I live in Colorado. This year, for the first time ever, more than half of our electrical power will be generated by renewables. In 2004, it was less than 3%. That still leaves a long way to go. (Eleven other states are ahead of us.) But I’m still pretty damn proud of our progress in 22 years.

American citizens should hold the leash that controls corporations. Not the other way around. This isn’t complicated, people. The system is upside down, and only we can right it.

Mangroves, vital for protecting coastlines and storing carbon, are making an unexpected comeback due to increased legal protections and public awareness of their importance. Since 2010, the rate of mangrove loss has slowed down, with more forests being restored than destroyed.

Swampy mangrove forests are staging a surprise comeback - which is good news for coastal communities and the climate.

Just finished watching the 2006 James Bond movie ‘Casino Royale’ last night … and I can’t get over how much the amoral, wealthy, arrogant and sadistic billionaire ‘Le Chiffre’ in that film reminds me of the present-day Elon Musk.

OK, one guess as to the only U.S. president in history to ever disseminate the message “Praise be to Allah!” on Easter Day. Hint: it was not Barack Hussein Obama.

China’s latest energy data offers a signal worth paying attention to. In 2025, emissions from energy and industry fell by 0.3%, modest, but notable, even as total energy consumption rose by 3.5%. The key driver? A continued surge in solar power capacity. #GoodGreenNews

Thanks so much, SCOTUS, for granting the President legal immunity for any crimes he/she chooses to commit as president. Along with the President’s power to pardon any and all criminal co-conspirators, this should really work out well.

Colorado says “yes” to Western Slope plan for Shoshone Power Plant’s water rights

For Colorado, the two water rights will be a crown jewel in the state water board's five-decade effort to help river ecosystems.

Oh man. I just got back from running errands. First stop was my fave coffee shop for 1 lb of dark-roasted Bolivian Caranavi, freshly ground. Every subsequent stop, I’d get back in the car and it smelled like pure heaven. Like St. Peter greeting me at the pearly gates with a fresh-brewed Caranavi.

I appreciate the variety of features & perspectives provided by the NYT, but this was just like: what?? One person's "Ruben's brush strokes" and "infinite aesthetic array" is another person's epitome of grotesquely sad consumer capitalism. That "another" being me. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I really like BlueSky, and enjoy the other posts it features. But, seriously, *how many times* do I have to flag “Show less like this” on Manga or Anime or whatever cartoons of scantily clad cat-women in weird universes before BlueSky’s algorithm figures out I don’t want these daily?

I guess this all means that Trump will not be doing his car salesman shtick for Tesla vehicles on the White House lawn again, not any time soon.

From the Silver Lining Department: With Trump’s new tariff hikes on aluminum and steel, there will now be more economic incentive for communities to aggressively collect and recycle aluminum and steel cans, right? I am forever astonished by how half-assed my city is in terms of doing this.

Was shopping for salsa at my grocery store today, spotted a brand that looked good, but it wasn’t one I’d tried. Checking the label, I saw it was made in Texas. My instinctive reaction: f*ck any state that put the Orange Felon in office. So I got the Ft Collins, CO salsa instead. It’s good.

I give up. Are Trump and his MAGA cult followers FOR or AGAINST electric vehicles, and the infrastructure to support them? For Christssakes, I wish they’d make up their goddamn minds already.

I get a kick out of various random, average people freaking out right now because Donald Trump is doing … exactly what he and his Project 2025 buddies promised to do for months leading up to the 2024 election. Go figure.
