Like millions of New Yorkers, I want to put down roots in this city. Families like mine can't afford to buy a home in the neighborhoods we grew up in. The solution to $1,000,000 home prices? I’ll deliver 1,000,000 homes in NYC. My plan: zellnor.nyc/rebuild-nyc

Social media isolates and depresses us because it substitutes the spectacle of distant politics for the real life local organization and participation within politics. One is empowering, the other draining. Close your eyes and take a breath. Answer me: Why are you still reading this?

Hadn't attended a community organizing event in years. Found a group in RI and within an hour I felt so hopeful and energized; I had no idea how welcomed and included I would feel. There's so much determination you don't see when you don't know where to look.

This is almost too stupid to comment on, but I hope it's clear to everyone what's going on here: authoritarians bully you into doing little shit like this as a way to train you to comply, to grease the skids for bigger things. You talk yourself into a little thing, the next thing is easier.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

Book covers for: Hollow Fires by Samira Ahmed, The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo, The Many Half-Lived Lives of Sam Sylvester by Maya MacGregor, Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson, Monster by Walter Dean Myers, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place advait.org/files/lee_20...

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰

A clam with a spring attached to the shell. The spring has a magnet placed above a sensor.

Wind and solar is cranking today, providing almost 70% of the power in ERCOT right now. #txenergy

A ton of bunker oil costs about as much as a ton of DAC ($600-ish), but a ton of bunker oil has 3-ish tons of co2 in it, so it’s 3x more expensive to sequester that one ton of bunker oil (I.e, $1800-ish) I am all for DAC but I think it’s greenwashing when the deal doesn’t math.

Grateful to have attended Deploy24 this week - a conference uniting capital distributors, developers, and asset financiers driving the energy transition. Key takeaways (1/n)
