Could the Iran war energy shock accelerate the transition to renewables? The war on Iran has sent fuel prices soaring, pushing the world into another energy shock. Could a transition to clean energy shield countries against future crises?

Soaring prices from energy crises will benefit oil producers such as Alberta and the fossil fuel industry, but price-wary buyers now have more affordable, renewable options.

Other than cuba coming, i'll bet against this prediction

Trump isn't looking to rescue poll numbers or save the markets. On the contrary. he's refusing to sign anything until congress passes his voting law

Trump's current lens seems to be make history talk about him more

The real motivation letter I want to send: I am capable and can figure most things out. I will also clean the bathroom. I want to work for a good cause and don't want to fill corporate shareholders pockets. I want a living wage and benefits are gravy.

Two wading birds silhouetted by the light and reflected in the water's surface.

The theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #StandingInWater.

Gone for a bit of an arty one today. Two waders which I think are probably redshanks; bills a bit short for godwits.

Pringles are 2.35
Diesel fuel is now 4.40 here and will probably hit 4.70 (2 pringles cans) really soon

Do i start measuring fuel economy by how many pringles cans per fill up

or be thankful that, relative to fuel prices, my grocery bill is dropping like a rock

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

i have a suspicion he hasn't pumped his own fuel since before E85 was a thing. So there's some chance we may have spotted an honest mistake. Things to note on calendar?

In the state of the union, Trump claimed he saw gas at 1.85

According to AAA gas prices now range from 2.90 to 5.08. Around here, Diesel has gone up a dollar a gallon.

I guess this is what he meant Thursday when he said "gasoline prices go up a little" to Reuters

The White House on X: "JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸🔥 https://t.co/0502N6a3rL" / X JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸🔥 https://t.co/0502N6a3rL

Amateurs cobble together clips of existing movies and then post them as trailer of an upcoming movie. They can be poorly done, half-baked, and (sometimes) so bad they're funny.

Did somebody at the White House looked at the worst of the lot and say hold my beer?

Put those two things together and the contrast is striking.

Trump's lack of a plan beyond a few days of tactics met an enemy that already saw this as a long term war and may soon be led by a man deeply motivated to wage that fight.

Trump succeeds in directing the military to achieve tactical goals. I'm not convinced he has the skill set for strategic campaigns

Warren. after a classified briefing on the war, is more succinct: there is no plan.

US and Israel killed his parents, his wife, and his son. And he is the leading candidate to lead a country that believes It is better equipped to fight a long-term war than the United States.

I get asked to show up to book clubs, online and offline. Here is why from now on the answer is always "no." If you think this might have something to do with "AI" ruining yet another thing for everyone, you're absolutely 100% correct.

They're both fictional manufacturers of robots. Cyberdine is in the Terminator movies. Sirius cybernetics appears to come from hitchhiker's guide books. One of Star Trek series also used the name as a injoke with hitchhiker fan
