"energy", can you be more specific?

even just low demand, there's a point where it's not worth it to extract, transport (pictured above), refine, transport again, and maintain infrastructure, much less invest in new or replacement (see again above)

demand for the cleanup program to get one’s Trump passport replaced with a normal one will be fun to see and broadcast

good comments around this, just want to add that orgs and institutions, ahem libraries, can however slightly move the center of gravity in ways that ordinary individuals can’t 📚

I need to develop this idea more, that pro-moderation systems protect us from the right wing but are not constraining of progressives the way we imagine. Because a Mamdani, or a Raman, are moderate along important dimensions. libraryfresh.leaflet.pub/3mw7s6k5pdk2b

and that top-two has moderated lopsided conservative district outcomes. But need someone better versed to test the evidence.

not that we need to flip California, but can I please just go fifteen miles south to buy a BYD and register it here?

not to excuse the gerrymandering but it likely hurts them this year, went all-in on offense

also would love a sort of neighborhood commercial permissible-use-by-extension reg: where there’s an operating corner store, I can open a salon next to it. let neighborhood hubs grow per proved out facts on the ground, not just the next map redraw.

in single lane each way intersections, 4-way stops = * fewer & less severe crashes * more efficient throughput * cheaper * solves for right-on-red

speculating a little... as compared to a 4-way stop sign (which is superior wherever it's a single lane per direction), traffic signals spend $$, seem more serious, and tell superiors and neighborhood boomers that 'we're doing something'.

Otoh, the trolling is the one thing he does well. I applaud it and he might as well do more. It's the matters of substance he's horrible at.

not that we don't love to see it but there is an unfairly hated way to avoid the worst of this: let lopsided districts have relevant general elections

🧵Since reporter @kellylynndavis.bsky.social passed away this summer, San Diego SPJ and those who love Kelly have been working with the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation on a memorial fund to recognize the impact she had and fuel more important work like hers.

One more thing on this. There's no bus. Amtrak sometimes runs bus bridges, but not reliably. Metrolink, never. Because of the cost – need many vehicles – probably takes state funding. At this point, a regular route w surge capacity (& shoulder running) is past due. There is Greyhound & Flix, fwiw.

a hybrid doing a test flight on electric only is awesome, but let’s have some excitement about hybrid aviation too! It’ll make a massive difference much much sooner.

Love this and taking nothing away from it... libraries do this! If you want passes for a museum, performance, match, pool, state park, &c… check w your library. AND… If you're an attraction that has extra capacity & wants a simple, managed way to share it with your city, check with your library! 📚
