Thanks largely to Biden and the Democratic party there is now a kind of global race to get to the mass, chear carbon-free energy. We're going to hit peak global emissions (fingers crossed) this year or next. We're deploying solar at a level that blowing away every single prediction.

That time I tweeted that most women of my generation and younger have nudes, and that we shouldn’t penalize them, but scorn the people that leak them. It went very viral and then my boss called and fired me and then an hour later I got another call from telling me I definitely wasn’t fired.

Oh, forgot enabling legislation for disqualifying insurrectionists from office, Electoral College reform, a jail run by Capitol Police where you go if you blow off a subpoena, broader Congressional oversight powers to reassert the balance vs the executive, and other laws codifying norms Trump broke.
