A philosophical follow-up on the Assembling Gaia post. #SeldonCrisis #AssemblyTheory @Sara_Imari @bratton @DrFunkySpoon open.substack.com/pub/joelmcki...

Solid boost from one who knows 🚀

@saraimari.bsky.social Sara - your ideas on Assembly Theory have been bouncing around in my head since your Long Now talk and I finally got around to posting some ideas that came out of it. Would love to get your feedback! www.seldoncrisis.net/p/hurtling-t...

@jblumenfeld100.bsky.social Gave your episode thumbnail the #SeldonCrisis reboot treatment. open.substack.com/pub/joelmcki...

@zacharykreitler.bsky.social @gmamanda.bsky.social Hey guys - here's my conversation with Amanda now on Substack with a zippy new thumbnail. Feel free to sub if you wish! open.substack.com/pub/joelmcki...

My first new post for #SeldonCrisis since porting to Substack. open.substack.com/pub/joelmcki...

I stand with Mark Kelly.

Ezra Klein is one of the smartest people in politics. He sometimes rubs people the wrong way, but truth has a way of doing that. This piece is about as insightful as it gets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8iw...

Got to see my favorite band perform at The Fillmore in SF Thursday night and they burned the place down. Great show! #TheWaterboys #TheFillmore #MikeScott youtu.be/APiduixqQiU

Love this!

@weatherwest.bsky.social Enjoyed your presentation to #CCL today. Thanks for doing the great work you do!

This is so good. #solar #climate #ccl www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoDn...

#CitizensClimateLobby featured a narrative essay I wrote after my first #CCL lobby day experience, where I compared the climate change battle to the NASA moonshot effort in the '60s. citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/advocac...

Please join this campaign to lower California electricity rates year round. actionnetwork.org/letters/make...

Nice to see this little piece of work was appreciated.

I read EPA’s 302-page proposal to nuke the endangered endangerment finding so that you don’t have to, and wrote about what the insanity all means for @climateconnections.bsky.social. Thanks to @gregdotson.bsky.social, @hausfath.bsky.social, @michaelemann.bsky.social for the input. Article & 🧵(1/14):

Just got my first ope ed published in the San Mateo Daily Journal. It's inspired by my recent experience lobbying for #CitizensClimateLobby in DC and a trip to the #SmithsonianNationalAirAndSpaceMuseum. #CCL www.smdailyjournal.com/opinion/gues...

Awaiting Tulsi's big mea culpa 😏

"Oil, coal, and gas are distributed unevenly around the world and just moving the fuel to the sites where it will be used is hugely energy inefficient. About 40% of global shipping is just moving fossil fuel around, and more fuel is moved on trains and trucks." Great point not stressed enough.

This is more about the books than the Apple TV show, but I don't think it really contains any spoilers. #Asimov #Foundation www.reddit.com/r/asimov/com...

Just returned from my first-ever trip to lobby Congress with Citizens’ Climate Lobby, a grassroots, nonpartisan group working to build political will for a livable planet. /1 #CCLLobbyDay #ClimateAction #GrassrootsAdvocacy #ClimateHope

Flying east! Ten San Mateo Citizens’ Climate Lobby volunteers are self-funding our trip to DC July 20-22 to lobby Congress for carbon cashback, smarter clean-energy permits & healthy forests. 🌎✈️ #ClimateAction

@drmgnwife.bsky.social Foundation looms!

32 years after recording, the lone CD from #JupiterSheep, Choose Your World, is released for streaming. Give it a listen! open.spotify.com/album/6qfIv6...

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

This is climate leadership! Wish we had it here in the U.S.

@jesszafarris.bsky.social Hi Jess - I was expecting you and Rob to talk about why cats have 9 lives among the idioms around nine. Any thoughts on that?

@seldoncrisis.bsky.social OMG OMG OMG youtu.be/5bMCpnEi4k0?...

I'm shocked to hear of #JillSobule's death in a house fire. She was one of my favorite artists. I'd learned to play and perform two of her songs; Palm Springs, and A Good Life. She was a beautiful spirit. Listen to her music! www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy0q...

Trump uniting everyone against America‼️ He caused Pierre to lose his seat, the highlight of the election‼️ Trump helped Mark Carney and the Canadian liberal party sail to victory over the conservatives, who two months ago were on track to win the election by a landslide‼️

Just came across this sweet but kooky story from 2014. I love the spirit of what this guy did for his daughter, but wonder how far we've gone as a species in the fixation on ownership of property. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne...

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard. There's a wonderful video of it as well, but I love the use of the orchestra on this one. #GabyMoreno www.youtube.com/watch?v=zONl...

Something about the incessant criticism of Blue Origin's recent all-woman flight and especially the dogpiling of Katy Perry has been bugging me. Peter Hague gets at it astutely in this essay. planetocracy.org/p/the-underv...

Had to share my friends' signs at a protest today somewhere in upstate NY.

This seems obviously impeachable to me. Biggest new Trump admin scandal by far to this point.

This is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Great to see this. Cement production for concrete is a huge source of carbon emissions; ~8% worldwide.

Great turnout for the protests in my little nearby town of Half Moon Bay today. Here are a few of my favorite signs. Note, the one that says "Too Much Crazy for One Sign" had the back totally covered with a fine print listing of just some of the crazy.

Love the delicious snark from the denizens of Heard & McDonald Islands in response to the tariffs.

Just got home from a fabulous 11 day trip to San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato Mexico. Both are amazing places to visit, and its very tempting to consider them as retirement destinations.

I'm on vacation in Guanajuato Mexico and have been thinking about this essay for several days. I see both godesses everywhere. slatestarcodex.com/2015/08/17/t...

My favorite podcast by far, pure professionalism. I've learned so much listening to every episode produced. Brilliant analysis of literature and historical context, outstanding original music, and a wonderful sense of humor. Latest episode, "Cornerstones," was perfection as always!

The perfect allegory does not exis... nm

Out of all of the horribly malign and/or incompetent members of Trump's cabinet, this guy will likely do the most damage to the US and the world in the long run.

I gotta repost- EVERYONE should repost this. Mark Kelly is a decorated combat pilot who risked life for the USA, and for backing Ukraine, vs a brutal invading dictator, he is called a >traitor< by desk-jockey Musk? Support Putin or you're a traitor to USA now? Reagan would've fired Musk's ass.
