@graydon @isaackuo I see us getting into a feedback cycle.
Oil/gas war in the Gulf -> skyrocketing oil/gas prices.
High fossil prices -> PV/battery more profitable
Profitable renewables -> less demand for fossils
Sinking demand -> increases incentive for war in the Gulf to keep prices high (before fossil energy fields become stranded assets)
So we're getting into end-of-oil scarcity wars, with the added twist that there's no overall energy shortage, it's just a capitalism extinction burst.
Luigi. 🇵🇸 🇮🇷 🇻🇪 🏴what do you mean #elonmusk did a #nazi salute on live tv at the #unitedstates presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?
would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
Assoc for Scottish Literaturea cop in a panda
wound down his window & asked us
what we had in our bags
to which we shouted POETRY!
in unison,
lifted
thick majestic photocopies
and POEMS OF THIRTY YEARS
by Edwin Morgan into the air
as he looked on in horror
and told us to be on our way
and not to do it again…

Sam LitzingerOne of my most delightful interviews from my CBS News Radio days was with the amazing B.B. King, who brought his guitar Lucille into the studio.
So I sat about four feet away from one of the best musicians in history while he played the blues and talked.
It doesn’t get any better than that.
Sean CastenI've said it before, but Spencer Glendon is consistently the most thoughtful and articulate communicator of climate financial risk. If you're interested in climate science, financial markets or human behavior, he's a must read. https://probablefutures.org/perspective/equinox-greetings-greedy-for-the-new/
Randahl FinkOn March 1 Trump said the Iran war would be over in 4 weeks. He has 8 days left to deliver on that promise.
It sounds unrealistic now, but wait until you see Captain Bone Spurs rappelling down from that Black Hawk helicopter over Tehran to lead the charge, with a golf 9-iron in one hand and a diet coke in the other, shouting “I love the smell of spray tan in the morning!”
