Annual births in the US peaked in 2007 and have been dropping since. After 2025, most forecasts are that we'll see high school graduating classes start shrinking. America needs immigrants. One day, perhaps, we'll wake up to that fact.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Canada's exports to the US. Safe to expect the price at the pumps to rise with sky-high tariffs:

A propos some news today: 60% of US oil imports are from Canada. "Many U.S. refineries are designed to handle heavy oils like those produced in Canada’s oil sands" www.eia.gov/todayinenerg... h/t @jordantcarlson.bsky.social

We're all joking & dunking on this ridiculous tariff idea but if implemented it will make food, energy, housing, & cars more expensive for American households and it will no kidding be really bad, especially for low-income families who could just use some breathing room to get ahead instead of this.

Post-election, we will stand up for climate action. First, we are going to stand up for science. We will also stand up for dreams of a better future – and keep them alive. Finally, we will stand up for climate heroes – to celebrate & support their incredible work. drawdown.org/insights/sta...

We need to deploy 2-5 GW and $25B by 2030 to achieve #liftoff in enhanced #geothermal. This will bring the price down far enough to unlock 90 GW by 2040. liftoff.energy.gov/next-generat...

There is no “game over” in the fight against climate change. Today, it remains our collective task to continue to bend the arc of global emissions towards net zero. The next battle begins today. heatmap.news/ideas/trump-...

35 years ago this week (this past Saturday) the Berlin Wall came down. Over the months and years that followed, tens of millions of people in Eastern Europe gained or regained freedoms. Today we're seeing a march of authoritarianism around the world. I, for one, do not think it will last. (1/2)

Climate change terminology does not influence willingness to take climate action Our new paper (N=6,132, across 63 countries) suggests that focusing on subtle terminology in climate messaging is not an effective use of resources. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @kimdoell.bsky.social

Today at COP29, the US announced a roadmap to deploy 15 GW of nuclear by 2035, & 15 GW per year after that by 2040, for a total of 200GW by 2050. I kicked this off and led it from OSTP while there and I’m very glad to see the final product from whole team. Let’s go www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Unlike when BlueSky initially launched, there are now tools to migrate X data to make using Bsky basically immediately like twitter was before the algo became very political. These are quite amazing for preserving the 'value' of time put into X for many of us over years.

Hello, Bluesky. One thing this site lacks is bookmarking. I do enjoy the ability to bookmark interesting thoughts from people in a cross-platform, cross-device way. I'd love it to be cross-app too.
