Greenpeace lost – not because it did something wrong but because it was denied a fair trial

So President Jabba just personally pardoned cop killers. So none of us can support him anymore.

And Elon just did a Nazi salute. So none of us can support him anymore.

Which kindof leaves me no choice, but to announce…

The New American Golden Age is over.

But what a Golden 1/2 hour it was.

LEBENSRAUM.

Trump just said that’s what he wants.

Territorial expansion. Because he feels the US deserves more land.

The Nazis felt the same.

And so the peoples around them should be: deported, exterminated or enslaved.

Canada needs to focus. And fight.

Give them nothing.

What happens when techno-optimism meets energy system realism? My latest for @BloombergNEF is a long read on AI, called The Power and the Glory. So that's Boxing Day sorted!

This year will go down in history as the year the energy sector woke up to AI. This is also the year AI woke up to energy. Is the data center power frenzy just the latest of a long line of energy sect...

Wikipedia does one helluva job on incoming President Jabba:

“An exemplar of lust, greed & gluttony… He lives off slavery, gunrunning & extortion… Amuses himself by torturing, humiliating & killing his enemies & subordinates… Surrounds himself with scantily-clad slave girls… Appetite insatiable.

Brendan Shanahan played for those great Wings teams that combined skill (Federov, Datsyuk) and power wingers - Shanny, Holmstrom, Franzen.

But after years of trying to teach Mikheyev or Engvall or Bertuzzi to do it, he’s finally got the talent.

Matty Knies and Bobby McMann.

Fantastic to see.

To be clear, my general philosophy is… screw David Brooks.

But that said… the elite US university system has simply NOT done much to open up the system to talents lower down.

He nails it and has some good ideas.
David Brooks' "How the Ivy League Broke America" article in the latest issue of The Atlantic is a fascinating read. There's some really insightful stuff in here.
