When Putin's army charged towards Kyiv in 2022 I started covering the war for @spectrum.ieee.org, including the violent capture of Europe's largest nuclear power plant. What shocked me more was the battle raging within Ukraine's nuclear power company: spectrum.ieee.org/ukraine-nucl...

Journalism friends: Pls help me find ANY balance in this @nytimes.com article, or help me understand why more voices are not called for. Like, an ethics person. Or a political rival? WTF? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/w...

Strong critique of @nytimes.com story. I'd love to hear from more @sierraclub.org insiders.

I was at the Sierra Club during the period described in this article and although I have my criticisms, it gets the issues in the Club fundamentally wrong. A 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

🎯"We already have plenty of evidence of what happens when things better left to governments—which in this case might decide to never flip the switch at all—are ceded to private industry. How comfortable are you with one absurdly damaged man controlling two-thirds of all the satellites in space?"

China has very detailed maps of our homes.

Characteristically solid story from @shannonosaka.bsky.social. One nuance to add: Utilities are dropping big $$ on the wrong transmission. They build locally, rather that creating links between regions that would cut generation costs and boost resilience to climate chaos. wapo.st/47rh4a3

DHS just posted a Little Dark Age edit. Clear pattern of black-pilled memes and fashy fancams that reflects who ICE wants to recruit www.instagram.com/bydrewharwell/ www.tiktok.com/@drewharwell

Appreciate this review by Andrew Macleod! I only covered Horgan during his time as premier, after the opposition days. It was at the very beginning of my time as a political reporter, the first 5 years I haven't read his memoir yet but I suspect it will be an interesting experience

Most of you have probably never seen what a modern power grid looks like in action. For a snapshot, check out this chart showing California's power supply yesterday. I'm happy to answer questions. (Ht Nicolas Fulghum @ember-energy.org via X)

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt: “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist." www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

NSPM-7 directs agencies to investigate a swath of identities and ideologies that it depicts as falling under “the umbrella of self-described ‘anti-fascism.’” These include “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism and ... hostility towards ... traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.”

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city. They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

INBOX: an investigation by @annenbergmedia.bsky.social found that the United States Navy has paid USC more than $860,000 over the last seven years for at least 89 “fresh cadaver bodies,” 32 of which were used specifically for Israel Defense Forces training at Los Angeles General Medical Center.

Journalist Mario Guevara has been deported. He spent three-plus months in ICE custody after livestreaming a protest, before being flown out of the U.S. on Oct. 3. In a recent post, he wrote: “My dedication to my work cost me my freedom.”

The #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has been running on backup generators for a week. That's supposed to be the last line of defence, not the only line of defence. Fukushima's diesels flooded. www.theguardian.com/world/ukraine

​Wright must be referencing my uncle David Fairley and his groundbreaking work linking fine particulate levels to same-day mortality and morbidity, when David ran stats for the SF region's air quality regulator. Although, confusingly, David's always been more of a beer person.

Imagine thinking affirmative action is a problem and then cheering for woke coal policies that will make your electricity and hospital bills skyrocket.

The IDF shelled the hospital stairwell again, nine minutes after striking the camera, "killing other journalists and emergency responders who had rushed to the scene." This is the work of truly bad people. As usual with the IDF there is no accountability. www.tbsnews.net/world/visual...

@dgblankinship.bsky.social on what Washington is losing with the demise of Crosscut 🔽 My take: It's the entire region's loss.
