A decade ago, solar power barely registered in Hungary’s electricity mix — just 0.2% of generation. Back then, nuclear, coal, and gas dominated the grid.
Fast forward ten years and solar power now supplies around 1/4 of Hungary’s electricity — a remarkable transformation.

November 1 is Christmas Podcast Day, and many of your favorite holiday shows are posting episodes celebrating It's a Wonderful Life. Here's a 2021 episode of Christmas Clatter (RIP) where I joined host Todd to interview the legendary Karolyn Grimes, who played Zuzu Bailey. #filmsky 📽️

@anthonyhurd.bsky.social Today is complicated and challenging. To receive your sticker "You are loved by ..." And to have seen that side of the book first felt really helpful.

Today is the Sports Equinox, one of the few times where many of America’s pro-sports play on the same day. We wish our MLBPA, NFLPA, MLSPA, and NHLPA union members the best during their games today. As you watch them play, remember that they’re union strong!

Today I did some traveling on my local transit system. Portland and Seattle projects have spent "1% for art" for some time. Like everything in the USA, the problem is no money set aside for maintenance. store.trimet.org/publicart/bl...
Public Art on MAX Blue Line — Westside
The Westside MAX Public Art Program was one of the country’s earliest, most ambitious efforts to integrate the vision of artists into public transit and the first such program for TriMet.

I made 27 gifs (from scratch!) of video game characters dying like Mario does to discuss the origin of this peculiar bit of pixel animation. Enjoy!
