Data-driven decarbonization at @electricitymaps.com Almost certainly that guy you know from the internet. There are 20 data centers between my house and the grocery store.

While I’m late to the discourse: The panopticon is everywhere and that’s bad, but speed cameras are the only police that have ever given me a speeding ticket. (I have always been a middle aged suburban white dad driving the expected vehicle, essentially, even as a teenager.)

Probably a good sign (for my health) that I had to look up why y’all have been making “taco” jokes.

Was as checked out as I can get this weekend without actually going to the woods. Walked a gazillion steps at Harpers Ferry, built like 70% of a new DIY planter for the deck, grilled hot dogs irrationally. Surely there will be no consequences.

Stereolab (my favorite band of all time, yes, I am that person) picks up where they left off and makes a record that sounds like it could be from 1999, because their music has always been ahead of its time, and music critics say the same things they said in 1999 and it turns out I am fine with this.

My daughter was born in 2007, and is about to turn 18 and graduate from high school. Here’s how it really went: 1. They look out for each other, defend each other, and support each other in ways my 17-going-on-49 Gen X cutthroat class of ‘94 could never. 🧵

I hope they wear them on their heads, but it’s just a fad.

Just remembering this weekend when I kept seeing journalist friends posting Kentucky Derby stuff with the word “Journalism!” and it took all day to notice that it wasn’t because someone had done some awesome reporting or something.

Going to offset that Arcadia post by saying the Car Seat Headrest album is great, and the last 5 minutes of Planet Desperation might be the jam of the year. (I suppose it's the climax of whatever story this concept album is telling?! I haven't read anything about the album yet.)

I am "I used to livetweet conferences on Twitter but now I am 'I used to livetweet conferences on Twitter years old' years old" (Yes, I am at DC Climate Week. No, I don't have the stamina to liveskeet anything these days. Yes, I'm posting a little on LinkedIn.)
