Caught the northeast regional home to Boston from DC overnight after the party last night, so that I could teach on Boston Campus today. Slept fine with Turtl product and an eye patch. Not happy though that the "cafe car" has no coffee (!). @Amtrak, you know I'm usually your biggest fan. #notjetset

Watched the Bad Bunny show live last night in DC at a party at The Grill from Ipanema in Adam's Morgan, a block from my childhood home, with friends from all over the United States and Latin America. Standing ovation. Singalong with favorite lyrics. Loud cheers.
Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Recognizing the lack of popular appeal in my boring old factual data analysis:

“You don’t really want some economist on the radio telling you, ‘Oh, don’t worry about the food prices — the Bureau of Labor Statistics says food price inflation is normal,’ ” he said.

When demand exceeds supply, higher prices may restrain demand quantities, or empty shelves may ration supply, but something somewhere must give.

These 3 sectors are always listed together as "hard-to-abate" but they are distinct.

Cement and steel are "hard-" but not "impossible-to-abate" on the supply side. New green cement and steel tech has a cost. But these techs are still highly worthwhile.

Aviation, of the 3, is even harder (1/2)
We often hear about the "hard-to-abate" emissions — especially from cement, steel, aviation...

Sometimes these are used to justify crazy carbon removal schemes.

But as Sarah Gleeson at Project Drawdown points out, "hard-to-abate" doesn't mean "impossible-to-abate"...

Hard-to-abate emissions aren't impossible-to-abate. Here's where we can start to reduce these stubborn emissions.

"Yes, obviously."

@zackpolanski.bsky.social has such strong political and personal low-carbon convictions that BBC asked if he would fly as prime minister.

Simply avoiding unnecessary flying is a sensible troll-proof position.

As we contemplate the past history and future potential of Non-Violent Direct Action (NVDA), asking ourselves whether these methods have enough muscle to really matter, we notice how much people in power fear whistles, disdain, and peaceful refusals of service.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

Even while loving democracy, we can recognize this moral limitation: politicians in a democracy sometimes find stable electoral success even while disregarding or antagonizing fractions of the population that are marginalized and disenfranchised. (1/2)

I'm glad this video has gone viral. My wife (a trumpet player) and my mother-in-law (in her late 80s) loved Brass Solidarity at the Honk festival in Cambridge this fall. If you like this spirit, locally, you may like the events page for @xrboston.bsky.social , which often features the BaBam band.

Sometimes it may be because God just wants to chat when we're not otherwise busy. When we wake up at 3am with world events on our mind, we can pray, "okay, God, you can have this time." It doesn't cure insomnia, but it cures that dreadful cycle of sleeplessness and self-criticism for sleeplessness.
Wonder why god made insomnia.

Sometimes an activity ... such as skiing ... can be enormously carbon intensive if we fly to a downhill skiing resort and zero carbon if we stash some used skis in the rafters of a garage, wait patiently for a seasonal storm, and be sure to set aside work when it arrives. #notjetset
