China is highly dependent on Middle Eastern oil and gas. But its pivot to electrification and clean energy is helping protect the country from the fallout of the war in Iran.
Ubiquitously advertised betting available through the computer you carry in your pocket via apps designed and managed by ruthlessly efficient data scientists and programmers seems like a mistake. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
Old enough to remember when 42 degrees felt warm (last week).
Never has south Philly’s baseball allegiances been tested like tonight.
Top notch work. Literally the reason I stay on this webpage.
Agree! Let’s talk. DMs are open.
Good news: the state of Kentucky set a state record and doubled its solar energy in 2025.
Kentucky jumped from 40th to 11th in U.S. state rankings for solar energy installed in just two years.
Nice work!
Three years into the Generative AI era, cheating is rising in schools and we have to be honest about it. Neither techno-utopians nor blue-book nostalgists have useful answers. Here's what we're actually trying at SLA — and why it feels so fragile right now.
Wow. I can hear Frank DeFord’s voice in my head right now.
I have a dozen runners up that I hope stand the test of time.
I accidentally read this as “exomorons” and might run with it.
No disrespect to the original authors.
Or exomoons, for that matter.

I spend a lot of time sad about the state of my country as much as the anger comes across as the primary feeling.
Something that perpetually eats at me is that every kid in America cannot sit down in front of the television and just watch Sesame Street and learn and smile anymore.
I mean, isn’t all of it?
I bet this will be great! @emorwee is, age aside, a true veteran of these wars!

Trump referred to voting as a "privilege" rather than a right. It's generally "voting rights," not "voting privileges."
@lindaholmes.bsky.social posting about #phillies spring training gives me great joy.

“For those patients who have simply disappeared, we are left to wonder whether they are hiding at home, detained, deported or dead.” Three medical providers recount what it’s like caring for patients amid President Trump’s immigration crackdown.
They are putting the exhibits back up about the people George Washington enslaved at the President’s House site at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia and someone is playing “Fight the Power” and “Celebration.” It feels like such a relief to see humanity, history & sanity prevail.

Their friend, Dan McQuade, planned to write about their Philly-themed episode. But he passed away before he could do so.
Selman and Nangle decided to add him to it — days before it aired www.inquirer.com/sports/dan-m...
Love me some plug & play solar.
It’s easy, fast, safe, and doesn’t depend on permitting or infrastructure.
As pointed out here, it’s a consistent pattern across Trump departments to compel compliance through the threat of constraint without having to go to the trouble of actually carrying through on it
Super excited about this...

Absolutely love this video of two 50 y-o women attempting every Winter Olympic sport (and laughing throughout). This is the #Joy we need to cultivate in our lives.

“Far beyond just saving riders money, free buses deliver a cascade of benefits, from easing traffic to promoting public safety,” Emily Galvin Almanza writes. “And it doesn’t have to be costly — in fact, it can come out just about even.”
HERE FOR THIS.
Going to be a lot of very athletic multi-national babies named Cortina soon.
