Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

We received 125 applications for the energy policy analyst role at Gridworks. It's like sorting through an embarrassment of riches. There are so many qualified applicants, refugees from fed agencies. It's sad we can only hire one. Reach out if you're hiring; happy to forward candidates along to you.

I think it sucks that as far as I know the only way to get off a starter pack you don’t want to be on here is to block its creator but here we are. If anyone knows a more graceful way to exit a starter pack please lmk.

So when I first started grad school, my advisor gave me a problem to predict when arc furnaces would turn on. I literally said, "couldn't we just ask them to call 10 minutes prior?"...

Feels like a good time to mention I'm primarying Tom Suozzi, one of the only 7 House Dems to vote for ICE funding last month.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.
Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

One thing might be: code a first person game where the student tries to balance it. (if you haven't tried, it can be surprisingly hard!). that may motivate the problem?

And the analogy about the construction worker falls flat if you add: the construction worker is selling you the nailgun (and nails).
