The fate of fossil fuel systems in the "mid-transition" I talk with Emily Grubert about the hidden dangers of letting the free market manage the decline of our legacy energy infrastructure.

Today on Volts: for the next few decades, we'll be in the "mid-transition," with clean energy systems growing as FF systems decline. Those FF systems will not decline smoothly -- there will be thresholds, "cliffs," where they suddenly crumble -- so maybe we should, I dunno, plan for it?

Electronic music is a genre that was started and shaped by women, so on International Women's Day, here are some Bandcamp recommendations for women making some of the best electronic music you can get today. 🧡

The most progressive shows on TV are food shows - the ones that travel round the UK, visiting diverse communities, highlighting the incredible food they cook. Gentle, friendly, fully accepting of different cultures, they're one of the biggest bulwarks against racist fuckwittery.

Revisiting this as we're doing it for the next Quietus podcast. What a record! Still sounds like nothing else & my favourite New York record (one of my favourites of all time and anywhere tbh)

Tao Huabi - Wikipedia

"Tao Huabi (Chinese: ι™ΆεŽη’§; born January 1947) is a Chinese entrepreneur, best known as the founder of the chili sauce brand Lao Gan Ma ("Old Godmother") ... In 2015, Forbes China estimated her net worth at $1.05 billion."

Happy lady, indeed.

Red Dwarf's opening
Red Dwarf's opening YouTube video by introseries

Sad news about Rob Grant. Tangential to his writing I know, but I could never get over the opening titles of the early series of Red Dwarf, their epic loneliness – what a way to start a sitcom

That really is astonishing!

However, unlike for SNEWS I won’t be personally installing the alerts app.
