A lot of people showing they don't understand Michigan recently. Let me help you out. We are defined by three loves and one hate. The loves are the Great Lakes, Greek and Middle Eastern food, and Up North (including Canada). The hate (not unique to Michigan) is Ohio. Navigate accordingly.

KASPAROV: Why can't NATO shoot down Russian missiles over Ukrainian territory? When Iran attacked Israel, the Americans, French, British shot down Iranian missiles. Why can one shoot down Iranian missiles flying at Israel but cannot shoot down Russian missiles flying at Ukraine?

I never thought the Great Lakes region would become such an apocalyptic hazard. These fires are a health and lifestyle threat to millions. It’s time for a large international effort in monitoring, cloud seeding, and solar radiation modification.

This was an overly political, outdated summary of the state of things. Activists and corporations matter much less than they did when this guest was forming his views. Technological and geopolitical trends are shaping the future of energy now.

Fiat's Little Mouse Eats Electrons, Not Cheese
The Fiat Topolino is coming to the U.S., but with only eight horsepower and a top speed of 25 mph, the little cosa carina is best used for side-street drives to the yacht club.

Cleantech 3.0 started 2/28/26. The key words of this phase are energy sovereignty, chemical sovereignty, and supply chain reduction. We'll see an incredible wave of investment, innovation, and deployment. The impacts will outlive the disruptions that kicked it off.

I can imagine a flat-earth blue-water captain centuries ago dreaming of the day he would say the words, "That's it, lads. The end of the world. We can go no further." I'm like that guy. But with pesto.

To borrow a concept from @alexroy144.bsky.social, Ram retconning their EREV truck name to "REV" not only makes way more sense than "Ramcharger", it gives them a decent opportunity to take narrative command of the next big thing in hybrid propulsion in the U.S. www.nivc.us/blog/narrati...

Chicago is a jewel and the L is a marvel. But we need to curb the disorder for everyone’s benefit. Every bar has a bouncer. We need uniformed staff to maintain the terms of service and keep the vibe civic.

We don’t always mean the same thing when we talk about reindustrialization. I’m tracking three different types of reindustrialization…and one red herring we should all avoid. www.linkedin.com/pulse/three-...

Three Types of Reindustrialization
And One Phony Type There’s a lot of excitement these days about reindustrialization. As Austin Bishop relays in a recent Tool or Die episode, simple plans for a 50-person meetup last year turned into ...

Ukraine destroyed about $7b in Russian aircraft with a drone attack. Not reported is the lead time to replace those aircraft, which is probably more important.

Today I revisited This is Water, the commencement address by David Foster Wallace. I come back to it every 1-2 years. Empathy, society, and thoughtfulness are always in demand, but I think now especially. Anyone using the term NPC unironically should probably listen twice.

The more vertical Uber goes on robotaxis, the more valuable Lyft becomes as a takeover target.

I once told Jim Womack I was reading The Machine that Changed the World. He said “I don’t know why people still read that. We’ve written such better things since then.”
