Enzymatic structural material (ESM) is a concrete replacement that uses enzymes to convert CO2 into solid mineral particles that are bound together and cured under mild conditions into structural forms within hours. Imagine a world where we sequester carbon with every brick instead of releasing it.

My annual dance recital. The work to the student choreographers do to get us into performing shape is inspiring. And for the ones that I teach, I think it’s helpful to see me struggle mightily as I learn.
Still reflecting on this after attending @perchperchson.bsky.social’s performance tonight in the teacher dance at the annual school culture show. The teachers humble themselves by learning choreography from their students, & the whole night is a celebration of music and dance from around the world.

Masculinity is based on a point system.
For example, you want to: lift weights, punch stuff, be hairy, be angry, use chainsaws, deep voice, etc. You add them up, and that's how manly you are.
Anyway, the point is you can suck as much dick as you want, so you long you punch stuff in equal measure.

Nolan Finley’s “AI is Making Old Guys Obsolete” would be better titled “you don’t have to put up with assholes to get information anymore”
And the irony of him using ChatGPT as his source as to why this is happening. You could have asked an old guy…
What does he even add to the Detroit discourse?

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."
