This week is the NYC OceanTech Summit and I am buzzing right now. I need to thank JP Morgan buff.ly/cYaPtlg for supporting the summit this year. This team is awesome, and one of those groups of people who are really connecting the dots in climate and tech in the area.

Ok. Crazy idea.
Reboot the muppets, but follow the original variety show format from the 70s.
Don't explain it. Don't reform it. No modern CGI. Don't change the format. Just modern guests.
Hollywood, hear me. This is a great idea.
That's the point though. They don't really care. The orders aren't expected to hold, just cause enough chaos to eliminate faith in the institutions. If they win one, they'll be happy. If they win none, they'll still be happy.
Ugh no. Really? Have a reference I could read?
As an environmentalist, I love congestion pricing. Reducing cars on the road - awesome.
As a New Jerseyan l'm a little pissed. Does the money go to public transit? Great. How much of the $$ is for NJ Transit vs LIRR?
Money/benefits are mismatched.
The first BlueX of the new year is out. I've got Blue Economy jobs, venture investing, and news. 2025 is going to be a good year for Blue Tech.

Hard agree.
LD's episode on DS9? :: Chef's kiss::
Jimmy Carter, in my opinion, was a great man. As a fellow submariner I always felt a connection to him. His works were inspiring, and I hope we all can make him proud.
RIP, we have the watch.
Can you have a Christmas hangover without booze? I'm exhausted from being Clark Griswold for a day.
How did you get the full script of my TED talk?
Merry Christmas to all, may it be a sustainable, plastic free holiday.
This year Santa brought me shirts that were sustainably and ethically sourced. Wrapped in recycled wrapping paper colored with env friendly dyes.
If you don't hear this in Michael Caine's voice. . .I just don't know man.
The Biden Admin just approved the 2.4 gigawatt SouthCoast Wind Project off Mass. & R.I. It's the nation’s 11th approved commercial-scale offshore wind project & brings the total approved by Biden's Dept of Interior to more than 19 gigawatts--enough to power >6M homes.

I'm watching the original Muppet Show with my kids and am having a blast. Disney should reboot this IP with the EXACT same premise as the original show, no like-the-office, no late night show, and no plot driven episodic arches.
Just a variety show. Comedy, music, guest stars, and goofy monsters.
I should add that I'm a social person who is active in my local gossipy suburban PTO.
I count at least 15 asks.
