The know nothingism, the total lack of political experience or knowledge of anything, the pathological opposition to the Democrats, the praise for Hezbollah and Hamas, the ‘America deserved 911’ shit, the open apologetics for Russia and China, the disgusting comments about women…need I continue?

For the record, I was a Swalwell supporter and had planned on voting for him in the primary. Me believing the women was not political. It's based on the corroboration of evidence confirmed by multiple news outlets, and the Manhattan DA finding enough evidence exists to open a criminal probe.

yea i feel like this is being glossed over?? like he’s admitted to at the very minimum being a creep, so why would you want him to be governor?

I would just like to reiterate that if Eric Swalwell and his attorney believe any statements that my wife and I have made are not true, he should sue us immediately. He can DM me, and I’ll let him know where to serve us. But this will never happen.

Stick 'em all in one resolution, with one or down vote. Let's see who actually believes in standards of decency versus scoring bullshit partisan political points.

As part of my efforts to combat the COVID Amnesia Project, let's accurately remember what 3 influential laptop class doctors from Stanford said 6 years ago as COVID overflowed hospitals and morgues. They won't remind you. I will. My latest.

Lying from the White House Podium is now a family tradition.

Apropos of nothing, just something I think about a lot: During the worst pandemic in a century, lots of people told a bunch of outrageous lies that caused much, much more death. It was one of the more grotesque moral crimes I've ever witnessed & zero (0) of those involved faced any consequences.

you came to the replies of a man WHOSE WIFE WAS ASSAULTED to bring up ROGER STONE and JUST ASK QUESTIONS you should learn to shut the fuck up if you don’t want blowback

I’m very proud of my wife for sharing the details she did. I’m disgusted by all of it. She found herself in one of those moments where she didn’t care what she lost if it helped one other person. The reality is the truth don’t care who tells it, but she told it. Love you @allysammarco.bsky.social

Fantastic hosting the brilliant Michael Mann @michaelemann.bsky.social for the opening keynote of the Cambridge Disinformation Summit. He spoke about intersecting risks of disinfo for climate, health, & democracy. Highly recommend his new book Science under Siege with @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social

It’s a little rough knowing how widely this is true. Even when people come forward with their own story, wanting to go public, the work it will take to get from there to publication is intense—and can honestly feel monstrous to survivors

Entirely agree. White House figures usually wait until they've left to do "if only they'd listened to me!!" apologias. Vance is doing it in real time. Reporters *must* know this, but they're playing right along.

This won't kill this technology, it just makes pharma a sector dominated by European, Chinese and Indian corporations

I am concerned about whether my alma mater will welcome back Jayanta Bhattacharya if he wanted to return from this federal service. I wrote this a week ago and have received no response at this point. 1/6

there are so many consequences of everyday people not really understanding how journalism works and people on here thinking there was some sort of massive media coverup of Eric Swalwell being a monster fundamentally is rooted in total misunderstanding of what real reporting requires.

Lol, as foretold, right there in the transcript 😄

It can't be said often enough, so I'll say it again: Solar and batteries can power the world! It's cheaper than gas (esp. at today's prices) and a lot more reliable. By 2030, solar and batteries could supply 90% of electricity to 80% of the world's population for < €80/MWh (including backup).

Ways to address the #climatecrisis with minimal resource use often result in better outcomes. The best example is mass transit & bikes, which make for better cities and fewer street deaths v. EVs. But I find it quite a stretch to think that mining is the urgent problem our civilization faces. /1

As such, I find the obsession with the harms of mineral extraction that this lefty academic and her followers have to be completely off-base and a distraction when not actively counterproductive to solving the urgent problems that are facing as a species today. /5

New: A surge in calls among Democrats to pursue Trump’s impeachment is hitting a wall with party leaders, who believe it will distract from their midterm focus on costs and corruption, according to interviews with over a dozen Democrats. Some also view 25th Amendment as a nonstarter

Odd that there has been so little mention of the fact that Bibi’s corruption trial was put on hold under emergency restrictions due to the war and is set to resume in a couple of days if a ceasefire is in place. Seems relevant!

Just recorded a great pod, and I gotta say ... solar and batteries are going to win. They are the main dish. Everything else is a side dish. In 10 years, you won't be able to find anyone who disagrees with this.

On Friday, I'm talking with a company called Zero Homes that is trying to remove some of the friction from the whole home retrofit business. They have tools that allow homeowners to create their own 3d model of their house, which can bypass several contractor visits. Got questions?

The DNC Resolutions Committee has passed my resolution to hold Trump Administration officials legally accountable for their crimes. Assuming the whole packet passes on Friday, it will become the official position of the national Democratic Party.

Astonishing that Hegseth attended these two elite schools. He can barely put a sentence together.

Pete Hegseth has cut ALL educational funds for active-duty service members at Harvard and Princeton (despite him attending these schools) in favor of Christian-affiliated colleges.

To cap off his first 100 days in office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani walked the full 6 miles home from New York City Hall last night — greeting New Yorkers along the way. 🍎

Another energy crisis - another lack of unbiased, relevant, timely ENERGY DATA for policy-making: What is possible: The US Energy Information Administration, provides among many other series granular weekly! oil&petroleum data for: refinery production, imports, exports, prices, stocks, ... 1/4

For the first time ever, heat pumps outsold gas boilers in Germany in 2025. 48% of all new heating systems installed last year were heat pumps. Gas fell to just 39%. A decade ago, heat pumps had a 7% market share. The transformation has been remarkable.

One of the absolute banes of my existence is trying to park around huge trucks that do not fit in parking spots.

Literally no one needs a 4 ton pickup with a 6 foot bed for any non-business purpose. If you aren’t growing food or building things, you can 100% get everything done with a smaller vehicle that does less damage to infrastructure and the environment. Glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks so

I once had someone complain about this take that they should be allowed to get one if they want but fuck it if I can’t get a goddamned sedan anymore, maybe they can’t get pickups.

DC scales registration cost to vehicle weight. Not enough IMO but they do

US states should require commercial licenses for vehicles above a certain size, and they should tax vehicles by weight, because road damage goes as the 4th power of weight. Neither of these things is preempted by federal law.

As an American, I'm 100% on Team 🇪🇺 here. Monster trucks don't fit on US streets, let alone European ones.

Apple's M5 Max gets 10-20x as much inference out of the same energy as a dedicated NVIDIA GPU?! Does that mean anything for datacenter electricity demand in the long run? @jgkoomey.bsky.social aiproductivity.ai/blog/apple-m...

Free newsletter: We need to talk about the inherent weirdness of the AI bubble, and how strange it is that an industry that loses billions of dollars to create few productivity benefits is described as a disruptive technology rather than an industry of WeWorks. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-really...

"Clark et al. (2016) showed that decisions made in the next few decades will lock in sea level rise, ice sheet loss, and temperature change that persist for thousands of years — well beyond any planning horizon human civilization has ever contemplated."

One of the underrated bad things about gerrymandering and Senate malapportionment is that the Dem running for the median seat is incentivized to say "I want to be a bipartisan problem solver who will work across the aisle" and the Republican running for the median seat says "Democrats are evil"

"This is what you get when you elect Republicans." Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly. Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time. Fucking say it!

"Climate change is a..." Major crisis: 52% Minor crisis: 23% Not a crisis: 16% Those who say not a crisis: GOP: 31% IND: 16% DEM: 2% Research Co. / March 24, 2026

listen folks if you're going to get mad that I, a reporter, convey information without always making my views about it explicit, that's an instant block -- you do not understand the function of journalism-as-fact-surfacing & you are part of the decay of our overall media ecosystem

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

just getting hit with the reality that i spent the last four months fully immersed in a project and took on no client work and responded to no RFPs. and I am moving and having a quince for the kid this month. and paid my taxes. 😭 if you need a narrative or digital strategist, or a designer…hi!

I, too, want a magic "stop-this-now" button. I'm sorry everyone but it doesn't exist. Voters handed the government to Republicans. Elections. Have. Consequences. Yep, it FUCKING sucks. I know, it's terrifying and I wish we Americans would have made a different choice.

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

I drank a toast to Stanislav Petrov.
