wind chimes in the rain

An unusually cold and strong early season storm will affect most of California over next 2 days. As rain sweeps southward, expect mountain snow, locally gusty winds, and a progressively higher chance of thunderstorms from north to south from SF Bay Area to LA region. #CAwx

Friends and comrades made a crowdfunding page for my family. It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support. Thank you for your consideration.

Who's doing rigorous analysis on the effects of data centers on economic, health, energy, and climate outcomes? #econsky #energysky #climatesky

Happy to share my new personal website! I'm available for speaking engagements, esp. related to my academic and post-ac career trajectory as a humanities/social science scholar working in national lab and policy spaces, possibly of interest to grad students/ECRs. Get in touch! www.matthenryphd.com

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened. This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

Has anyone seen a solid source on actual job creation or economic growth related to data centers? We're getting better numbers in some places on resource use, but hard to find anything concrete around the argument that they are economic boons.

California made history in 2025. 🌞⚡ Solar is now the state’s #1 electricity source, overtaking gas (83.1 vs 81.6 TWh). In under a decade, solar surged from marginal to dominant. Big kudos to California—proof the clean energy future is not capacity, it’s generation. More to come! #EnergyTransition

We’re flattered they love us so much and want to be associated with our awesome brand. But it would be nice if they had reached out to us and perhaps shared some of the profit since we are a public transit agency in financial crisis.
