And a little bit of my team’s work snuck in there as well as it turns out :)

As an Ivy League product I can attest that in my experience the community overall has a profound respect for the armed services, and particularly the individual men and women who have served.

The stereotype of disdain for those who served is an outdated caricature.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

Ev, PHEV, with street side L2 home charging set up

Yep - I hate refilling the gas tank so I try to make sure we always have full charge.

Even though trickle charging a PHEV makes sense (which is what we did with our PHEV before we bought a full EV along side) the level 2 does make a better experience.

PHEV really benefits from L2 home charging.

Arguably, killing the coal industry would fall under their fiduciary duty to their investors, given the massive costs it imposes on everything else.

Costs that will 100% be covered via electricity rates.

‘Trump administration’s shutdown of Dominion Energy’s 2600MW Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project cost the developer $228m…administration’s tariffs could cost the project $580m, remains unclear impact of last week’s Supreme Court ruling’

On the path to a zero carbon grid!

Love it!

And love to get to be a teeny tiny part of it!

Google to deploy world’s largest iron-air battery for Minnesota data center The 300 MW / 30 GWh multi-day storage system from Form Energy will be paired with 1.6 GW of new renewables to facilitate Google’s 24/7 carbon-free energy goals.

While we are all told that we MUST USE natural gas to power data centers, Google is building out data centers powered by solar wind and storage.

And if you don't know, the 100 hour battery system supporting this project uses....iron and air to store energy.

Gas is the past.

And also to reduce emissions ;)

I don’t agree with all Rep Ocasio Cortez ‘s politics by a good bit but there is no doubt she is a thoughtful, highly intelligent human being and we are better off for having her voice in Congress; those that her slander her reveal much about their character not hers.

Exhibit A why engineers aren’t allowed to run things.

(Recovering engineering myself.)

Hey! Scholars! If you're using someone's work in your class, sometimes it's nice to email them and tell them, because then they might feel good about their research instead of entirely crushed by the academic humanities' ongoing descent into the grave

$500 for each and every single one of us.

Family of four? $2000.

Illegally taken from us by the US Federal Government. Treasury Secretary is “good luck with getting that back.”

Pure joy

Ah, didn’t Athens beat Sparta in the end, in any case?

Not just losers, idiots.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

BREAKING: in lieu of unsafe vaccines the FDA now requires all babies to snort cocaine off a toilet seat

Fusion <> Fission. Tho, all that uranium came from novae, so…

Of course all energy is nuclear! Some of it didn’t come from *this* sun.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!

When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.

There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

Renee Good's partner addresses Minneapolis immigration crackdown one month after killing Becca Good has seldom spoken out since Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

As for “not being about AI” - well, part of the nature of art is that it quickly leaves the provenance of its creator and transcends to the interpretation of the observer, so…

I loved it - found a lot to unpack, including the natures of privilege, power, happiness, love, empathy, mental illness, and humanity itself.

3 interrelated things:

Predatory sexual behavior: Unlikely to systematically solve, something to police

Favor-trading: All of history at all levels. Not a problem on its own, the reality of society

The reality of research funding: can be systematically fixed. But Trump Admin works the opposite

As someone who has booed Trump at the 2019 World Series and would definitely give Vance(s) a piece of my mind if I stumbled across them here in DC, last night in Milan - made me uncomfortable to the point of nausea.

But yeah, this is why we can’t have nice things…
