Power Shift is out!
This keywords project brings together many long-admired energy humanities thinkers in 1 book of v. assignable essays. In my entry I don't talk much about screen time & instead muse about infrastructure, data sovereignty, and (eventually, a little bit,) bikes.

Great piece from @veronicagago.bsky.social and @williamcallison.bsky.social situating Milei in the global context and exploring the logic of self-sacrifice in which "wages of cruelty" make up for material sacrifices and suffering

Why are minerals so central to geopolitics? How green are electric cars? Why is anti-mining protest increasing? Can the inequalities of the global economy be transformed?
I tackle these topics in my book EXTRACTION: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism

It seems appropriate that my second post is memorializing the Red Dragon
Red Dragon and its Wondrous Punch is responsible for one of the most devastatingly drunk nights I've ever experienced. Truly a miserable experience.
RIP Red Dragon, you will be missed.
