@harryh She's gonna win NC.

Prediction: Trump will lose tomorrow and it won't be particularly close. And then he will have done to the GOP (of which I was a registered member until 2017) what he has done to every business partner he has ever had: completely screwed them over. He's always been a bad candidate, and he's a much worse one now than he was 8 years ago. He has never won the popular vote or even cracked 47%. Incumbent parties are losing elections all around the world, but the incumbent will win in America due to a near best in the world policy response & subsequent recovery, and due to a clear majority of Americans being fed up with Trump. The GOP, and America, will be far better off without him. Good riddance.

@aweissman happens often for me too. i like to imagine being in the studio as it comes together. can’t imagine what it must feel like when you finish one of those masterpieces and know what just happened.

everyday i hear some song and think to myself "this might be the greatest song ever recorded" sometimes it's a new song; sometimes an older one i've just come across; and sometimes an old song i've heard many times but it happens every single day

@br_ttany park slope. ps 321. done.

Settle a debate. If you love NYC, but don't want to live there with two little kids, where in the world would you move to? Looking to get culture + walkability + diversity + energy but more habitable for children (parks, schooling, museums, etc).

@Trace_Cohen khruangbin

Is there any correlation between startup name and their success? What's the most successful startup with the worst name?

@PeterOlivier you missed the step about reducing expenses in things like safety which in this case seem problematic. but directionally seems good for society. especially since the employees would likely move to lucrative careers in climate tech.

is that bad because the playbook is evil, or good because it has been proven to destroy industries while making money - which is kinda what we need for the energy transition?

what if we run the private equity playbook on oil and gas companies? acquire them with leverage, throw off tons of profit, saddle them with huge debts, zero out R&D and investment, sell off pieces, lean on their workforces so they seek other jobs, etc

@leoncrawl @ApplePodcasts good luck on the amazing journey that awaits…

@PeterOlivier check out one my my portfolio companies, carbonwave. not quite what you have in mind but supercool way to address the problem.

so you want to be a carbon pirate? join my new carbon removal co: a huge container ship that follows the sargassum blob around the atlantic, and uses pyrolysis or HTC to process the algae into biochar or bio-oil on the boat carbon pirates, we will be slate.com/technology/202…

@schlaf @ouraring i love mine. hope this tweet of yours doesn’t change that.

I finally ditched my @ouraring after giving it a third try. I found it gave me sleep anxiety rather than deep insights. I also found that my body naturally knows how I slept if I’m embodied and present. Am I alone on this?

@BiellaColeman nice to see you too. i’m aware of what you post here so i feel like we are still in touch. i mostly just lurch. sorry about the mold situation.

@evankorth I am doing some stuff, am limited by a very difficult housing search due to mold. Otherwise I would be there 100% instead of the smaller things that I do. Nice to see you Evan as well :)

Honest question: is climate change/the future on your mind everyday? Or something you think about when the AQI gets bad?

@aweissman so was this

this was fantastic last night

@justincharles love that book!

A little May Day reading.

@susanfsu you think this is replicable in the us?

Just a little mundane Tuesday climate inspiration! PS, this is in Canada under updated legislation that mandates both emissions reduction and affordability PPS, yes he's taking investors 👀

Just caught up w a friend who buys rundown multifamily units, retrofits them to reduce emissions by 80% (!), then rents as affordable housing -- all while generating great IRRs There are SO many ways that smart + hardworking ppl can have a climate impact -- and be rewarded

@justincharles i hope you took it.

Trash night

@zencephalon learned that trick from nyu maintenance.

Anyone else keep the trash liner refills in the bottom of the trash can? Very convenient

@AlmostMedia i used to do similar things upstate where it never gets that cold. chilblains are a thing you want to avoid because they come back. though mine might have been caused by more prolonged exposure to cold during long treks.

His feet are now bright red. Don’t give yourselves frost bite just because you think you can survive Snowpiercer

So @alexlmiller is doing a “space walk” where he runs from the house to the barn to check the solar array. It’s 5-6 seconds in -45F and he’s wearing flip flops & shorts

@innonate still tweeting from the other side? had hoped there were better things to do.

holy fuck chatgpt killed me

@piper4missouri i’d support that.

@AlmostMedia our tank stays within a high and low pressure. once it goes below a certain pressure reading it shuts off and the pumps needs to be manually tuned on until it gets back in that range. do you know how to power the pump manually?

And there's no pressure at the tank in there so I think the problem has to exist between the well and the tank? I would imagine the line has to be deep enough below the frost line while outside? It hasn’t been that cold

My homestead friends @alexlmiller and I woke up to an issue with our well. Any ideas? Ok fellow rural friends, need some help Woke up to no water at the house this morning. Specifically 1) 0 pressure on any internal gauges and the pressure tank seems empty

@michelletandler @POTUS "meaning lawmakers would need to vote to extend Medicare and Social Security. Biden on Thursday also cited comments earlier this year from Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who suggested funding for Social Security and Medicare should be approved yearly through the budgeting process."

@michelletandler @POTUS "Much of the focus during this election cycle has been on a proposal from Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), the head of the Senate GOP campaign arm, released in February. The 11-point plan to “Rescue America” included a proposal to sunset government programs every five years, ..."

You’ve been paying into Social Security your whole life. You earned it. Now, Republicans in Congress want to cut it. Who the hell do they think they are?
