Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.

Now's as good of a time as any to reiterate that I have never seen anyone in a mainstream newspaper or magazine write about how Mamdani, El Sayed and Hamawy are representing positive masculinity.

OK so just so we're clear, any time someone in an 80s cartoon says something like "I'll show them/I'll prove I'm ready", they are absolutely not ready and are about to learn that through a series of dangerous mistakes. Glad we got that cleared up

Twin Cities! This lovebug is behaving exactly the way my dearly missed cat Gabe did in the shelter, where his shelter name was Loudmouth, and he was one of the finest cats I've ever known! Somebody go adopt this chatty gentleman in Gabe's honor.

It's unusual for me to do this, but I know the job market is hard for a lot of people right now. An org I'm affiliated with is hiring a (fully remote) senior CloudOps engineer (AWS). Feel free to ask me questions about it, I'll help if I can job-boards.greenhouse.io/flickr/jobs/...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
