I've been thinking about in so many conversations on so many topics people seem to have a hard time walking and chewing gum at the same time aka holding the three thoughts in the charts below at the same time...

@WestMarinFeed From Bolinas...

Saturday night sunset from Stinson Beach.

@McNamara_Philip Are you here?!?

SF at night….

Love this thread and, most importantly, that they have docks at the airport! Next time I fly to DCA. And makes me want to know at which airports this is possible!

Yeah! A rockstar at a great organization with a pretty remarkable body of #impinv work! If you haven't checked it out you should!

@bslotterback Been there. Done that :)

A thread about a nice walk

Calm start to the day in Inverness as we await Storm #2. This one will be wetter. Stay safe, be prepared. WMF will be out of town, so let me know what you see happening.

@WestMarinFeed Done! And thanks!!

If you found WMF helpful this weekend, please help support this feed by becoming a member. Only $50 a year. More then just sunsets! Thank you! thewestmarinfeed.com/wmf_membership…

@robinsonmeyer @JesseJenkins @heatmap_news Thanks for link - I tried searching on Spotify and got panicked when I couldn't find it (may be user error). Excited for this! Also made me feel like a boomer/strange person as I use the soon to be defunct google podcasts....

@JesseJenkins @heatmap_news Or listen on Spotify, if that’s how you get podcasts: open.spotify.com/show/0war1dXXC… And you can read more about the announcement here: heatmap.news/podcast/shift-…

SHIFT KEY is a new podcast from @JesseJenkins and me. Each week, Jesse and I are going to talk about one big thing that we find fascinating from the world of climate and decarbonization. EVs, renewables, fossil fuels, you name it. Subscribe now on Apple Podcasts & Spotify.

@WestMarinFeed And Bolinas

Power out in Inverness Park and Inverness.

It's here: my annual presentation on decarbonization. There is a lot going on, and I attempt to capture it in 200 slides. Ocean heat content, deforestation, fund performance, vehicle efficiency, lighting technology, GLP-1 agonists, and much more. nathanielbullard.com/presentations

@robinsonmeyer My pet idea on that front has been Pokemon-go style AR Monopoly

That someone only just now thought to make a video game that’s “Pokémon with guns” makes me think that all that stuff about science and art getting harder over time is totally wrong; Amory Lovins is right, we’re surrounded by $100 bills that we can’t see and won’t pick up

@McNamara_Philip @OpenAI @randomhouse Are you really having AI try to compete with your 4 year old? Cian wins every time! And have AI try the pump track ....

Until @OpenAI can find all 4 stars in this picture, I won’t be satisfied. It tends to hallucinate a lot when you give it a challenge like this. (I still can’t find the 4th star, BTW @randomhouse) #richardscarry

My 15 year old went to his first high school dance and came home with a realization - "When you go to a dance with a group of girls, you are the pockets."

@i3impact Ummm, what happened?

Damn. Some scorpions pack a helluva neurotoxin punch.

@WestMarinFeed Not bad in bolinas....

That was an amazing sunset. From up above Stinson Beach.

@robinsonmeyer You just told us not to think of an elephant though. Curses Rob!

Don’t tweet the “t” word about inflation. Just don’t tweet it. Even alluding to it is risky. Possibly *thinking* it is powerful enough to to keep CPI elevated for another two months, due to the power of the Reverse Secret

Got to put this into practice yesterday on the way back from picking up Eli on the big purple tandem. Venmo makes it easy!

One thing that was not on my bingo card or my wish list was 200 plus aqi in New York. Smells like California in the fall :(. On the plus side my bag still has n95's in it....

@kaleekreider @robinsonmeyer I also think there's a difference between "better" - technical superiority - vs. a more prosaic non technical better user experience (faster, quieter, more fun, etc.)

@robinsonmeyer I want to agree, but the best technology doesn't always win...Beta v VHS, NTSC v PAL, etc. There are other considerations ppl make.

This is why I’m a little skeptical of the “coming EV culture war” claims. Sure, you might think you don’t need or want an EV now. Then you’ll test drive one or your friend will get one. And you’ll discover the best cars getting made rn just happen to be electric.
