Looks longingly at Florida Avenue canal

The sound of the entire @indivisiblenola meeting booing Eugene Green, Oliver Thomas and their super-powered surveillance ordinance is literally music to my ears! 🎵🎶🎶

Mary Hunt, the forgotten mother of penicillin.

This whole thread, combining facts, fairness, and a sense of humor. (“Not to be flippant but evolution did see to it that we're really good at getting food off of trees & bushes. We have a rather meaningful several-million-year head start over the robots here.”)

The situation in DTLA to which 700 Marines have been deployed is a couple dozen interfaith clergypersons leading a small crowd in prayer.

Lol just heard the NPR story about the DOGE guy who lost his job when he said he was surprised at how hard it was to find inefficiencies in the federal govt because he came from Silicon Valley where companies always have lots of people sitting around doing nothing

something that stands out about this is just how cheap it is for us to have world-leading scientific capacity we spent ~6.75 trillion last year, and the combined budgets for NIH, NSF and NASA are barely more than 1% of that what an incredible waste to lose it all for a drop in the bucket

If only the state could invest in some sort of technology that would help power the city on a sunny, windy day like today...

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?

#50501 protest at Jackson Square in New Orleans 4/19/25 #NOLAsky

Building a mass movement (instead of a subculture) will require a lot of cringe, so get comfortable with it

Thousands at Lafayette Square, New Orleans for #HandsOff #NOLAsky

Totally peaceful, but never demure. #TeslaTakedown protests at the New Orleans Tesla service center get covered by #AP and #TheGuardian. #NOLAsky www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Lots support at the first #TeslaTakedown in New Orleans #NOLAsky.

Let's just all agree to call renewables "domestic energy security" for the next four years.

Hundreds turn out to #standupforscience New Orleans #NOLAsky.

This whole thread, from the department of bad-but-maybe not-as-bad-as-it-we-thought-it-might-be news. Things are grim but the clean energy transition is unstoppable. Every tenth of a degree matters. We can keep pushing.

This thread.

Good morning with good news: SMECI in Texas will convert its 410 MW coal plant to 400 MW solar & 200 MW batteries! Solar & batteries will operate by 2027! The coal plant would have run to 2037! The IRA funds a $1.4 billion grant for this conversion. bauaelectric.com/news/one-of-... #energysky

Coal's share of Texas's electricity plunged from 37% in 2000 to 13% in 2023. How? Mainly by huge growth of wind, solar and batteries. What about gas? Interestingly gas was 51% of Texas's electricity in 2000 and still 51% in 2023. Gas has not been replacing coal in Texas. W&S&B have. #energysky
