The three players in this photo: 1. Nigerian heritage, grew up in England, and is only a citizen thanks to birthright citizenship. 2. Born + raised in Holland, has a dad who immigrated to the US from Suriname. 3. Said he wanted to “make people who look like me proud” while playing on Juneteenth

lol

What exactly are you expecting municipal government to do? This is federal land, administered by the NPS, Burgum and the White House. Our city is already uniquely disadvantaged against Feds, why not direct your anger towards the people actually responsible for this?

One thing that is both true and very much not discussed: decarbonization tech has to compete with traditional industry on product cost and on finance. For the former, we’re getting there (see the LCOE of renewables if you want to understand where cement and steel are headed).

Schlossberg explicitly opposes DC statehood. Stay in New York and dream about your cousin killing brain cancer research there.

Just blown away with how beautiful and fun Montreal has been. 50/50 chance that whomever greets me, and I respond in my terrible French, immediately switches to English (tough, but fair). Local news just did a segment on Pierre-Luc Dubois, as if I needed more reason to love this city.

Reactionary panics dressed up as environmentalism are bad, it’s why we don’t have way more nuclear power

If you like this post, consider supporting DC statehood. We are federally taxed and yet have no federal representation. The more folks that join my beautiful city (from wherever you were born, it doesn’t matter), the more folks we have to advocate for democratic representation we desperately need.

There are 8 billion Washingtonians, just not all of you have moved here yet. Move here, experience pure bliss (Tapori), and I, a born and raised District Dude, will personally deliver a halfsmoke and DC flag to your doorstep. Welcome home, neighbor.

I can think of at least one

LOVE YOU 🏳️‍⚧️❤️🏳️‍🌈

Touching grass (mountain)

The DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee convened this morning to begin hearing directly from state parties vying for the 4 or 5 early spots on the 2028 presidential primary calendar. The panel's going through states by region and alphabetically within regions. So far they've heard pitches from DE & NH. 1/

This is a great point. ‘Ineffective altruism’ describes like 99% of climate startups (not mine though, our success is guaranteed, I say through gritted teeth) Most of us will fail, but does that mean the tech we are developing or the spotlight we put on carbon heavy industry is worthless?

this is what some of you look like in short sleeve button-up shirts

I had heard that DC was piloting stamped concrete sidewalks, but this is my first time seeing it in the wild! No shade to my Brick Brethren, but stamped concrete is a better alternative. Cheaper on every front and, most importantly, more resilient. That means ease of access for ppl w/ disabilities

This past year and a half has been the biggest and most compelling argument for DC statehood I've ever seen. People in any of the 50 states would never fucking tolerate what ppl in DC have been forced to bc they dont have a state government.

"Trump’s policies will add an extra seven billion tonnes of emissions to the atmosphere through 2030 compared to the U.S. Paris Agreement target. Using the Biden EPA’s own social cost of carbon, that will result in $1.6 trillion in global climate damages." (from @leahstokes.bsky.social)

Am I doing a shitty job of sharing cement and concrete decarb updates? There are certain things I can’t post about without remaining anonymous, but I really do try to give the broadest possible understanding of what the global industry is doing and why we are doing it Time for a new cement thread

You guys are tourists. You know nothing about politics. You know nothing about policy. You know nothing about campaigns You saw a post/read a headline, suddenly you have a fully formed understanding of the Democratic Party Nuance? No, I saw the Colosseum and immediately knew why Roman cement sucks

Inside of you are two wolves: Ovi consuming uranium levels of caloric density, including soda during actual games Or Connor McBrady poking a small spoon into a mound of a gray paste-substance, designed to keep astronauts fed as they travel to Mars

“Here [Congress’] ignorance of District affairs has often shown itself so egregious and glaring that it could excite nothing but laughter, if tears were not often a more fitting recognition of the folly.”

Gift article, this is one hell of a yarn

Great read (and supremely depressing) on the impacts of Biden’s IRA. Emissions were expected to decline as much as 48% by 2035. That means fewer preventable deaths, fewer kids with asthma, and much cleaner air. Instead we’re getting an increase in annual energy costs: “$68 to $430 per household”

I’m doing my part (eating as much plastic as possible)

Hi neighbors! I'm a new bot (created by @aru.io) that'll let you look up the DC tickets associated with license plate numbers. Just @ me with the details. For example: @dc.baddrivers.lol VA SZP9141 It may take a few minutes for the lookup to occur. Send all feedback and bug reports @aru.io's way.

This is just so infuriatingly stupid. Every time they post about oil prices, I know I am going to read Dune-sized brain worms. The Democratic Party enacted the largest investment in clean climate in global history. The Republican Party repealed the IRA. Not a single Democrat voted to do so.

How can you not be romantic about hockey?

When you get mad my posts, just know that this is who you’re getting mad at

A fictional scene. King Charles: "Why do these D.C. license plates say 'End Taxation Without Representation'?" Guide: "Well, your majesty, it's because they're taxed and unrepresented." Charles: "Wait, like we did to America before it broke free?" Guide: "Yes." Charles: "Ironic, no?"

Me describing Luna to people who have never met her: So imagine a series of triangles that look ferocious, but are actually marshmallow

I’m not sure that non-industry folk understand the magnitude of investment that data center developers are pouring into decarb tech right now. Those dollars scale barely proven, lab tech into something you can deploy in mass around the world. Clean data centers are how we drive global change.

44% of Americans are very worried about climate change — among the highest levels since 1989 — and 63% believe the US government is not taking enough environmental action, the highest since @Gallup.com started polling the question in 1992.

I cannot tell you how many policy conversations I’ve been privy to where the central dilemma is “we need to incentivize private actors to do something, but for unclear reasons they cannot be permitted to earn any sort of profit by doing it.“

Cool story covering Biomason, a Danish clean cement startup. I am absolutely stealing some of Pogue’s generic messaging (we consume 12 Hoover Dam’s worth of concrete EVERY SINGLE DAY) If you lined up all those concrete mixing trucks, they would stretch from DC all the way to Seattle

Touching grass [ocean]

look I support NSF but I don’t think they should have been funding a decades-long chimpanzee civil war

Aliaksei is just shy of 12 ft tall. When you go to Caps games you can see his head is way over the glass when he’s skating/on the ice Sometimes he’ll make direct eye contact with fans and whispers to them: “I will grow”

This could’ve been me and my brother If we were collectively like 300 pounds heavier, 2 feet taller, and also generational hockey talents

What a beautiful moment.

Seattle cut a million tons of emissions just by letting people live closer together — no subsidies, no mandates. San Diego's housing shortage pushes people further out, which means more driving and more emissions. Building more homes is climate policy. www.sightline.org/2026/02/12/s...

i wonder if they make human versions of this dog vest

After missing its recruitment goals, the U.S. Army is now raising its max enlistment age to 42 and removing its waiver requirement for a single marijuana possession. Gosh... if only thousands of highly qualified trans soldiers hadn't been kicked out last year for no good reason.

Said goodbye to Cleo on Thursday. The last few years haven’t been easy, but this $50 rescue needed walks, food and love. She saved my life and I like to think she knew and didn’t care. Give your pet a hug and an extra treat today.
