If FIFA did, for some reason, regularly give out a Peace Prize, you’d think #1 on the list of criteria for potential winners would be “do not start a war with another nation in the World Cup, directly before the start of the World Cup”

athlete: so if triathlon is running, biking and swimming, that must mean biathlon is running and biking?

coach: [taking out skis and a gun] haha yeah you’d think so

The big difference is that solar+battery is fit and forget. Once it's installed, whether from China or anywhere else, it's yours and you are independent. No more payments to anyone.

With fossil fuels you're an addict, dependent on your dealer who can make you dance to their tune.

The book was the best thing I read last year, but all the gen AI clips in the doc really turned me off. Like a shiny new toy that fades fast, it already looks dated and cringy. Awesome interviews though, looking forward to recut.

Should we do away with childhood vaccine mandates? It would be nice if voluntary programs were sufficient, but that’s not the case

In a perfect world, vaccine childhood vaccine mandates wouldn't be necessary. But we live in a world where grifters will sacrifice children for political and financial gain, so we need to protect kids, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/0fc7a92... via @theglobeandmail.com

Same. Not sure if it’s @atrupar.com ‘s videos but 100% of the time I have this video issue.

Hospital hallways, dining rooms, phsyio spaces turned over to patients during extreme flu season | CBC News An unusually virulent respiratory illness season in northeastern Ontario is pushing hospitals to their limits like never before, and forcing them to put patients in more unconventional spaces.

We need a phrase for when the news headlines are the same every winter yet try to sound like something novel is happening.

Hospitals are overcrowded... so during flu season they become catastrophically so.

Who could have predicted that doing nothing to fix this would lead to the same bad outcome?

Solar+storage costs continuing to fall faster than the most aggressive forecasts, as it’s done for a decade.

Examples abound of countries putting the equivalent of 1 or 2 nuclear plants online *every year* for a fraction of the cost of nuclear generation.

All we need is courage in government.

It’s true.

A flow chart shows 17.4 million leave voters in 2016, vs 16.1m remain. In 2025, 5 million of those people have died, and 3 million new voters have come of age. The result (plus some people changing their mind) is 19.8 million voters now back rejoin, versus just 11.7 million wanting to stay out.

Absolutely amazing chart from @peterkellner.bsky.social's piece in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social today:

That they poop NFT’s is just 👌

Uh-huh. So you’re creating new incentives for differences of opinion. Because why should politicians be the only ones to exploit that.

alas

Don’t @me but try asking ChatGPT? It’s often very good at this type of question.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
