Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?
Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

I’ve had many people ask the last couple days if I sell my art, and where. I do sell it, I’ve been a professional artist for the last 5+ years. I sell on Etsy, and on my own Website.
The woodpecker I posted on Friday isn’t for sale as it’s for an exhibition, but there will be prints available :)

Every time I talk to someone outside of Minnesota, we always spend time on *really* basic things they have don’t understand about what is happening here.
So let’s do a Q&A. What are your most basic questions about what’s going on in Minnesota?

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Here's a commercial-scale thermal battery (hot rocks!) that is providing heat at 1800C, which is what you need for processes like steel & aluminum.
Industrial heat was one of those "difficult to decarbonize" sectors until, y'know, we tried.
