Did the Aug 11 @NYT front page graphic make anyone else sad? Musk is loading up the low-earth orbit with a huge number of satellites. Future generations will live amidst ever-increasing amounts of trash in the water, land, air & outer space. Makes some people happy. #degrowth

BAM! California will prohibit the sale of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035. 100% of new cars sold in the state will be fossil fuel emission free. Who's next?

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

Just as the Russian supreme courts believes that invading Ukraine immunizes Russians from prosecution, so the Russian Orthodox Church proposes that invading Ukraine cleanses Russians from sin. At the center of this Christian fascism is impunity.

@joncoopertweets One could argue that 65% looks like a low number if you consider the charges in question.

Though Jack Smith's indictment of Trump may indicate that the rule of law still persists in America, it will not remain so if Trump returns to office in 2024. While Jack Smith does his job, we need to make sure that we do ours: vote.

@kristinemattis There are other countries with green parties. It's easier with a parliamentary system. Take Germany as an example.

That Trump will be tried for his coup attempt is not a violation of his rights. It is a fulfillment of his rights. It is the grace of the American republic. In other systems, when your coup attempt fails, what follows is not a trial.

@TimothyDSnyder Thank you, Timothy.

A weakness in the software: the user can change the start-time of a session anytime up until it starts. The user should be able to identify the timeframe of a session in advance...say for a month or a week, independent of the schedule itself.

A software called Freedom allows you to prevent access to certain websites…or all websites…for specific time periods for specific devices. A free trial period is available. I recommend you try it before buying it. But the paid service is reasonably priced. #computers

from the "Utility Dive Brief"
"Biden administration proposes 58 mpg fuel economy standard to help drive transition to EVs". Good idea. Will push advances on all fronts, not just EVs. #ev

Solar PV will be a great opportunity for supplying electricity to places where overheating is a problem in the midday sun. Perhaps use ground water pumping into raised tanks when there’s excess.
