This is really good. I appreciate @davidcoletto.bsky.social being so transparent about how he approaches (and thinks about) polling, and I appreciate Wells for asking smart questions, as always.
An important and informative conversation. #cdnpoli

There is such a thing as too much drama. I’d be cool if the writers took a gentler, perhaps comedic, turn for the next century or two…
Is it weird I’m just as intrigued by the sailboat in the background as I am the spaceship?

But isn’t it all hypothetical until it actually happens. It would be like saying you can object to potential environmental harms to stop a project because no damage has actually happened. Get cancer and then come back to the court…
Congrats! I do hope you add “PhD, CEO, and influencer” to LinkedIn and your presentations! 😜
Still trying to work out kinks of my website but sharing my takeaway from my time at CERAWeek. TL;DR - what wasn’t being talked about was renewables are the new energy/national security option in an uncertain geopolitical context.

This report by JP Morgan has some interesting data on this issue. Particularly interesting is the regional grids developing in Africa that would facilitate even greater uptake of a variety of electrification technologies including hydro and geothermal.

Energy security is quickly becoming a core driver for electrification in addition to emissions/energy transition particularly for emerging economies and Africa as they don’t want to be beholden to volatile commodity supply chains.
This our 20th annual #TopRisks report at Eurasia Group. It is a bumper crop in 2026 — the most complex and potentially consequential risk environment in memory.
It informs leaders around the world in every sector. We hope it helps you make sense of things.

In light of other requests of what was your top ten reads this read this year I’ll limit it to a more focused list for those of us that only read around 10 books:
1. What was the most informative read?

3. What was the most surprising read?
System thinking is a thing….

Have a version of this pinned. It’s something that festers for me.

I’m just a tad jealous given I’ve been trying to get my kids cooking for a while and I’ve got my youngest to do scrambled eggs and that’s about it…
Looking for some reading recommendations. Hit me up!
Friend of mine shared a screen shot of a bibliography a student had AI draft a paper that didn’t even get his first name citing his lecture notes.
Looking for some recommendations to add to my 2026 reading list. While I’m predisposed to sci-fi and non-fiction but open to pretty much anything with a good recommendation.
Ah the days of MechWarrior2…
Never before have I seen a policy so effectively operate as a Rorschach test confirming people’s priors as this CAN-AB MOU.
Wasn’t thinking of Musk etc but the high school kid who dreams of being a YouTuber…
This is a thought that’s gonna fester with me for a while!
