Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

One evening I shall be able to walk through Blackrock Park at dusk and not take a photo.

A nice reminder from Ember, using British data. Wind and solar are complementary. Our system works best when you have both, each calling on their own strengths in terms of generation patterns.
If either struggles to grow like it should, we end up with a more expensive, slower fossil phase-out

A black-and-white studio portrait of Josephine Baker (1906–1975), the legendary American-born French dancer, singer, actress, and civil rights activist who became one of the most celebrated performers in Europe during the Jazz Age. In this iconic, high-contrast photograph, she is captured in a dynamic, theatrical pose radiating exuberance and glamour: reclining slightly against a dark curved backdrop, she leans back with one arm gracefully raised and bent behind her head, fingers lightly touching her hair, while her body twists toward the camera with joyful abandon. Her face turns to the right of the viewer with a wide, radiant smile revealing bright teeth and sparkling eyes enhanced by dramatic stage makeup. She wears an extravagant, voluminous white feather costume—a massive swirling boa of long soft plumes that cascades dramatically across her shoulders, chest, and arms as if caught mid-dance—paired with a matching oversized feathered headdress and an ornate headpiece of small white flowers or jewels crowning her sleek dark hair. The overall composition is bold and energetic, with strong diagonal lines created by the flowing feathers and her angled pose, the lighting emphasizing the texture of every plume and the smooth tone of her skin against the deep black background. The mood is one of unapologetic joy, sensuality, confidence, and show-stopping charisma, powerfully symbolizing Baker’s groundbreaking rise from humble beginnings to international stardom as a trailblazing Black woman who shattered racial and cultural barriers on stage while using her fame to champion civil rights.
American/French dancer, singer & actress Josephine Baker died #OTD in 1975.
DYK: In Nazi-occupied France, Baker was a French Resistance operative. She used her celebrity status to gather intel on German troop movements & smuggled the information using invisible ink on sheet music.😮
