India proves it can be done. Canada should step up.
Good morning with good news: India meets 50% renewables & nuclear capacity target 5 years early!
As clean capacity deploys, clean electricity production surges.
Solar grew from 5 TWh in 2014 to 48 TWh in 2019 & 137 TWh in 2024.
Hydro was 157 TWh; wind 82 TWh; nuclear 55 TWh in 2024. #energysky

Looking at houses online for fun, but woah, all these open-concept houses give me the willies. The kitchen, dining room, and living room are all in the same space. How do you escape the noise of the TV? Or wash the dishes while someone else reads? The proliferation of sound would be hateful.

A friend has a small island special effects business specializing in prosthetics that has hit upon hard times. Supply issues, tariffs, and so on. If you've seen me at Halloween, you've seen his work. He's amazing at what he does. He's fundraising a small sum. Help if you can?

I don't get dogs, man. I'm standing in the pelting rain, the wind so strong my umbrella has turned inside out, shivering in the sudden drop in temperature, while my dog takes her sweet time sniffing a spot some other dog—one she won't ever meet—pissed in six hours ago.
