"Rooftop solar is spreading fast in Jamaica, and people with panels got their power back almost immediately. The ‘entire neighborhood benefits,’ one resident said."
Jamaicans Have Been Turning to Solar Power. It Paid Off After the Storm.

Chicago cyclists bought out all street vendors so they could go home and be safe from ICE. The cyclists then distributed the food among those in need throughout the city.

It's getting to the point where wearing a mask in public people assume I'm sick and shouldn't be there. When folks are confused by why I still mask I'm finding "never had Covid and willing to do easy things to keep it that way" the most effective response lately. Some even seem to suggest they might

Leaf blowers and fireworks should be banned.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Isn't it fascinating how journalists do seem to be capable of avoiding passive voice when a cyclist collides with a pedestrian but not when it's a cyclist getting hit by a car.

What if the primary point of the 51st state rhetoric is to scare Canadians into not pointing out the increasing differences between Canada and the US as we continue to be a democracy while the US descends deeply into a fascist dictatorship.

Hey climatesky, some colleagues asked for recommended resources on *transformational* #adaptation and while I get the concept I'm not at all familiar with the literature - any suggestions from good foundational papers to practical case studies?

Reflection isn’t enough. Take action tomorrow and every day on our collective journey towards Truth and Reconciliation.

Been watching all Star Trek in chronological order & during SNW learned season 3 was coming out - neat coincidence so I shifted to weekly & that has been awesome. But now what? Go back to binge mode & watch SNW s4 & 5 out of order or put the whole project on hold until they come out?!

Almost 17 years to the day after replacing and oil furnace with a heat pump, this beauty has just replaced a natural gas furnace. They've gotten a lot smaller!
Been over a decade since moving from the house with the first one so have to remember set points and difference between day and night etc

A cool natural experiment using cellphone data finds that, when people relocate to more walkable areas, they walk more and are more active. Why does this matter? Because many related studies were affected by self-selection bias, where people who like to walk might choose to live in walkable places

Hey Snoop Dog, my grandson has two aunties and I can assure you there's nothing to be afraid of if your grandson has questions about a home with two moms. Kids have no problem understanding love, just leave whatever baggage & assumptions you have out of it and it won't be weird or hard or anything.

Inventor of leaf blower: what if we replaced rakes with something noisier, more expensive, actually takes longer, uses gas, requires maintenance, and is hard on worker's backs? Lose-lose times seven!?!?! Genius!

Yes, it did start raining just as I began hanging laundry on the line. No, I did not stop. Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

Public service announcement: After several months of avoiding all fat I want to announce that sautéed greens taste a million times better with a little margarine on. Really #grateful for the medical field in general and the health care system in Canada that granted me access to gallbladder surgery.

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford bike-lanes in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure… bicycling.’” — @mortenkabell.bsky.social

When Colbert invited Kamala Harris to say "I told you so" her response was incredible. Instead of taking him up on that she points out that what she didn't foresee was the level of capitulation. Classy and critical at the same time - that's an impressive combo.

Bluesky is the best - I just love that I posted was a silly anecdote about forgetting how to do basic tasks in brain fog, and I get some extremely useful information in the replies. Very happy to unlearn bad assumptions I ingrained from Big Shampoo
Ok so imagine you're showering at night but quite tired and after getting your hair wet you put conditioner in. You haven't shampooed in 24 hrs and haven't conditioned for a couple days. Do you (a) just wash conditioner out (b) shampoo, or (c) shampoo then conditioner again. #askingforafriend

I hate what I understand the effects are on a lot of guys. Peterson & Rogan in particular appeal to a few friends who are otherwise able to see through fallacies & nonsense. Not sure I have listened enough to say I hate the manosphere - I hit some obvious manipulation & can't bear to keep listening.

At this point, there is no guarantee what we'll do (if anything), but we want to keep our options open by collecting names. If you have any further questions, feel free to email me.
We are primarily looking for Ph.D. scientists at universities or government labs in appropriate fields. I realize that this will exclude some qualified people and I apologize, but we felt this was necessary for a variety of reasons.
