For @climateconnections.bsky.social today I wrote about America's potential impending power grid crisis. Power demand is rising fast from AI data centers, etc. and we're in danger of failing to meet it if we can't figure out how to build transmission faster. #BAAJA is well-timed.

Electricity demand is skyrocketing, utility bills are spiking – but it could take years to build the new transmission lines that would address the problem.

Black text on a white that says the following:

The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.

I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come. 

Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.

Trump & Republicans inherited an improving economy and drove it straight into a ditch. September: 29,000 jobs instead of the expected 90,000. Another 60,000 jobs vanished in revisions. Wages rose 0.1%; the worst in 5 years. They broke it. Make them own every ugly number at the ballot box.

The people who run our government are are obsessed with appearance, unfamiliar with blue collar work, and worship President McCheese
In a Facebook post, the American Federation of Government Employees TSA Council 100, the union that represents the officers, expressed concern over the agency's "consequential decision.
The ergonomic chairs, the union argued, provide safety and support for officers who stand and walk on hard surfaces for extended periods.
"TSA is treating this matter like it is a privilege, the union said in its statement. "It is not; it is basic safety and common decency for the workforce."
