The EV adoption cycle is as follows almost always 1) evs are a fad 2) evs are fine but I’d miss the feel of a real car too much 3) I’ll try an ev 4) wait…I love this? 5) Let me tell you all about ev’s, friend

Hey, the Raptors are fun again.

UK stops some intelligence sharing with US over boat strikes in Caribbean

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

Imagine having to work without pay for 40 days and the only thing that came out of it was a ban on weed drinks.

If Sarah Kendzior is indeed blocked on @bsky.app, this is a completely unjustified and highly questionable move. Sarah Kendzior is among the best voices of knowledge-based critical journalism in the US. See to it that this is corrected immediately and with an apology, @pfrazee.com!

Wtaf @bsky.app ?!?! This is reason alone to strongly consider leaving this place.

the amount of people who will say something like "they went to tech so you know they're smart" YALL math science engineering is a certain kind of skill that some ppl study but lolll plz do not defer to stem folks on all the things, just on stem things

Ever wonder what a river journey designed by Salvador Dalí and directed by Rod Serling would feel like? The rules of reality? They've checked out. Your only anchor is a sentient houseboat navigating a world where art, memory, and people simply vanish. #SciFiMystery Link: shorturl.at/Zgt8Y

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars": ".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great." @variety.com $DIS variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Jannik Sinner is a cheat code

When you switch from fossil to clean you only use like 30-40% of the energy to do the same stuff, bc most energy from fossil fuels is lost as waste heat What's I'm trying to say is that all climate action is degrowth WELCOME TO DEGROWTH EVERYONE

A historic turning point for clean heating in Europe: For the first time, in the first half of 2025 sales of heat pumps in Germany have surpassed those of gas boilers. This is a big milestone, demonstrating that the transition away from fossil fuels in our buildings is not just a future ambition.

one thing i find crazy-making is the idea that getting rid of the filibuster would make congress a purely majoritarian institution. bicameralism itself is counter-majoritarian! equal state representation is counter-majoritarian! the fact that senate elections are staggered is counter-majoritarian!

Weird that they could find a billionaire to give money to the Pentagon but not one to supplement SNAP* * not weird I know

Yet another record breaking storm supersized by a warming world 😢 Climate change doesn’t create these storms: it makes them worse. They intensify faster, reach higher strengths and dump more rain. That’s why climate action isn’t just about saving the planet: it’s quite literally about saving US.

A beautiful morning in Toronto. Our first snow of the season.

This is really important. The main thing that makes it hard to achieve integrated nature and green in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed and integrated density of people & buildings you achieve, the fewer cars you need or want.

Look out for Elena next year her game has risen again. Super impressive!

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Hey, hey, this premiered tonight on Apple TV. My husband and a whole lotta friends of mine spent the last few years making it. It’s very good. You should check it out.

Such a nice gesture and very much appreciated. Thank you!🇨🇦👏

What a banger

Vince Gilligan's PLURIBUS premieres today on Apple TV, and it's hard to overstate how fascinated the Polygon crew has been with this show. It's addictive, it's startling, and it's easily the biggest discussion-starter series I've seen in 2025. I'm hoping it takes off like SEVERANCE. It deserves to.

Although we're not where we should be, we're on a significantly better trajectory than we were 10 years ago.

Thank you, @possiblegrenade.bsky.social!

Ruth can't move "Chris's Steakhouse," but she knows her worth, and she knows that for nearly a decade she's been the face of this place. So she moves to that new location, and just to make sure everyone knows this is the woman who's been serving them steak? She calls it "Ruth's Chris Steakhouse"

Since the 2020-21 season, the Toronto Raptors never ranked higher than 26th in half-court offense. So far this season, they are 5th. (via @keerthikau.bsky.social) #NBA

establishment journalism's abject failure to express that this man has absolutely no idea how anything works should never be forgiven or forgotten

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Democracies tend to have lower levels of corruption

The boyfriend of a friend of my son's has spent several weeks in a psych ward due to Chat GPT induced psychosis. He isn't suicidal but AI encouraged him down a toxic and paranoid wormhole until he became completely delusional. Evil stuff.

China is “reshaping the world’s energy outlook, geopolitics and its capacity to limit the catastrophic effects of #climatechange”, says @economist.com - "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than US makes from exporting fossil fuels' $ www.economist.com/leaders/2025...
