An NHL game is also supposed to happen, which is still happening as of rn

Danes died for us. For Article 5. When we were at our very worst, Denmark was there.

museums are cool because the people who work there are like look at this neat thing and you're like wow that is neat and you just do it over and over again until it is time to go

Sometimes the light hits just right. Black-capped chickadee. #birds

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

"'democrat' politicians"

Because of Russia, Ukraine is cold and dark, and not just for humans. I can only imagine what it would feel like to lose the pups as I ran to a shelter or they bolted when a drone hit my home. ZooPatrul is doing heroic work, reuniting pets with family and much more www.facebook.com/ZooPatrul.UA/

Nobody wants to admit to caring about the climate anymore, and yet clean tech financing is booming, making a mint for investors. Trump is betting the future on a shrinking pot. The smart money is going green. Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

A lot of people don't know this about DC, but we actually have some decent skiing/riding. Snow isn't too bad this year either.

As the president graffitis his name to beloved institutions and builds monuments to his own vanity, we must focus on how much fun it will be to tear it all down. trib.al/059XHbZ

Sometimes I get the feeling I'm being watched

Take every excuse you can get to cook a delicious meal, hug your loved ones, give to others, and spread light in the darkest part of the year.

Required reading on #China #climate—facts to displace fictions, propaganda, “greenwashing”—from @wang-seaver.bsky.social @tednordhaus.bsky.social @vijramachandran. thebreakthrough.org/issues/energ...

Fun fact: @johncena has followed the DC Council on Twitter since 2022 (We know, he follows a million accounts, but still applaud his interest in municipal governance)

Man, I wish a lot of erstwhile climate advocates would channel their enthusiasm into more productive outlets. Hyperscalers attempting decarbonization is good. Verifiable EACs are good. Hyperscalers buying EACs is good. CDR tech is capex heavy. This is another financing mechanism.

Listen to this senior pup snore.

Split here. Ultimately, I support the Bonds effort. But the Council trying to undo or water down past initiatives is un-democratic. The professional activists increasingly pushing this stuff need to find a real job or better hobbies. The stadium thing was predictable and screamed: not from here

Interesting story combining all my favorite things. California has low-carbon building material standards, meaning that you need to find ways to reduce the carbon intensity of your concrete. The easiest way to do that is by replacing cement with SCMs (supplementary cementitious materials).

The New York Times and its output since 2015 hasn't been forgotten.

did… did the dog write this recipe

My first time visiting limestone quarries. Combined reserves of hundreds of millions of tons of limestone. Not all of it will be calcined, but for every two tons burned to make a ton of cement, a ton of CO2 will be released. Domestic cement consumption is ~130 m tons, releasing ~260 m tons of CO2.

First pie since I lost my dad. I'm an excruciatingly mid baker, compounded further by not having practiced in 10 months. But he always used to quietly get 2nd and 3rd servings and I could never tell if he was trying to encourage his son or if he genuinely liked it. Probably the former. I miss him.

Happy Chompsgiving!

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Reducing an entire city, fanbase and NFL team into a single image:

The US is extorting Zelenskyy to sign away territory Russia doesn't even hold, as well as Ukraine's ability to defend itself, on the basis of Putin's word he'll honor a peace and Trump's word the US will make him. Just so we're clear what's happening here.

Blocked a few communists, but wanted to highlight this. Cement does not have a PTC, OBBBA killed the renewable PTCs, my company takes zero public funding, and this is indistinguishable from Republican messaging. Everyone I have ever met is now carbon negative. What the fuck have you done?

As someone that works for a decarb startup that exists because of venture capital: lol.

To my trans and nonbinary friends, I am so sorry that you have to deal with this hate. And I hope to see us reach the other side of it soon. And, we will reach the other side. This is horrifying, but it is ultimately the latest iteration of a time-worn tale. And their time always comes to an end.

You may not like it, but this is what peak locker room culture looks like

This is more or less where I am. Would I vote Mamdani in normal times? No. Would I support him over fascists and their throne-sniffing toadies? Fucking absolutely. Nobody stopped Freddie Oversteegen to ask if she was a socialist when she was luring Nazis into the woods and killing them.

Thank you for the inspiration, Ed. If you are in the DC area and are able to help your neighbors, please consider giving to SOME. I will match your donation if you share a receipt with me.

The Inflation Reduction Act created around 500,000 clean energy jobs, before Republicans gutted it in July. Those were not *future* jobs, Biden drove the single largest investment in clean climate in global history. You're conflating IRA/BIL with CHIPS, which is telling.

When Faine does food discourse and I am exposed to all the sickos on this app

If you recently lost a pretzel on an airplane, let me know. Happy to return it to you

Dawg, the IRA was the single largest investment in emissions reduction in global history. You have even previously acknowledged this fact, but handwave it away because of neoliberalism, a lie about EU spending, and a weird comparison to Chinese state subsidies for their domestic chip industry.

paid for someone else’s groceries because their food assistance money has already run out and it’s not Nov 1 yet—what’s about to happen is going to be so catastrophic

Sometimes ya just gotta take that snooze

Prestige journalism really deserves the agonizing decades long death it's suffering through, it just sucks we have to live in the rubble of their hubris and maliciousness

If I eat the lobster corndog, does that mean I get to be president of Maine?

If you can't tolerate me at my July DC weather (humid as hell, average temp similar to surface of the sun), you don't deserve me at my October DC weather (absolutely perfect, no notes)

Pope Leo in remarks to journalists tonight: "Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life.” www.reuters.com/world/pope-l...

One of our friends has nicknamed Cleo and Luna as 'Slinky and the Chonk' While I will hate this woman forever, I can't fault her creativity.

DC is plurality black and 1 in 7 residents are immigrants

Was totally unprepared for how cool and beautiful Edmonton is. I'm still on East Coast time, so I've been able to watch the sun rise over the river each morning. Pairing this tranquility with some preseason Oilers this evening and will return to the US in a state of absolute bliss.
