"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

Incidentally, the fact that 2025 is both the sum of the first nine cubes AND a square number isn't just a coincidence particular to 2025, but a result of this funky relation between a sum of cubes and a squared sum:

1³+2³+3³+...+n³ = (1+2+3+...+n)²

Trying to find some joy because I'm responsible for protecting it in others, but I will never get over seeing what I have seen on my screens this year. Watching a genocide in real time colours everything I do and see. I don't know what 'normal' is anymore, but it's not this.

So the project I have been working on for the last three years has reached another milestone for engagement. I think it may be of interest for people into urban planning and sustainability www.goldenplains.vic.gov.au/consultation...

On 14 July, when a second Trump victory looked inevitable, I jokingly asked my brother if I should invest in gold. He said "no, invest in the things that are important to you, like friends, family, music and joy." That has been on my mind since, and now it is time to put it into practice.

Just a random sketch while waiting on a line, on top of a Zeke Hausfather chart

It just strikes me - and bugs me - that the exact same people who argue for slower climate action are also directly responsible for missing the chance for a shallow rather than steep curve

I am constantly at a loss how we keep ignoring this, and it is hard for me to keep out of the spiral to doomerism whenever I think about it
it is unfortunately predictable but nonetheless I despair at the lack of urgency on climate action given everything we've seen recently - seems to have hardly rated a mention by politicians here (aus), and in large parts of the media
‘Off-the-charts records’: has humanity finally broken the climate?
Extreme weather is ‘smacking us in the face’ with worse to come, but a ‘tiny window’ of hope remains, say leading climate scientists
