personal news: I'm joining @peaceinnovation institute led by @margaquihuis & @mark__nelson & launched in #TheHague by the Peace Innovation Lab @Stanford to focus on pro-social behavior at scale. We are attempting to change how #ESG & #sustainability are perceived. More to come!

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 16 years, since 12 Mar 2007 (via @twi_age).

Happy holidays to all ! #TwitterVacation

@nectarios Won’t happen with this government which needs explain why Qc is dead last re booster rollout in Canada. That’s why we’re the COVID epicenter, again. They should also explain why they let rapid tests locked in warehouses for months, most of which are no longer usable.

Apparently, it's a shit show in ICUs in Montreal. The government should openly share all relevant data about the status at hospitals. It would people understand what's going on vs. bland statements like "we need to be more vigilant".

@ParkerMolloy 🎯He was joined, loudly, by certain Silicon Valley “leaders” who were actively shaming mask wearers on this platform and others. The CDC dropped the ball re masks and it’ll be harder now to make the case that they won’t go away (see Japan and their longtime use).

#Omicron is challenging our collective intelligence and abilities to plan ahead. Our hospital systems are close to the max, esp b/c staff is getting sick. Re-upping from Fall 2020 👇🏻 cc @danielharan

Reviving U.S. heavy industry would build a safer, more sustainable world: Clean product standards should cover all goods sold in the United States—and here is the key—requiring importers to follow the same standard as domestic producers.  marketwatch.com/story/reviving… cc @NPDeMember

si le Québec atteint les 10,000 cas/jour on va dépasser même la médecine de brousse dont parlais TRES justement @kick1972. Pourquoi attendre aussi longtemps ? Ne voit-on les décisions des Pays Bas par exemple ? journaldemontreal.com/2021/12/21/ver…

Pourquoi attendre demain pour nous dire que nous allons en #couvrefeu ? cc @PatWhite70

Slowest Growth on Record for America’s Population “can be attributed to decreased net international migration, decreased fertility&increased mortality due in part to COVID-19.” my take: population crash=📉in hard&soft power for America census.gov/newsroom/press… via @axios

They’ve shrunk 10x faster in the past 40 years than in the previous 7 centuries. The Himalayas is the source of 10 major river basins that provide drinking water, irrigation, and power to about 1.9 billion people. morningbrew.com/daily/stories/… via @MorningBrew

@Tpsmyth01 @RonSteenblik @ClaireBerlinski @MeredithAngwin Quebec (where I live) is also doing its part to help decarbonize NY state cbc.ca/amp/1.6182195

@RonSteenblik @ClaireBerlinski @fredericg @MeredithAngwin industry is concentrated in two places, Quebec with cheap, clean, and green power but also WV and KY with cheap and very DIRTY coal power which gives WV a reason not to kill coal(don't want to lose jobs to Quebec)

@ClaireBerlinski @fredericg @RonSteenblik I think it might be interesting to have Frederic and Ron debate some of the changes France and Macron are proposing to the EU Single Electricity Market if for anything Ron is one of the only people I know who might have anything good to

@moorehn 🎯🎯Schumer will be remembered as the most ineffective “leader” in forever. Notice how NO ONE talks about him at all on the BBB fiasco ? He’s no doubt a talented fundraiser ;)

My second essay on the decline of decline of novelty in art, science, and technology in the 21st century theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… In Hollywood, at the NIH/NSF, and in US energy policy, our markets are failing to promote new ideas that drive progress and growth.

@aravosis Psaki’s press release does not give enough space to Biden’s policy achievements in easy repeatable bullet points. Dems keep repeating their mistakes it’s maddening. Where are the message meisters ?

Manchin kills Build Back Better, says he'll vote NO: While some are blaming Democrats, the fault is with Manchin, the GOP and the voters who handed us an evenly-divided Senate. My take. cyberdisobedience.substack.com/p/manchin-bbb-…

Jen Psaki Accuses Manchin of Betrayal, 'Breach of His Commitments' in Scathing Response to Senator's Build Back Better Opposition mediaite.com/a/lwgiv via @mediaite my take: this is counterproductibe&won’t move Manchin one inch. Dems need to find common ground w Murkowski.

@BFriedmanDC No one thought Dems would win 2 GA seats before Trump’s scorched earth campaign. Biden’s moderate stance > Warren’s more left of center given how broken DC is. IMO federal level as change agent is DOA given SCOTUS+filibuster. States eg CA/NY/IL are where Dems should focus energy
