I’m thrilled about the win in VA but a lot of the “haha they never expected us to fight back!” posters need to take another moment and ask themselves why that is

gotta love libs fessing up that gerrymandering is in fact explicitly about punishment and disenfranchisement

Two things can be true: Congress should pass uniform, national legislation reining in partisan gerrymandering; and Until that happens, or every state adopts an independent redistricting commission, neither party is going to (or, frankly, should) unilaterally disarm.

THREAD: The IEA global energy review 2026 * CO2 record high, but growth nearly ground to halt * Clean energy shaved 3bn tonnes off CO2 * Fossil-fuel power pushed into reverse * Age of Electricity "confirmed" * "Extraordinary" solar growth * Batteries up 40% * EVs up 20% 1/10

Global energy-related CO2 emissions reached a new record high, but growth nearly ground to a halt (+0.5%) CO2 fell in China, India and the EU, while rising in the US 7/10

Battery storage is now the fastest-growing power technology in the world * 108GW added in 2025, up 40% year-on-year * 11x increase in installed capacity since 2021 (!) 6/10

Aside from Florida, nearly the entire contiguous U.S. has experienced earlier than average first plant blooms in 2026. Earlier springs can cause longer allergy seasons, accelerate wildfire risk, increase pests/mosquitoes, and lead to less reliable snow-fed water. Map: www.usanpn.org/data/maps/sp...

Many govts hope capturing carbon from power plants burning wood will cause "negative emissions." New Nature Sust. paper today finds this likely increases emissions for decades, generates no negative emissions within 150 years, and increase electricity costs ~3.5-fold. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Does anyone in the Atlanta area know of an apartment complex, business, or other place where these Unitree dogs are out and about surveilling stuff? Please don't just search Google, looking for people who've actually seen them recently. 🙏🏻

Batteries won the war.

i’d been putting off sitting down to read james’ new book because i don’t know a lot about myanmar or rojava or the spanish civil war & i was worried my lack of subject matter knowledge would be a barrier…. that was so silly of me. listen to him read the first chapter. it’s so heart breakingly good.

Look, for my money the absolute game changer technologies right now are batteries and biosciences, not statistically modeling a mid conversation, but you do you.

Pretty extraordinary that the U.S. is experiencing its worst March drought on record, worse even than the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s. Drought is the most dangerous threat of climate change.

Valley Health is cutting services and changing staffing contracts, citing financial pressure tied to the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” The health system says the move reflects broader strain on hospitals as federal policy shifts impact funding and operations. virginiamercury.com/2026/04/17/v...

Severe drought has expanded into parts of DC area as record heat and low humidity increase the fire risk. The latest US Drought Monitor, released Thu AM, shows S&E portions of the region in Severe Drought. That's one level worse than the Moderate Drought most of the region was under a week ago.

Bad news - in 2015 when the Paris Agreement was signed, the world was following a trajectory to 4-5C by 2100. I'd add a link to my NCA chapter where we did this analysis, but the admin has taken it offline. Good news - today, we're headed to 2.7C by 2100. Still too high: but a lot better than 4-5C.

Bad news - we'll soon blow through the carbon budget for stabilizing global temperature at 1.5C Good news - progress on clean energy suggests it is possible to stabilize by 2C www.nature.com/articles/s41... What does the science say? Neither is a magic threshold. Every bit of warming matters.

haha fuck you dawg
