House republicans just passed an almost full repeal of the IRA last night.🚨
The fight isn’t over yet, these Senate republicans ⤵️ agree that repeal of IRA is going to hurt American jobs, manufacturing and energy independence. Send them an email telling to hold their position.

Hey @billgates.bsky.social: Thought you might want to read our new study:
"22 of Earth's 34 'vital signs' are flashing red, new climate report reveals — but there's still time to act" | Nice article on our new #Bioscience article by @saschapare.bsky.social for @livescience.com: www.livescience.com/planet-earth...
22 of Earth's 34 'vital signs' are flashing red, new climate report reveals — but there's still time to act
Earth's systems are nearing tipping points that could plunge the planet into a "hothouse" regime — but there's still time to prevent that from happening, scientists say.

curious what is everyone’s take on ethical use of AI for mild editing for format, structure & grammar, finding references etc. vs Generative AI.
I find the former to be acceptable, and consider that to be a low emission activity?

The Senate version of GOP's budget bill dropped in the middle of the night. Astonishingly, it got EVEN WORSE. It raises energy costs, kills $100s of billions of investment in manufacturing, makes grids less reliable, increases pollution & constrains our ability to compete w/China on AI. Loser stuff.
