Hey @thebostonceltics.bsky.social can you let NBC Sports Boston that we don’t need the weird high angle we’ve seen multiple times in the first quarter at Houston tonight. It isn’t enjoyable and the switch between the two different angles makes it a pain on the eyes. Thanks

Measure….reduce….that has to be the start, not magic
It is a while since I posted this, but just your annual reminder that Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) will never scale to compensate all emissions (& it would be a ludicrously expensive alternative to reductions).
If you like your money, then the razor-sharp focus would be on reducing emissions!

Don’t ever want to hear that ‘my vote doesn’t matter’
Looks like Democrats will end up ~7500 votes short of winning the House majority across three districts. That's the difference between having the power of the purse, subpoenas etc — or not — in a nation of 330+ million.
