Feel free to steal: Every Friday we are having "calling hours" from 5-dark. Basically, we hang out in our yard and anyone we know is invited to come hang with us. We provide a keg and whatever else is available. We don't clean the house. People come when they can. We call it Redneck Bridgerton

True across papers: climate/energy desk pubs accurate coverage of complex issues in power sector; finance/business desk offers outmoded and inaccurate snippets of "conventional wisdom" that have been demonstrably wrong for years. It's like those corners of the professional world in microcosm.

When you realize we can measure the biomass of the entire planet and observe changes over time it makes you wonder why we don’t somehow peg the value of our economies to the natural support systems that sustain our lives instead of to the amount of stuff we make to pollute and destroy those systems.

Yup! I think many people don’t understand how good batteries are now. We have an EV and one backup battery. With those we can run our full house (excepting microwave and tankless water heater) for ~ 3-4 days. We donated our gas generator to the neighborhood to run well pumps during emergencies.

For grid resiliency we need more electric cars as/and backup batteries--not less. And our backup batteries power our wall mounted heatpump just fine. www.nrel.gov/news/program...

We keep talking about Trump ordering Seal Team 6 to kill his rivals. I don't that's how it'll work - too much chain of command involved. He'd rather assemble a small team of loyal military operatives assigned to the White House, who answer only to him, to take such orders. Basically a death squad.

53% of children followed from birth through age 15 experienced some form of (mostly temporary) housing insecurity. All children who experienced any level of - even temporary - housing insecurity had worse physical & mental health outcomes, with more housing instability correlating to worse health.

Fantastic reporting from Krista Langlois, about a spot on the precipice
Something I always appreciate about @hakaimagazine.com is that they include the names of editors and fact checkers in the articles—it’s good practice that should be standard, but is not.

My field is more than 60% women. Shark Week, marine biology's biggest stage, doesn't just feature more men than women... it features more guys named Mike than women. And that's ignoring the pseudoscientific nonsense, wildlife harassment, and near complete lack of any real conservation content 🧪🦑
