California alone produces a third of all the food America eats. So this is a lie.
But let’s break down the food produced by the red states:
Guess what percent is harvested by people from Latin America?

“People don’t want energy; they want hot showers and cold beer.” This is what Amory Lovins once said and so true.
Most primary energy we use is wasted in converting heat to work. We don’t have to replace all primary energy - we only need to deliver the energy services more efficiently.

NEW from me:
Political hostility, high visa fees and (in the case of the UK) stagnant incomes are making the UK and US less attractive destinations for top international talent.

Proud of the work I published with @djphysicswebb.bsky.social . Gender Gap in intro physics is eliminated when employing retake exams because women do better on the FIRST try - suggesting exam STAKES (not differences in preparation/understanding) explain gender gap. 🧪 link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/...
High-stakes exams inflate a gender gap and contribute to systematic grading errors in one introductory physics series
A study in introductory physics suggests high-stakes exams are causing a gender gap, rather than measuring it.

Compare Earth’s escalating warmth to your body’s fever.
Now all of a sudden a few degrees is the difference between life and death!

“Is Inferno an isekai”, the longest thread in the history of the medieval literature forum locked by the mods after 4269 pages
Taking an existing world and adding yourself as a self insert where everything revolves around you is classic fan fiction writer behavior. Is Dante a Mary Sue?
