Congrats. You have built something useful and sometimes beautiful. Thank you!

#HeatPumpNation

Yes, heat pumps really work in freezing cold weather Worldwide, people are increasingly turning to heat pumps to warm their home. The devices save money, and they're good for the environment. In Northern Europe, they've long proved their worth in colder...

„Though new buildings frequently feature #heatpumps, many #Germans remain skeptical [even though] they've long been the standard in countries like #Norway and #Finland, where winter temperatures often drop below minus 20 degrees Celsius […] for weeks.“ 🔌💡

Re: White House disgraceful commentary.

Does it really feel like we’re living in a golden age?

Always the Achilles Heel of carbon tax: Transformational in power sector; meh impact in ground transport.

A Little Extra Wind Could Help Shield MN Farmers From Instability Overseas Three organizations want to create a clean-energy ammonia source for farmers in southern Minnesota—by tapping a wind energy surplus.

Making fertilizer for Minnesota's farms uses a lot of fossil fuels. And prices just got a lot more volatile thanks to the Iranian war.

What if we used local clean energy to make it in Minnesota instead? tcbmag.com/a-little-ext...

Pro tip: Start with “we are sorry we abandoned core values.”

Trump is out of touch. He thinks the economy is great cause that’s what his billionaire buddies tell him. It’s time to change the system so it works well for all.

In MN, you should be able to afford your life on an average salary, but right now, it’s becoming harder than ever to make ends meet.

Transit and biking advocate and MN state legislator gets to and from her baby’s birth on her cargo bike with baby’s dad!

@katiejonesmpls.bsky.social, woohoo!

Blue circle logo with the words “We keep us safe” and “Mpls” set off by stars on either side of “Mpls.” The inner circle is split into 4 quadrants by lines; top left is a whistle and top right is the back of a mobile phone to honor observers & interveners; bottom left is a grocery bag to honor those engaged in mutual aid; bottom right is a protest fist but in a winter glove.

Design in first image in blue, on a white “ringer’ t shirt with matching blue collar & sleeve trim.

Hated to lose the protest mitten, but too many people clocked it as a boxing glove. I think the new “protest winter glove” will amuse those who get it while not confusing others. Shirt production next week, once I firm up link to Minneapolis Public School mutual aid; families receive proceeds.

John and I join countless people across Minnesota in mourning Sgt. First Class Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake, who made the ultimate sacrifice serving our country. Our hearts are with her family, loved ones, and all those in our armed forces.

A U.S. citizen. A Hmong elder. No criminal record. Agents rammed his door, dragged him outside in freezing weather — even though the person they were looking for had been in jail for years. Secretary Noem still won’t say it was wrong.

Persians aren’t Arabs, but ok.

i swear by used!

happy to chat with you about EVs

also am sure the fellow behind shift2electric would as well

I love my 2019 Audi Etron (even with its inefficiency / limited range.)

all are compromises balancing cost, range, charging speed with DC fast charger, and the ICCU issue in the awesome kia/hyundai cars

Love shift2electric!

No new wars.

'Changes': Tupac's song still holding a brutal message Tupac Shakur leaves a moral message in his revolutionary song 'Changes', reflecting on racial and social injustice. He explores the struggles of being black.

“And still I see no changes; can’t a brother get a little peace? / It’s war on the streets and the war in the Middle East.”

Tupac Shakur in 1992.

JDVance opinion in WSJ did not age well.

THIS.

Once again, the founders foresaw Trump perfectly, what they failed to foresee was this supine Congress.

Thanks Michael. What the world does not need is another Trump acolyte with a casual relationship with facts and truth.

I couldn’t love this more. Better than getting thrown out for heckling!

Bills the MN GOP refused to let out of committee today alone:

- Ban assault weapons (69% public support)

- Ban high capacity magazines (64% public support)

- My civil right of action for Constitutional violations (88% public support)

The GOP is on the wrong side and Minnesotans will remember.

Susan Rice is right. Now Netflix must choose. The institutions and individuals who betrayed democratic principles will bear that mark of shame well into the future.

Susan Rice saw this moment coming. She described it plainly, and she was right.

Now, Netflix must decide which side of history it wants to be on.

The right choice is obvious. The only question is whether Netflix has the courage to make it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

Saturday’s I usually commit to carpentry and listening to energy / climate podcasts. But I am a mostly-retired energy fuck, so what do I have to do?

Camus, meet men’s fashion. It’s not good over there, either.
