You're living through one of the biggest technological transformations in world history and it has nothing to do with AI

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

Don't make me tap the Robert Pattinson quote, Leto.

“I always say about people who do method acting, you only ever see people do the method when they’re playing an assholes,” Pattinson said in an interiew with Variety in November. “You never see someone being lovely to everyone while they’re really deep in character.”

Trump literally saying America made weapons that Netanyahu asked for that was used to murder so many innocents “used them well” was trumps phrasing

‼️To destroy the hundreds of Russian drones that attack Ukraine almost every night, Ukraine’s air defense uses every possible method. For example, Soviet, propeller-driven aircraft such as the Yak-52 are used - they are cheaper than the drones themselves.
