My wife has been binge watching entire seasons of Survivor, it’s really an incredible historical archive of the last 25 years. You see these samples of relatively normie Americans evolve over the years from talking like Chandler to talking in therapist speak etc

The decision at #COP28 to finally recognize that the climate crisis is, at its heart, a fossil fuel crisis is an important milestone. But it is also the bare minimum we need and is long overdue. The influence of petrostates is still evident in the half measures and loopholes included in the final agreement. Fossil fuel interests went all out to control the outcome, but the passionate work of millions of climate activists around the world inspired and motivated delegates from many nations to loosen the industry’s grip. Whether this is a turning point that truly marks the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era depends on the actions that come next and the mobilization of finance required to achieve them. We must ask ourselves how much longer will the world have wait before all nations summon the political will to overcome these narrow special interests and act on behalf of the future of humanity. It is up to all of us to hold our leaders accountable to their promise to transition away from fossil fuels once and for all.

@clhubes Walked with my little guy to the grocery store alone today and got almost all the groceries we needed for the week in the stroller. He slept the whole time, but it was tenuous. I feel so accomplished.

Ummm, the cover of the new UNEP report is very good.

@clhubes Yes! I’m only two months in but the amount I accomplish in an uninterrupted 30 minutes! What was I doing before?

@bastard_brian Yess same with our baby. We also know 3 Lucas, 3 Leilas and 3 Milas and it’s not like we know tons of babies. It’s so interesting

Was talking to friends about baby names we like and it turned out that almost every name brought up was a top ~15 baby name of 2023 Is there some sort of baby name hivemind we are all unconsciously tapped into? I've never even met someone with many of these names too

@agent_e17 Also Mexican Gothic, so good!

Republicans should be forced to carry Kevin McCarthy to term, even if it endangers the life of the party.

NEWS: Electric Cars Pass a Crucial Tipping Point in 23 Countries: 5% of new car sales powered only by electricity. This threshold signals the start of mass adoption, when technological preferences rapidly flip. The newcomers — Canada, Australia, Spain, Thailand and Hungary — join a cohort that also includes the US, China and most of Western Europe. The trajectory laid out by these early adopters shows how EVs can surge from 5% to 25% of new cars in just four years - Bloomberg

We’ve spent the last century subsidizing fossil fuels while they destroy our planet — the Inflation Reduction Act finally levels the playing field for clean energy.   Brilliant interview with @LeahStokes on @NewsHour. pbs.org/video/biden-ag…

Today’s harvest at McSlavkin Farms

@NWSWPC The primary contributors to this excessive rain risk is extraordinary moisture being pulled northward with Hilary & strong orographic ascent. Precipitable water (PWAT) not only breaks the late summer record regionally, but the entire year 1950-present record by as much as 3 mm.
