If your annual income is $100,000 (a good salary by European standards), then you'd earn a million dollars in ten years. But to earn a trillion dollars, you'd need to work for ten million years--which is about 30 times longer than our species has existed.

The right is insisting political violence is an inherently left-wing problem. From Trump to his 2024 U.S Senate endorsee Blake Masters: “The political aggression and taste for violence against innocent people are all coming from the left.”
But here are the facts, as per the Anti-Defamation League.

This has been worse than “both sides!”
Not just claims that Charlie Kirk calling for the murder of Democrats and Democrats denouncing the murder of Charlie Kirk are equal, but that Kirk did politics the right way, so we’d be better off if more acted like him and if Dems were more supportive of that.

I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed.
Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing.
Both sides!

Our abdication of the field in both green energy and in science and technology more broadly – read up on battery technology coming out of China – is going to ensure that this century, which could have been ours to lead, will belong to China. Entirely an own goal.
Important.
1/ New report from @bentleyallan.bsky.social's Net Zero Policy Lab: As the US withdraws from green tech industries and pressures allies to follow suit, China is stepping in to power the developing world's energy transition. The scale is staggering.

China's July 2025 solar production was ~50% higher than its July 2024 solar output!
China's solar generated 839 TWh in 2024 and will likely exceed 1,200 TWh in 2025.
China's solar will generate in 2025 an amount of electricity equal to about 27% of USA's electricity demand. #energysky

After neurologist Bruce Dobkin got a cochlear implant, he started to hear a choir singing “The Star Spangled Banner” on repeat.
Turns out he is not alone. Audiologists surveying patients with hearing impairment have found that anywhere from 4% to 20% experience musical hallucinations.
