When Bad Bunny scaled a utility pole during his Super Bowl show, it was more than a stunt. His performance highlighted Puerto Rico's frequent power cuts, which have been exacerbated by energy privatization. We're fighting for an equitable and just clean energy system for all Puerto Ricans.

Loving the opportunity to skate outdoors in Maryland this past week. Could do without the wild wind today though!

6.5” of snow here in SW Baltimore and sleeting as of 9AM.
Paging @capitalweather.bsky.social et al.
Book 2: The Fellowship of the Ring. A classic whose movie adaptation I have watched many times without reading the source material. A delightful read full of nuance and additional storytelling not captured in the film.
(Feat: My spider plant coming home with me while my office moves location).
Bike treads are visible through a light dusting of snow on a dirt path.
Desire paths for walking and biking are all around you, even in the snow.
Build pedestrian/cycling infrastructure now!

The original Pebble Round was probably the coolest device I have ever owned. This is going to be the best smartwatch of all time, hands down. I have already preordered one in addition to my incoming Pebble Time 2.
So thrilled that @repebble.com is back (thank you @ericmigi.com)!
The book cover of The Boys in the Boat, featuring nine rowers powering a boat through the water.
Book 1 was The Boys in the Boat, the unsung story of the 1936 US Olympic rowing team. It seamlessly blends a coming of age narrative set in the Depression-era PNW with descriptions of rowing strategy/philosophy and the Nazi’s use of propaganda around the Olympics. Highly recommend!

You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.
The big problem with NEPA reform -- which I'd like to see NEPA reformers grapple with a bit more -- is that if you open the thing up, most of the legislators doing the "reforming" are hostile to it & just want to get rid of env. review entirely. It's not a good-faith process.

There is a better way to travel between major US cities. It's not that we can't build high speed rail here... It's been a deliberate choice of political will, car industry lobbying and regulatory hurdles designed to make it seem impossible... But it is indeed a choice.

FWIW, my thinking on this was that having both a 5 hour closure in the morning/early afternoon and a 5hr closure overnight would shorten the long construction timeline. But maybe bridge construction is not the limiting factor compared to some of the other parts of the project.
21.11.2025 02:28 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Yeah I get that, but couldn’t they do work on the actual bridge part - i.e. between Long Bridge Park and East Potomac Park - overnight? Sounds like they’re foreclosing that possibility even in the non residential segments of the project.
21.11.2025 00:46 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0It’s ridiculous that (according to the linked information) they can’t do construction between 7PM-7AM in the middle of the Potomac River. What resident is going to be kept up at night by loud construction there… beavers? Are there no exceptions to that DC ordinance?

The Trump administration is wasting no time in implementing the big, ugly budget bill’s worst provisions. From gutting clean energy to propping up the coal industry, here are some of the harmful changes the Department of the Interior is making: earthjusticeaction.org/news/trumps-...
