I just love this man. It’s not enough that he’s funny, but he gotta be beautiful too. Second time watching him. First @ Chicago’s Zanies last winter & now miraculously in Jakarta? 😭

I first saw the heretical combination of the subheading of "ECOLOGY" and title, "The beauty of slag," and I swooned.

Sometimes, when I’m especially pissed, I recite Sandra’s monologue from “Anatomy of a Fall” line by line, words by words, and I feel better 😇
"You complain about a life that YOU chose. You are not a victim. Not at all. Your generosity conceals something dirtier and meaner.”

Woke up @ 5:30. Finished a cynical podcast for morning morale at 6:15. Deep cleaned the kitchen, dining room, living room & my bed by 7:20. Breakfast before 8 am. Life is doable sometimes.

I have been teaching at Brown University for 16 years, and have considered campus and Providence as one of the safest places I've ever lived in the U.S. Still, it's happened here.
My heart goes out to those students and families as they deal with this. We owe them better.

Yes and no. Renewables are "cheap" in large part because installed where land is cheapest, far away from demand -- hence the grid bottlenecks.
I.e. the legendary "cheapness" is artificial. Include the cost of (a) land near demand, or (b) the necessary grid upgrades, and it doesn't look so good.

Grid bottlenecks aren’t a failure of the energy transition — they’re proof it’s working.
Renewables got cheap fast, and now the grid has to catch up. Time to build the wires for the clean energy system we already have.

Thinking of my New School friends whose programs have been closed (~30 of them), whose PhD programs have been indefinitely halted, and who are now receiving invitations to resign + accept severance payments — with the threat of 🪓 if not enough folks take the offer. A ✨-if-imperfect place ruined 😥

Often the most activist academics are those on the right, not the left. Here’s a 2023 profile of conservative academic Patrick Deneen, who is a mentor to both JD Vance & Pete Hegseth & who chaired Hegseth’s thesis committee at Princeton.

‘I Don’t Want to Violently Overthrow the Government. I Want Something Far More Revolutionary.’
Republican politicians are embracing the “postliberal” ideas of Patrick Deneen. But just what is he calling for?
