Chris Meder@evcurvefuturist.com · 10mo ago🇨🇳 Every second, China bolts down ~100 solar panels. H1 2025: 67% of global solar already. And before decade’s end, China’s solar capacity ALONE will eclipse the whole US grid. The first true electrostate is here—rising at hyperscale, rewriting energy history in real time. ⚡☀️ #Solar #EV #Energy #BESS
At a comedy show, Mahmoud Khalil told Zohran Mamdani, “I am excited about the possibility of raising my son in a city where you are mayor.” It was a stunning moment, Hanif Abdurraqib writes.

someone check my math but doesn’t this come out to ~$23,000 per capita?

The FBI…..is investigating authors of the Paris agreement……….. yikes!!
Laura Bassett@lebassett.bsky.social · last yr.From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement. Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”
It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.
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: 18f.org
We're not done yet | 18F

so little!! 🥺
Rocket Lab@rocketlabcorp.com · last yr.Venus is a step closer. We're launching the first private Venus mission to search for signs of microbial life. The probe’s heatshield, vital for protecting it during its journey through Venus’ atmosphere, recently passed a fit check at NASA's Ames Research Center. Learn more: bit.ly/3EZFwon
My new subscription to @wired.com is really paying off tbh - I highly recommend getting one yourself if possible, we need to be sending concrete economic signals to all media outlets that this is the type of reporting we value
Katie Drummond@katie-drummond.bsky.social · last yr.I had the privilege of talking to @apnews.com about WIRED's Elon Musk and politics coverage. Most important thing: We're not slowing down, we're not stopping, and we're going to cover this story, relentlessly, for as long as we need to. apnews.com/article/elon...
Loss of the REAP program is going to gut the entire agricultural/rural economy in #NY 😳
NPR@npr.org · last yr.Craig Strong recently installed a new, more efficient grain dryer on his farm; it was supposed to be funded, in part, by a federal program to reduce the need for fossil fuels in rural communities. Now, he and other farmers aren't sure they'll be paid back. (via @wskg.bsky.social)
Time for us to take back the economy from the billionaires - every region/state in the U.S. should have its own Mondragón
They want us to think we’re alone. We are not. The Resistance is Everywhere. Welcome to Resist List. Your online hub of the ongoing resistance to the growth of authoritarianism in the United States.
When will the EU and the rest of the world start leveling sanctions against us? Now seems like a decent time to start…
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · last yr."I never could have imagined, none of us could, that the government of the United States of America would openly ally itself with a fascist political party. In the heart of Europe. In Germany, for God’s sake."
Dumb question but why does USDOT have the power to stop congestion pricing? Were federal funds used to implement it?

Great article on how those of us in the geospatial community approach time-series analysis! #gischat
Time for a change
Time should be a first-class citizen in geospatial. In many ways, measuring change might always have been geospatial's killer app. But are we giving time enough structured attention?

Sure would be bad if this went away!!
WIRED@wired.com · last yr.Anytime a storm is brewing, your local forecasters are getting the latest data from NOAA. As the agency faces an uncertain future, one thing's for sure: for-profit companies would struggle to replicate NOAA's weather-forecasting prowess.
The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.
"Our phones really aren’t doing much that our computers don’t do, they’re just portable and thus available to disrupt any potential boredom...I’m not interested in getting rid of my phone, I’m just interested in being less bound to it."

What happens when the thing that structured so much of our lives loses its utility?

“The administration might have changed since then. But the government is still bound by its debts and obligations,” writes @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social. Trump is about to start violating dozens of federal contracts. That matters for his energy spending freeze.
The Next Front of Trump’s Renewables War Is Contract Law
And that’s on top of the constitutional questions.

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory
wondered which Super Bowl ads generated the most engagement last night and then i remembered sewers are the network people engaged with all game long so who was the real winner here.
Today I replaced a plug on an extension cord and removed some melted cord from a power strip (someone left it too close to a wood stove) and re-soldered the wire into place and lemme tell ya! Fixing shit instead of throwing it out feels good as hell!! #repaireconomy #repairnotreplace
When cities clear homeless encampments, workers often take people’s belongings — including important documents, survival gear and irreplaceable mementos. Over and over, people across the U.S. told ProPublica they were devastated by such losses: https://propub.li/3WScD3g
Congrats to Katie for taking on the next chapter for Viva! Ithaca is lucky to have someone so experienced taking on an ~institution~ like this in the local food scene
