New study reveals surprising side effects linked to driving electric vehicles: 'It … has an immediate impact' "These findings show that [it] isn't just a theory β€” it's already happening in communities."

This study reports that even adding a small number of electric vehicles improves the air quality of a neighborhood. See? It's true, even small changes can make a big difference!

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Emissions Are Still Rising. That Doesn’t Mean We’re Failing When 196 nations adopted the momentous Paris climate accord, the UK prime minister at the time, David Cameron, wrote on Twitter: β€œOur grandchildren will see we did our duty.”

Prices for solar panels and EVs are going down, which means there is good climate news tucked in amongst the horrors. The charts of solar installations in a lot of African countries are just vertical lines, and 70% of all cars imported to Nepal this year were EVs.

There are a lot of things that make me mad. Like. A long list. But fake AI videos of wild animals doing cute things that animals do in fact do, make me so unreasonably mad. Should this incite the most rage in my heart, of all the horrible things going on right now? No. But here we are.

U.S. seizes β€˜very large’ oil tanker off Venezuelan coast, Trump says The seizure was a significant escalation in the U.S. pressure campaign against Venezuelan President NicolΓ‘s Maduro and his country’s oil-dependent economy.

Just noting that no one is ever going to seize a tanker full of solar energy

I don't know all the ins and outs of this particular company or its bankruptcy, however I do think we'll be seeing a lot more bankruptcies like this in the farming industry thanks to Trump's erratic policies.

LONG RAMBLING EMOTIONAL THREAD:

It's World AIDS Day. Since the Administration has decided to keep it quiet, I'd like to share my introduction to AIDS.

I grew up in Seattle. My mom remarried a man who had a brother who was a King County Sheriff's Deputy. His name was Terry and he was gay. 1/x

Writing builds resilience by changing your brain, helping you face everyday challenges Resilience is often presented as feats of bravery and endurance. But everyday practices like journaling, drafting a text or even writing a to-do list are manifestations of a capacity to adapt.

Writing doesn't just help you process your thoughts.

Neuroscientists have found it physically changes your brain in ways that build resilience and help you handle everyday stress and challenges.

Leftism doesn't mean "I get other people's labor for free because I'm poor" and Capitalism isn't a synonym for "selling things." At this rate, online leftists are going to polarize themselves into fighting wars for Anthropic and OpenAI bc they've "nationalized art."

If Mamdani invites Trump to Gracie Mansion and serves him 1980’s surf-and-turf and chocolate cake with a chilled can of Diet Coke in a graciously appointed dining room, we might be able to get Medicare For All.

This is a great read. There is no way to know where this is all going, but the one thing we can be sure of is that Thiel and his creepy peers are not on our side.

The surprising countries pulling off stunningly fast clean energy transitions | CNN Fossil fuel production is still increasing and the United States is in climate denial mode. But, globally, the use of renewable energy is on the rise β€” and several countries are shifting to solar fast...

As horrible as the US has become on renewables thanks to Trump's policies, it is heartening to see that the renewable revolution charges ahead in the rest of the world. Pakistan, for example, went from no solar, to 30% of is energy from solar in just six years!
