I walked a lonely road, passion nearly gone, lost in the dark before the dawn. My muse had faded through my own remorse, anger rising in me by my own course. Then, for reasons unknown, God lifted my eyes above. God had painted my gray sky and filled it with love.

+1 to this. i have taken to trying to do a 30 minute jog on the treadmill most days and it has done wonders for my health and general state of mind.
not gonna evangelize about it but tbh coming to understand the value of cardio is one of the biggest positive changes I've made of any kind to my adult life, for whatever that's worth
Fitness gurus are always knocking cardio. Well, the elliptical is super effectively for weight loss. It’s low impact so you can do it for long time periods, every day. I can burn 800-1000 calories in an hour. I can do it daily. I lost 100 lbs once doing nothing but that damned boring elliptical.

2025 was the year of attacks on free and fair elections. But the prior four years were full of missed opportunities. Today, I wrote about the Department of Justice under Biden and Trump.

2025 comes to an end.
It’s been a strong year for deployment and innovation, but a worrying one for energy politics.
Moves like the US pause on offshore wind show how quickly progress can be undermined by polarised debate.
Here’s hoping 2026 brings calmer, more evidence-based energy policymaking.

But where will we get our AI slop?
Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"
