Which bar is the only #plantbased (and a non-sports bar) location to host #worldcup viewing in #Seattle ? You guessed it: #LifeOnMars , owned by KEXP @djjohnrichards.bsky.social | You should check it out. Great food, fantastic vibe, fun crowd. #music #sports #community

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

A daily reminder: there's so much hope in our world. You are not alone. Did your morning DJ open their set with Sir Ian McKellen's monologue from Shakspear's play "Sir Thomas More"? Oh... huh. Well... 14-day streaming archive at KEXP. #kexp #TheLateShowwithStephenColbert #djjohnrichards

I had no idea the Seahawks would win on the the first play of the game. But that’s all they needed. They just needed 7 points.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Completely unrelated, but this little shop wouldn’t be compliant in new construction in Seattle where retail mandates a 30’ depth for some arbitrary reason. Zoning codes and city planners do not know how to make good buildings.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector. 100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land. That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

DJ Kenny Everett was instrumental in the early success of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by repeatedly playing it on his show, despite being told not to. He was given an advance copy by Freddie, & his repeated unauthorised airplay led to huge public demand that forced the label to release the 6 minute single.
