Wow, our enemies couldn't have gotten a better lapse in security handed to them if they paid for it! Wait, um...

what do you think of the space on the north side of 14th st, just east of 7th Ave? It looks like it's going to be a pocket park - is that true?

Presenting Berlin's Biggest Joint Building Venture Project by Zanderroth Architekten We present you Berlin's biggest joint building venture project – developed and designed by Berlin based zanderroth architekten.

Learning from Berlin: lessons for emerging collective housing Katherine Sundermann and Andy Fergus recently visited Berlin to investigate and learn more about the Baugruppe phenomenon.

It is possible for regular people to effectively organize to plan and complete large, complex, expensive projects that are usually only done by corporations. Will put examples in this thread as I encounter them.

So, all those (R) politicians checking grindr when wives aren't looking, because wives are busy DMing their strange? That doesn't happen, so I guess we're good.

What's next? Arugula? Dijon mustard?

You called it with Target, just like you called it with Zoom a year ago.

How is the "golden share" of U.S. Steel *not* socialism?

Ukraine already had security assurances, from the U.S. and Russia in the Budapest Memorandum, worked on for years and signed in 1994. That didn't hold up, so why should anything else? What's different now?

Bill Gates own 269,000 acres of farm land. Does anyone find that unusual?

Great podcast. Do you expect an eventual expansion in residential and commercial solar+storage market from decreasing costs, innovation, and increased need for stability and reslience given severe weather, aging transmission, data centers and other mass competitors for electrons, etc.?

"The idiocy of the political conspiracy defies repeating it." @steveliesman.bsky.social did not come to play. Thank you @cnbc.com for accurate reporting, and looking into these politically motivated lies that Trump is carelessly throwing around about the jobs numbers and the head of the BLS.

"When you go too far into your politicization, it becomes indecent" --> @steveliesman.bsky.social was very clear that Trump is lying about the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. @eamonjavers.bsky.social : "We see this in autocratic regimes a lot." #trumpislying #cnbc #economics

Keep saying it, @aukehoekstra.bsky.social. As long as we still have this conflict between truth and lies, and the blind obedience that enables those lies to have reach and real world effects, I'm willing to keep listening to that song on repeat.

Great article. I'm adding "shareholder" to your explanation that "every employee, CEO, subcontractor and policymaker understands they are part of something bigger," and as an investor in green infrastructure, I'm part of the "wartime footing" that needs to be adopted as well.

I agree re: national security, but felt like there could have been a less destructive historical comparison. Surprised by the lack of pulling in a solar+storage partner in this plan (even for optics) when they claimed "a more comprehensive solution" and "lower carbon intensive power."

"this is our Manhattan Project" said by Ron Gusek, CEO of Liberty Energy, when discussing Liberty's partnership with OKLO to provide natural gas as a "bridging solution" for nuclear, this morning on @cnbc.com @squawkstreet.bsky.social with @carlquintanilla.bsky.social

TJR was out of Sunpower for > a decade before the Sunpower bankruptcy, explanatory podcast linked below. TJ's firm (Complete Solaria) purchased some Sunpower assets in the bankruptcy proceedings, and recently changed the name to Sunpower <-- huge mistake, imo. www.spglobal.com/commodity-in...
