Energy systems are at the heart of climate change, technology, and the future of how we live, but they’re far more complex than most people realise.

This is a great explainer video by @chrisjardineenergy.bsky.social that helps to make sense of the energy system.

Rewatched the original Star Wars (A New Hope) today.

Obviously 'I love Star Wars' is baked in, but if you've not watched it in a while you can easily forget that the back half of that movie is some of the most genuinely thrilling stuff on film, back to back.

1977 must not have known what hit it.
