSSummit26 on plans for a new Electron-Ion Collider, notes that the EIC has been under discussion since 2002, when he was in middle or high school. “That gives you an idea of how long we think about things before we build them." ⚛️🧪

In How-To Wisconsin, we do that annoying internet thing where we explain how to do something fairly simple, but precede it with a needlessly long personal story.

Sam Hauser has never averaged <40% on threes in a season. His average through 66 games sits at 38.6%. Assuming he plays out the C's remaining 13 games, and averages the same 3's shot per game (6.66), Sam would have to make 41 more threes (at a 47% clip) to finish at 40% on the year. #NBASky

Great science story about how "willpower" isn't a real tool kids can use and that less access to stuff that's bad for you (put the phone in another room; don't buy the package of donuts) is a better solution. And I bet it works for grownups, too. 🧪

"Driverless" cars often have human operators who step in to control the vehicles remotely. Those remote operators face novel challenges, and regulations haven't caught up. How do you ensure the operators are alert? How many vehicles can one person operate? 🧪🚗 (Short 🧵)

A most interesting fact from this story: Miami has little chance at an at large bid, so they *have* to win the MAC tourney to get in. Tipoff against UMass at Rocket Arena Thursday 11 EDT

I manage to mention an excellent #scicomm resource @theopennotebook.bsky.social (and its killer stance on AI submissions) and fantastic #NBAsky beat writer @noadalzell.bsky.social's podcasting skills in the same story. open.substack.com/pub/marvelou...

No complaints about Graber’s leadership but can’t help but wonder if there was a missed opportunity in incentivizing journalists and celebs/influencers to come (and stay) here.

This is fantastic #journalism, my friends:

The late 60s/early 70s era of jazz/funk/soul is endlessly fascinating because of all the bifurcations and marriages that occurred. @jeremyerwin.bsky.social captures it well talkin about Zawinul in @aquariumdrunkard.com aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/02/24/j...

Online betting sites shouldn’t be able to advertise. You should have to learn about them through your unreliable uncle or your friend’s older brother who should really be hanging out with people his own age.
