Zane SelvansIt would be entertaining if China started sending container ships full of solar panels, batteries, and EVs.

I like bicycles and clean energy a lot. I’ve fermented things for decades, sometimes on purpose and sometimes for profit.

Joe Wynne 🌻🚗⛰️SUCCESSFUL GLASS RECYCLER ALSO BUILDS WETLANDS
🍾 Franziska Trautmann started a recycling facility in a backyard 5 years ago. Now she's Louisiana's biggest glass recycler.
✋ She has fought against the many obstacles that keep glass recycling in the U.S. to only around 30%.
🦉 The facility operates 3 days a week. Her team uses the other days, with some of their glass, to build coastal wetland islands. And wildlife is returning: Birds, gators, crabs, otters.

McNadoMDOh come the fuck on, US media! LAST WEEK Trump was threatening to unleash the military on Minneapolis. Don’t fucking carry water for his reputation laundering scheme. He isn’t trying go reset jack shit. He just got told by Republicans that they were gonna get slaughtered at the polls and he was going to go to jail forever unless he stopped the worst of the heinous ICE shenanigans. He’s been pushing this violence since day one of his 2016 win. It isn’t some rogue operation. He owns it.
We are all Minnesotan now.
Karen Dalton-Beninato ☑️Irma Thomas Anthem! Well done, Sugar Bowl.
Windy citySometime around the 2020 era, we lost the right to be mediocre at things we love.
No longer can you just bake bread...you must start a sourdough side hustle lol. Wanna stay fit and go jogging or running? Nah, you gotta optimize your biometrics for a marathon. What my point is that every hobby has been enshittified and gentrified into a brand opportunity.
This strange infatuation with optimization culture is killing the human spirit.
So this new year, starting tomorrow, one of my resolutions is to do something bad but fun. Maybe I write a terrible poem. I like to draw and paint, so perhaps I will draw a horse that looks like a table or sing off-key in the showers or in front of my loved ones. The algorithm driving the mainstream social media wants me to be a polished product, but my humanity lives in these messy, unoptimized, cringe-inducing joyful failures.
I will try to reclaim the right to be an amateur. Will you join me?

Maybe now we be a good time to eliminate the electoral college
Dean BarnettI'm currently in New Orleans, my favorite American city. NOLA FunkFest starts tomorrow, the beginning of a three day celebration of another musical invention from this city: funk. If you aren't familiar with the Funky Meters, well, yes you are, you just don't know it yet. Check out "Hey, Pocky Way" sometime.
Eve VentuallyToday, I found out that 7 months ago, Rick Astley (yes, that Rick Astley) did a cover of Pink Pony Club.
I am very disappointed no one told me about it until today.
Anyway. It's quite good.
And notice how I'm telling you about it on the same day I found out about its existence. Look at me, being a good example.
