What a searing treatment of how heat is changing the world. It's like the dystopian real world companion to the Ministry for the Future. I listened to the audiobook. Grim but captivating. Still much room to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change but a sobering read/listen.

Can anyone explain to me why a national permitting deal is best negotiated now, mere weeks from an election that is likely to reshape federal power? Let’s stipulate that a deal of some kind is necessary and good; my question is what about the situation makes now more desirable than, say, Q1 2027?

@hannolustig.bsky.social on data centre finance: "Stijn's paper shows the marginal dollar of the AI buildout is being financed instead through project debt, private credit, and 90%-levered special-purpose vehicles that sit off the hyperscalers' balance sheets. It’s an opaque mix of exposures"

Today I found my first seabean. This seed has travelled a long way to reach #Shetland. Starting it's journey in a tropical forest, travelling with ocean currents and washing up with our first autumn storms. A little piece of luck and joy to hold onto as daylight fades and winter approaches.

It really sucks that killing someone is basically legal in this country if you do it with your car

A Virginia driver who struck and killed a pedestrian less than three months ago had his case dismissed Thursday after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor and completing 20 hours of community service.
On June 18, the driver of a Prius jumped the curb of a Leesburg Pike service road near Seven Corners and fatally hit 38-year-old Sean King.

Listening to this with my insurance nerd hat on, and I gotta say: everybody living on the US west coast should consider getting flood insurance, given the El Niño-related flooding that’s likely coming. Flooding isn’t covered by standard insurance policies but most folks don’t know that!
