morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Can you say more about #3? I don’t think I caught your previous thread on that 010
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 06/10/2026There’s often a voice in my head that says, “I’m so tired.” But I’ve realized it’s not quite true. I’m actually grief-stricken by what is happening in the world, and that is, yes, tiring. It helped me to non-pathologize what I’m feeling. 000
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I think there are many more people that have been concerned about Ag’s water use, and therefore are also concerned about AI data centers’ water usage. Remember, the majority of people hate data centers and certainly aren’t looking for excuses to justify them! 020
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I hadn’t even heard of it. Sounds good tho! 000
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 03/10/2026This is sad. I just planned a whole vacation around the ability to stop at vegan restaurant Little Saint in CA. As you say, the benefit is showing the world how mind-blowing vegan food can be. 030
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I didn’t know the movie was based on a novel. Cool! 100
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I think I’ve watched it 10 times. So many great lines. 110
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 01/10/2026What a deal! Interstellar, Imitation Game, and Austenland. I mean, that’s pretty random. 130
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I have the same one! Lots of very happy worms, but I can’t seem to get castings at the other end. Maybe it just hasn’t been enough time (approx 6 months) but I can’t figure out where all the poop is going since the worms are definitely eating the food scraps. 000
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The idea we could have someone in Congress who thinks about problems this deeply is inspiring. 0132
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This was fantastic! Thank you for speaking in such clear terms for the non-climatologist. You have a true gift! 021
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Does this mean that OpenAI and xAI will rename themselves? Because that might be worth it. 000
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This. Scientists go to extraordinary lengths to safeguard themselves from being scooped. To use a plagiarism machine is just insane. 000
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Are the “climate faves who are actually grifters” also named in the book? Or are they one and the same with the media shills? Sounds like a great read regardless 020
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Because if there’s one thing vice chancellors are known for, it’s cutting red tape! 000
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The Democratic party has been almost completely captured. How in the world do we get ourselves out of this mess? 000
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This is the clearest explanation of what’s happening in U.S. politics I’ve seen. Illuminating, if not incredibly grim. 000
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 24/09/2026In the case of my friend, neither. I don’t think she (or most of the public) really understands what airborne means & the precautions it requires. And if you’re not in the habit of thinking that thru, you’ll make mistakes, even glaring ones, often. That’s why I say I don’t think they can change. 230
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I found getting rid of Amazon Prime to be easier than expected. I only have Netflix and Apple TV these days, but would struggle to lose the latter as the shows have been so good. 110
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 24/09/2026FWIW, I don’t think they *can* change. I asked a friend to isolate/mask for 5 days prior to me coming to visit. She said “Of course! And I’m getting you an at-home massage!” Imagine my horror when I saw she let him in w/me in the house & *didn’t ask him to mask.* I was dumbfounded. 1110
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Same. When I tried to find it on the US Bookshop site, it’s not there. So thinking we can’t get it here yet. 001
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The lack of leadership on climate, in places where it absolutely *should be,* is just stunning. Stunningly disappointing? How anyone in climate could say “Don’t worry, just *10 more years* of emissions…” with a straight face is bonkers. 000
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Thanks for this. I didn’t realize it wasn’t in the US yet. But good to hear another rave review. 110
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 21/09/2026This is really interesting. I don’t know anyone with an Ioniq. Have you used the bidirectional charging? That’s my #1 interest in a new EV. But good to hear that you like the way it drives too! 110
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I’m glad they are doing what they can at this point. At least they are taking the threat of El Niño flooding seriously 010
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Fantastic article which I think gives real insight into what people in the area are weighing. I think their trust in nuclear over solar/wind is misguided, but from the reporting, I can at least *understand* it. Great job. 000
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Would you say the same about fossil fuels? I’m sure you wouldn’t. Don’t let the tech industry convince you of generative AI's inevitability. It’s entirely possible it will eclipse itself due to high risk funding, but I think demand destruction & cont community pushback are urgent. 001
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 19/09/2026THIS. I have been arguing with a few of my newsletter readers (and friends) that the existence of LLM benefits, mostly potential benefits, does not wipe out their manifold harms. I’ve honestly been shocked at how many ppl are doing that kind of leap of logic. 010
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 19/09/2026This is a great point. Go back in time. Imagine if the laws against recording people w/o their consent had required you to pat people down for wires? Or to check your phones for wire taps on a regular basis? That would be absurd! 000
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Thanks. That helps a lot. And is reassuring! (Even if the reality still sucks) 020
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Thanks for replying. I was wondering about the 2.5 - 3 degree rise by 2050. My memory isn’t what it used to be, but that sounds a lot higher, a lot sooner than I remember you saying 110
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Is this in line with what climate scientists like @zekehausfather.com have been predicting? This seems even higher than that, but I can’t figure out why Exxon would want to inflate, if so. 100
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 18/09/2026WOW. I was already a fan of Mamdani, but this 🤯 000
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 18/09/2026For once I would like a left leaning wealthy person to stand up and say they will pay for the bill for an obvious social good like this. 010
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 17/09/2026If I owned a big corporation, this would totally sell me on becoming “AI first" 010
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Agree! So excited about the new season of Slow Horses that comes out this week. And looking forward to The Diplomat when it comes out. 010
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 13/09/2026If this was the primary legacy of AI, I’d be a lot more pro-AI. 000
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Except, it’s hard to imagine a group who is fundamentally anti-social creating a machine that is actually pro-social. Even if they wanted to do it (and I’m not sure they do), I don’t think they are capable of it. 010
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I thought this was hilarious personally. Just in an also very sad way. Well done! 000
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Yes! I like to say I’m “almost vegan”. I’ve removed approximately 80% of meat and dairy from my diet. The meat and dairy I do eat I now appreciate in a way I never did—it’s a treat and something special. 011
morepeas.bsky.social @morepeas.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Would 5 degrees of warming even be livable? (Genuine question) I realize Canada’s starting average temp is lower than most, but even still, that seems like a lot. And given that Europe is heating faster than other continents, what would *they* be at if Canada is +5? 110
