“In 2010, the IEA estimated that there would be 410 gigawatts (GW) of solar panels installed around the world by 2035. There is already more than four times that capacity, with about half of it in China.”

Despite the scepticism about renewables in Washington, falling prices for new panels are making a compelling business case around the world

Imagine believing in the antichrist and yet refusing to see that you're the one ushering him in. Instead, Thiel posits that ... wait for it ... Greta Thunberg might actually be the antichrist. Y'all, white supremacy is an auto-disproving ideology, its own glaring failures revealing its lie.

I interviewed Paulina Borsook, who warned of tech culture's toxic underbelly over 30 years ago.

She wrote a prescient and scathing book, "Cyberselfish."

It tanked her career, but a new generation is discovering her work as tech fascism tries to kill democracy 👇

The year is 2003.

17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity."

Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.

Not all bad news…Trump pulled US out of Paris #climate agreement, & dismantled efforts against climate crisis, but 19 states remain committed to net zero, 304 large companies in US have net zero targets, up from 279. Together, they account for 2/3 of US corporate revenue, $12tn in revenue globally.

In this case, does the racism serve the cause of hurting renewable energy, or is renewable energy just the frosting on the racist cake?

"mRNA is one of the most promising technologies for preventing and treating any kind of disease that you can imagine.

Stopping development could put cures of chronic diseases such as cancer and HIV out of reach."

RFK Jr.’s halt on mRNA vaccine research risks progress on curing illnesses
The research made promising inroads on developing vaccines for cancers and HIV, which both have racial and socioeconomic disparities

🌀 Oxygen sinks in inland waters

Inland waters have become massive sinks of atmospheric oxygen. From 1900–2010, oxygen consumption tripled due to more nutrients, warming, & damming rivers

These shifts may affect climate and water quality worldwide.

Global inland-water oxygen cycle has changed in the Anthropocene
Inland waters are an increasing sink of oxygen as a result of faster oxygen turnover.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I was thinking about this today. Our lab uses BLAST all the time. Scientists pull genomes from NCBI to do comparison studies to identify new genes or figure out what genes do. Pubmed is an important tool to find published studies on most medical topics. These have to be up to date to be useful. 🧪
