If not for the deployment of the military, this would be the biggest story right now. Or at least it should be...

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.
These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.
The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

In 1979, Jimmy Carter had 32 solar panels installed on the roof of the White House. They were removed seven years later under Ronald Reagan.
But they found new homes at a college in Maine, where they continued to generate power for years, and eventually ended up scattered around the U.S. and China.

What Happened to Carter’s White House Solar Panels? They Lived On.
The panels, removed under Ronald Reagan, found new homes from Maine to China. And their legacy still reverberates.

My single prediction for 2025 in tech: Trump is asking for the delay in ban/force sale going into effect, so Elon can make a bid for TikTok, prolly with involvement from Larry Ellison (again) and other Twitter investors (again) in order to turn a lemon into rancid lemonade. China will cooperate.

On this day 30 years ago:
...The Pick... Kenny Wheaton...
Some duck fans were at the stadium.
Some were watching from home.
Others were too small.
While some had not breathed a breath of Duck air yet.
We're all here now, joined in our hatred for a common enemy.
Bring the heat Ducks!
