I enjoyed One Cut of the Dead.

Best to go in knowing absolutely nothing about it. I promise it will all make sense at the end.

In Trump's second term, he has approved just 23 percent of blue-state requests for disaster aid, compared to 89 percent for red states.

There has never been such a sharp partisan disparity in the approval of federal disaster funds since FEMA was created in 1979.

I'm trying to get my mom to swap her ICE car for an EV. She only drives a couple times per week, but is concerned about the learning curve, especially charging at home.

Is there a model that has a particularly seamless transition experience?

Trump’s EPA is setting the value of human health to $0 The agency’s new math to favor polluters, explained.

The EPA is taking a major step toward changing its math to favor polluters over people.

@umairfan.bsky.social spoke w/ several experts, including former EPA officials, and indeed, the change will likely lead to worsening air quality and harm public health.

Oh good the screaming monster in the woods next to my house is back.

The long, fun list of things we could do with unlimited clean energy Imagine we had cheap and abundant energy. Some radical ideas are actually within our reach.

A future built on overflowing clean energy isn’t utopian, it’s actually within our reach. And if we make it a priority to unlock cheap and abundant energy, that raises the interesting — and fun — question: What we should do with it?

A new study shows the most destructive fires are happening more often, fueled by climate change, urban sprawl, and decades of fire suppression.

Appreciate @umairfan.bsky.social reaching out to ask about our personal experience with flooding as part of the greater discussion of a complex economic and societal issue.

Last year I co-wrote a piece with @umairfan.bsky.social about the way cultures that valorize endurance make it much harder for people to take the threat of extreme heat as seriously as they do extreme cold. It's past time to change that. www.vox.com/climate/3597...

I am thoroughly convinced some of the local legends and leaders on bike routes are on ebikes.

There's a certain species of quirked up white boi in DC that wears all the cultural signifiers of one political faction while espousing the politics of another.

Why we’re barely keeping track of this growing climate problem Fossil fuel sites can emit a powerful greenhouse gas long after they shut down.

We're uncovering major methane emitters hiding in plain sight - including small oil and gas wells that produce little fuel but account for nearly half of U.S. production-related emissions.
