Warning: Wonky 🧵 on vague energy/climate modeling ideas. Many papers I read in this field aim to compare climate mitigation scenarios or optimize mitigation pathways. The modeled transitions have lots of impacts: ⬆️ or ⬇️ deaths, illnesses, jobs, money, and so on.

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

I'll be mostly in New Mexico still! And first up is probably some rate cases from our biggest utility, plus IRP work, plus hopefully some kind of legislative initiative around GETs.

so as a general fyi: after a fantastic 4.5 years, I have left my post at the state of New Mexico as of, uh, today I am taking July (and half of August) off! And then I'm going to go make all sorts of trouble as a clean power policy specialist for Western Resource Advocates (an eNGO). 😄

“This amount of coalescing against the far-right by no means looked certain as of a week ago. While it can't just erase Macronists' extraordinarily equivocating 'pox on both houses' rhetoric during the campaign, it does make it a lot harder for the far-right to win on Sunday.”

The reality is that, so far, there's little polling evidence that Biden's lost much support since the debate. But that's not gonna permeate the bluesky ecosystem because election/polling twitter didn't migrate over here.

let me put this another way: despair, or its new name, doomerism, asserts omniscience--that things cannot be better, that all possibilities of good are already foreclosed, that you can know this as fact. it looks like humility, but it's all ego. it is, in fact, the assumption of godhood.

Yes, but I think you're hearing tonal variation at higher pitch rather than a true gender-based pronunciation difference. (women tend to have more tonal variation; it is easier to hear tonal variation at higher pitches.)

My Turkish is basically nonexistent except for the ability to write/read simple sentences now. (Admittedly I haven't seriously worked on it since maybe 2017, when I was still going to Turkey regularly.) I always lose speech before literacy.

I can get there sometimes by making a very-complex English syntactical parallel - like, "Bu kitabı Ahmet için aldım." Which in direct translation is 'this book Ahmet-for bought-I'. But it's easier to think into 'This book, for Ahmet I bought it'.
