Was at the world cycling championship women’s elite race in Montreal today. Demi Vollering won; I got a picture of her and the top three finishers on the last lap. One thing they don’t show on TV is the sweep car

Turkeys (the bird) are named in most languages after the place they are believed to have come from. In England they were imported from the Ottoman Empire. In Turkey, they are called “Indias”. In India, they are called “Perus”.

My solar + electric system just crossed over to being a net exporter for the year to date. It’ll probably go back to being a net importer in November or December, but I’m enjoying it for now

Just read this morning there’s an effort to get rideshare drivers in Massachusetts to use EVs because they drive far more miles on average than anyone else, and I like how pragmatic my state is, overall

A network of research centers that was well-positioned to respond to the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo had its funding canceled last year by the Trump administration. My latest for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/us-res...

These Researchers Would Be in Africa Fighting Ebola—but Trump Cut Their Funding

The Centers for Research in Emerging Infectious Diseases were launched during the Covid-19 pandemic. The group lost its funding under Trump in part due to conspiracy theories.

NEW: Coal-fired power generation fell in both China and India in 2025, for the first time since 1973. The drop came after record clean energy additions in both countries, and was the first time that clean energy was a major driver of falling coal power use.
