This is such a brutal shiv.
Wait, *another* one?
This was a fantastic listen.
It hammers home the point that we need to plan the transition. Letting the market do it based on profit is a recipe for disaster.
UK Labor following the Searchlight crew's advice! Popularism! And it's working just like they said it w...[finger to ear]
Ken Paxton absolutely sold his soul for MAGA and Trump is about to fuck him in the most high-profile way possible.
You hate to see it. And by that I mean you f'ing love it.
Here's a ballot measure in Washington state that would force kids who want to play high school sports to “verify their biological sex," presumably by showing their genitals to their coach.
However much contempt you feel for the panty-sniffing creeps on the right, it's not enough.
The only flaw in the post is that it should have linked to this in-depth discussion of Taiwan's energy situation:
Interesting stuff from @josephpolitano.bsky.social on Taiwan's ongoing economic miracle:

Sure hope farmers are enjoying being allowed to say "retard" again because it's really difficult to see what else they're getting for their support.
These might be your finest shoes.
"You can only be decent because we are horrible" is a very, very popular line of thinking among horrible people.
Noem finding out that, no matter how hard you play, you can't win the right-wing gender game.
Whole lotta people out there screenshotting this, Senator. We're going to hold you to it.

Have they considered widespread electrification, loans and loan guarantees to solar and wind and nuclear projects, and somewhat robust vehicular mileage standards to compel more efficiency?
Is *the exact model of the IRA* under the rock, or is it just one rock with “Drill Baby Drill” written on it?
today's essential listen.
Really fascinating discussion, and a super important one.
You're going to be so excited when you hear about batteries!
Luckily, no one has said they are, so you don't need to believe it!
That's all down to Emily. She's amazing.
But I keep being told that's everything bagel liberalism and marks me as unserious!
This is one of the most fascinating and maybe important conversations I've heard recently about transition. It's already infused in our energy debates, although very rarely acknowledged. So glad David and @gruberte.bsky.social did a pod cause the paper is still in my tabs.
This is, without irony, an accurate representation of roughly 98% of political analysis.
Remind me: when you bomb an elementary school, lure the survivors into a false sense of safety, and then bomb the survivors, leaving behind dozens and dozens of dead school children... are you the good guys?
Wilhoit.
This is crucial listening for … everyone. Especially folks who… live on an island.
thanks to @volts.wtf for having me on to talk about coordinating and planning fossil phase out to build a better and actually decarbonized world. there‘s a lot we can do if we imagine a people-centered, service oriented future — and a LOT we miss if we don’t.
Amen to this much-needed conversation between @gruberte.bsky.social & @volts.wtf.

Fascinating and important discussion
