wait this graph is crazy BART installed anti-fare-hopping gates and the amount of station maintenance and cleanup they had to do went to basically zero strong evidence that the poor condition of public transit is fairly easy to fix + caused by a very small group of people

This is a really fascinating graphic, and a great way to show the emerging path through middle income to prosperity opening up now thanks to cheap renewables and batteries + electrification.

Another new record for batteries in California 🔋⚡️ Batteries met a record high 37.2% of load at 6:25pm yesterday, Oct 12. The share of load remained at >30% for two whole hours from 5:50 to 7:50 during peak demand and discharged late into the night, reducing gas and imports.

Keep revisiting this absolute gem from Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer. In the same conversation as ambient jazz masterpieces from Nala Sinephro. Repeating motifs, absolutely stunning melodies, & guest appearances from Jeff Parker & Josh Johnson. @intlanthem does it again.

Had the privilege of speaking with friend and sustainability comms expert Mike Hower for his latest pod. We cover a lot of ground, including how CSOs help drive sustainability storytelling & what our approach looks like at @Workday (and why). Great conversation! 🎙️

Proud father moment: my 7 yr old watched Star Wars for the first time. ❤️ 🌌 Watched Episode IV first, the way God intended. 💫

Yes, jorts. They are *everywhere*. youtube.com/watch?v=rmv6Dt…

Unfortunate certainties when summer vacationing in Europe: 1) the ever-present scent of cigarettes 2) men in jorts

This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Not good.

@dsaezgil @Workday Thank you my friend, we're pretty excited about this one, particularly for the social impact through RAIN-UP. Hopeful this inspires a new paradigm for clean energy procurement!

@erikhansen_ @Workday Wow amazing! Great job Erik

Super excited for @Workday new utility-scale solar project to bring 233GWh/yr to the grid. 🌞 But it's not just clean power: it supports RAIN-UP, which helps underserved farmers & landowners participate in the clean energy economy, creating opportunities & generational wealth.

This is the first PPA to support RAIN-UP, which uses the funding to provide resources, support, & opportunities for workforce development, & introduces socially disadvantaged farmers & landowners to the benefits of renewable energy. Check it here: ⤵️ leveltenenergy.com/case-study/wor…

I spoke to @geekwire about it: geekwire.com/2025/coffee-cl…

Luna coffee sub on point this month! ☕️📦 - Great coffee? ✔️ - Beautiful packaging? ✔️ - Zine that weaves sustainable agriculture & climate impacts into coffee producer storytelling? ✔️

Great work from Randy Spock and @Google on eliminating super-pollutants as part of their climate strategy.

@bromf3 I don’t play piano, no formal music training, and after listening to 7 Piano Sketches I thought “oh no Andre”

I really like 7 Piano Sketches from a diaristic-emo-ambient perspective (I think of it the same way as I think of, like, a claire rousay Bandcamp exclusive) but I also play piano and totally get why serious pianists would be pissed
