Today on Volts: you've probably heard some of the hype around "solid-state" batteries. What are they? What are their advantages, in terms of energy density & safety? When will they come to market? I get into all of it with a SSB CEO.

Can’t post a monarch on the 4th of July, so here’s what I think is a Great Spangled Fritillary, having a time on our milkweeds.

I remember our 5th grade field trip, standing by the statue of general Pickett, looking up that loooong, open, coverless slope, imagining a wall of cannons and rifles at the top. It was pretty clear to us this was the dumbest charge in the history of ever

Listen man, I took a 50% pay cut to go from the corporate world to work for a state policy-focused think tank when Trump was president. I do this shit because I think it's important for the country my kids will grow up in, not as part of some grift. I don't actually want bad things to happen.

Sometimes it feels like nothing is changing: as if we’re climbing the tallest mountain in the world, and the summit is no closer than when we started. But if we stop for a minute and turn around and look back, we can see how far we’ve actually come. Progress is happening, step by step.

Just made a starter pack of cat accounts that post original photos with ALT text. Let me know if you know of some that should be added! Must be primarily ORIGINAL photos/content, not stuff yoinked from the internet, and include meaningful ALT text (not just "photo of a cat"). go.bsky.app/J8yqxnN

On the websites they debate who deserves such a fate Are millionaires any better than pirates? Five men were lost, but was the search worth the cost And what about boats full of migrants?
