Non-hydro renewables (primarily wind and solar) are on track to pass gas this year as the second largest source of electricity generation globally. The rapid over the past 10 years is pretty remarkable! Hat tip to Michael Liebreich for the plot idea.

“a deliberate, systematic starvation of an entire population” A statement by Doctors Against Genocide. #Gaza
A statement by Doctors Against Genocide which reads:

To all international humanitarian organizations,
The situation in Gaza is spiraling beyond any medical or moral threshold.
The limited stock of intravenous fluids in our hospitals is no longer sufficient to treat the waves of starving individuals arriving at emergency units — from infants to the elderly, they are collapsing from pure exhaustion and hunger.
This is no longer just a humanitarian crisis.
It is a deliberate, systematic starvation of an entire population.
We urge you —
Speak. Act. Intervene.

1. This is a thread about why Food Waste is so often, and wrongly, identified as the major problem with the food system. Yes, it's an issue, but in the rich world, it's far smaller than many others. It’s massively over-emphasised, while other, far more important problems, are ignored and avoided. 🧵

Trump once again attacks Zelensky and echoes Kremlin talking points—downplaying Crimea’s illegal annexation, blaming Ukraine for defending its land, and pressuring Kyiv to “settle” on Russia’s terms. This isn’t peace. It’s imperialism rewarded. Sovereignty sold for a “deal.”

I taught a US citizenship class to South Sudanese refugees in Nebraska, 2006-2007. Fleeing civil war, they worked arduous jobs at a meat packing plant. Many had no literacy in any language. But they studied hard for a citizenship exam which many native-born Americans would not be able to pass.

You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including
A news article headline reads, "White House Plans to Pause $175 Million for Penn Over Transgender Policy." The subheadline states that the decision is part of a broader effort to push universities to end diversity programming and adopt stricter discipline. Below the text is a photograph of a historic building on the University of Pennsylvania's campus, with a statue in the foreground and leafless trees framing the image. The article is authored by Alan Blinder and Michael C. Bender, published on March 19, 2025.A news article continues discussing the Trump administration's decision to suspend $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania due to its policies regarding transgender athletes. The article references a White House social media account announcing the move, citing Penn's support of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas as a justification. A response from Penn states that they have not received official notification and assert they are in compliance with all relevant regulations.
