Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

(grabs wafer & looks in wallet for enough money for a dozen eggs)
Every year, we get closer and closer to a true “Egg Computer”.



We’ve already made:

- Egg Transistors

- Egg Resistive Memories

- Egg Supercapacitor electrodes

- AND + NOT Logic Gates



Albumin is a hilariously good organic semiconductor material.

My new article on Harold Black and the invention of the Negative Feedback Amplifier has just been posted. I start the story with the invention of the telephone in the 1870s, to a patent lawsuit in the 1940s.

Check it out. Let me know what you think.

We've barely scratched the surface of direct air carbon capture, but we're relying on it to keep climate change in check. Direct Air Capture (DAC) systems consume a lot of energy and produce toxic by-products. Will #DAC scale in the ways we need it to?
