Overheard at work:
Student 1: Of course Socrates isn’t real, do you think anyone would talk to Plato?
Student 2: Low-key, I feel that way about Saint Augustine. He HAD to be close with God because he was like, a weird homeschool kid.

And if we'd re-elected Biden, or elected Harris, these price drops might well be transforming electrical power in the US.
Slowly. With Republicans screeching about whatever their donors can come up with as a smoke cloud to keep fossil fuel companies profitable.

This is incredible (good news too): “After a 40% fall in 2024 in battery equipment costs, it’s clear we’re on track for another major fall in 2025…The economics for batteries are unrecognizable, & the industry is only just getting to grips with this new paradigm”

Batteries now cheap enough to make dispatchable solar economically feasible
Energy think tank Ember says utility-scale battery costs have fallen to $65/MWh outside China and the United States, enabling solar power to be delivered when needed.

Today I had to text two students to make sure they hadn't been murdered at Brown earlier today. Waiting for responses to these kind of messages doesn't easier with time. I am disabled and would like to not be triggered by mass murder because I have dealt with a lot of gun violence.
Of course people with disabilities deserve access. I guess my point is that Americans are so inured to mass murder that they seem ready to shrug as they address other social concerns.

ICE snatched a human rights hero.
Guan Heng risked his life to capture video of Uyghur concentration camps. After escaping to the U.S., Guan was in hiding for years, not knowing his work had been crucial to substantiating China's mass detention practices.
On Monday, he has an asylum hearing in NY.

Our ex-BuzzFeed team has provided a testimonial to the immigration court about the value of Guan's work and his incredible bravery. I hope that this man - who I am in absolute awe of - is granted the asylum he needs and deserves. You can read more here: hrichina.substack.com/p/man-who-fi...

I want nothing but good things for the subtitle translators in 2026.
I love that so many take the time to include the context of the double entendres, particularly when it's something related to homonyms. I have learned a lot of excellent curse words thanks to y'all.

This weekend is the 13th anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting.
Is CBS dedicating any time to that?
Of course not. They’re promoting Erika Kirk’s town hall.
They’re platforming a woman who’s husband said that some children being shot to death was an “acceptable price” for the second amendment

What's the biggest story in the country today? It's not Erika Kirk's town hall but the CBS website already has at least 14 stories on it and an entire special section on the home page. www.cbsnews.com

I am a veteran teacher - 19 years teaching high school. KOSA will NOT protect children online. Instead, it will allow the government to censor free expression of oppressed people online. It will be impossible to anonymously seek out resources when in crisis – mental health or domestic violence.
