I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head
A daily reminder: there's so much hope in our world.
You are not alone.
Did your morning DJ open their set with Sir Ian McKellen's monologue from Shakspear's play "Sir Thomas More"?

Seahawks by 50
Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."
After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Super Bowl advice? Hand the ball off.
Heads up, Seattle: Aki Kurose Middle School in Hillman City and Cleveland STEM High School in Beacon Hill are sheltering in place after ICE activity was reported in the area.
I had no idea the Seahawks would win on the the first play of the game. But that’s all they needed. They just needed 7 points.

Sure. That’s the main thing here to consider, NPR.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations
This is sad.
The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.
Congrats!
You burn the house down and walk away. That’s what you do.
Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.
Please indulge yourself at the mountain goats merch table this week to offset how poorly I’ve controlled my book buying habit at Magus and Elliott Bay in Seattle, thank you, I tried to control myself but didn’t
Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.
Completely unrelated, but this little shop wouldn’t be compliant in new construction in Seattle where retail mandates a 30’ depth for some arbitrary reason. Zoning codes and city planners do not know how to make good buildings.

‘We’re proud to be pioneers’: inside Spain’s community energy revolution
From Taradell to Galicia, cooperatives are supplying cheap, clean electricity to homes and helping tackle fuel poverty

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.
100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.
That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.
