Great to see electrical grid open mapping projects in support of the energy transition. Was surprised, but probably shouldn't have been, to learn the degree to which state, federal, and local agencies use OSM energy infrastructure data in their tools and systems. #EnergySky #GISchat

This story of how a philosopher's thought experiment inspired a movement to impartially give away money in an attempt to save or improve other people's lives was as great as I'd hoped. I rushed to read it upon publication.
A fascinating account of Peter Singer’s controversial “drowning child” thought experiment—and how it changed the way people think about charitable giving.

In Mireille Gagné's Horsefly, things long buried (among them regrets) come to the surface. Creepy, short eco-horror. Historical fiction about environmental crimes leading to planetary-scale mayhem and how the role of perpetrators can be lost if others don't bear witness. chbooks.com/Books/H/Hors...

John Langan’s THE FISHERMAN is sad, unsettling, and, above all, brilliant. Cosmic horror trades in the ineffable, and few human experiences are more vast and horrible than grief. By pairing the two, Langan has written a novel that is as grounded as it is disquieting.

Hard to overstate how well Wang's assessment of China's ability to build illuminates abundance discourse in the US. That leadership positions are dominated by engineers in China and lawyers in the US is a fine enough framing, but Wang is a good storyteller, a journalist, and he does a lot with it.

When the kids are little, you expose them to dozens of activities, never knowing what, if anything, will stick. At a certain point, they start introducing *you* to cool stuff. And that's just the best.

The neighborhood hawks and owls have a favorite branch that hangs over a brook. Sometimes they visit the branch so often we can give them names. Climbed a tree and placed a trail cam there.

Even with bird feeders in for the summer, black bear still come right up to the house. Beautiful animal. The camera is only 16" off the ground, so not a ginormous bear.

Personal interest aside, this is great policy. The fairness justification spelled out here surprised me but made a lot of sense and seems even more pertinent for ground source units, which use less juice than air source heat pumps in winter.
It’s a good time to be a heat pump owner in Massachusetts.
Lower winter rates are already in place, and utility regulators are considering extending them even longer.
