Fellow fans of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, you'll be pleased to learn that Seu Jorge is going *strong* even now, 21 years later:

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.
(≥100 times. I'm not joking.)
At least they didn't go with National Outstanding Beautiful Unbelievable Legendary Laboratory (NOBULL) 🐂

Most eye-popping thing about this is the leaderboard for ticket count. Officer 0336 has written 156 tickets totalling $16,417 since Monday at midnight 😭💸
Just following orders.

Camus Energy made Congruent's 50 by 2050 list 🎉
Lots of very inspiring companies in here--it's an honor to be among them!

Oooh, sharing economy for the portable batteries kicking around my house (and maybe yours) unused for most of the year. Work harder, you bricks of lithium! www.pwron.com
Okay, first I read the article and felt angry at offshore wind possibly being cancelled.
Next I bought a pair of these socks on eBay, and felt at least a little bit better.
Finally I realized these will be my first pair of climate-themed socks, and now I feel like a complete fraud.
Learned about Seattle artist Ryan "Henry" Ward today, and his work is delightful. Definitely going to be looking for his murals on my next trip to The Emerald City 🏙🎨❤️

APOD turns 30: apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25061...
Wow. I started reading in late 1995 after seeing it listed on a new web directory called Yahoo. Didn't realize today that was within the first few months of its existence.
Some very cool interactive maps from Global Forest Watch.
In NorCal, you can see huge swaths of pink (tree cover loss) dotted with pebbles of blue (tree cover gain). Not the trend we want 😬

Learned today that Spotify has a pretty great funnel for new ideas, so I put one in: the Empathize playlist. You can upvote!

Just set up Beeper for myself. It was a tedious process, but it already feels like a life saver. All* of your chats in one place!

Book review:
See No Stranger
by Valarie Kaur
Stunning intro to the unitive love of Sikhism via memoir
Filled with soul-crushing irony of American brutality
B+

What I want to know is why it looks like cigarettes for Godzilla 🦖
Josh Haywood is back in the game! His latest piece is going to Burning Nest at the end of May.
Love the reuse of the humble pallet. No word yet on whether it'll be climbable.
Hard to believe it's been more than a decade since I supported his first project in 2014.

If you haven't seen a transformer explode, there's a good chance you will within the next five years. But they are avoidable, as VEC and Camus recently proved. Love working on projects like this! ❤️⚡️

This is so cool. It might still be a far cry from a real dire wolf, but it is impressive progress.
Can we do unicorns next? 🦄

Well, yeah, but sometimes for actual crimes.
Super interesting to see how Ukraine has made the war so expensive for Russia, e.g. sinking a $750M war ship.

"Nuclear Explosions for Large Scale Carbon Sequestration"
Far from the worst idea I've heard. Can we at least include hazmat suits for polar bears?

TIL about "unintentional islanding": scary stuff!
TL;DR: subcircuits stay energized (e.g. by distributed PV) when the utility opens a recloser, unbeknownst to the them, endangering workers and the general public 😬

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

Excellent work 👏👏👏
Before clicking, I wondered if it would have any Rage Against the Machine. Spoiler alert: first track.
Is it... 10% 😬
During 14 years at Google, I got a ton of experience with data centers from the inside. Now 6 years into a new life at Camus, I am about to get my first experience with them from the outside.
Very different perspective, admittedly, but still feels like going home 😄

Met Marco at his studio on Treasure Island, when he was making this. He told me, but swore me to keep secret, that she would actually breathe, that is her chest would gently move in and out at the same rate as a real person. A month later at BRC, I got to see it happen 🤯

Seems like a law that doesn't understand social fabric theory.
Tilda Swinton is an unparalleled gift to the world.
