“Concrete is already the world’s most-used construction material, so why not take advantage of that scale to create other benefits?”
Wild. They are figuring out how to store electricity in ... concrete.
Concrete “battery” developed at MIT now packs 10 times the power
New concrete and carbon black supercapacitors with optimized electrolytes have 10 times the energy storage of previous designs and can be incorporated into a wide range of architectural forms.

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

Partly because so many formerly leftwing parties have turned to the right, there's a lot of confusion about what right and left mean in politics. I hope this helps:
The right defends economic power.
The left resists economic power.

The traffic in Boston is from suburban white people.

Imagine how much anti-immigration brainrot you must have to think the problem with Boston traffic is "illegals" commuting into the city from Lowell or Stoughton in their $80,000 Ford F-3500s to work construction jobs downtown. Oh wait that's like, every contractor I see in the city. 🙄
