1/ "This is the pivot point in the energy transition folks. Fossil chaos drives people to electrotech, as this is the first oil shock with a superior alternative. " says @ember-energy.org @kingsmillbond.bsky.social
We argued similarly last week at Wesleyan (slides here)

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
Great interactions at our Superbooth at @aai.org 😊#AAI2026 with @cedar-epitopes.bsky.social @hipcproject.bsky.social @airr-knowledge.bsky.social
As it's the weekend, let's take a moment to enjoy and celebrate what for the entire country is an unalloyed good-news story!
In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙
It’s very sad to see the remnants at the Calais terminal of how the Eurotunnel was intended to operate. Just turn up, buy a ticket, and go. Now at weekends it’s a three hour chicane through the car park followed by inane questions from Border Force before you even arrive at the shuttle queue.
It’s official: the UK is rejoining Erasmus! 👏🇪🇺
The symbolism of the fig tree is directly relevant to your point about institutions, and yes his message was and is divisive. As is clear even in this thread.
The teaching of Christ as set out in the new testament is a good guarantee of those things, but human beings are fallible and all of us fail to live up to those standards, even those who genuinely try. The whole point of his mission was to offer us a way to redepmtion, despite that.
I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵
There will be a party like this in the U.S. one day
An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death
Initial results from the Big Survey of >5000 pwME are deeply disturbing… disbelief by NHS healthcare professionals, made to feel their ME was their fault, traumatic encounters with clinicians.
This can not continue.
More on 11 May👇🏽.
Thanks @kacheston.bsky.social and @actionforme.bsky.social.
12.7 million battery electric vehicles were sold globally in 2025.
In 2010, the number was barely 10,000.
In China, 1 in 2 new cars sold last year was electric.
The transition is happening faster than almost anyone predicted.
Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
Trump just openly stating his intention to commit genocide at this point: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."
And let’s be clear: even if this doesn’t matter for Americans it matters a great deal to former American allies as it telegraphs very clearly that Congress is not an institutional player capable of keeping foreign policy trajectory stable across presidential administrations.
Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.
Trillions of dollars have been spent to create an artificial workforce composed of the kind of employees who if they were human would probably be fired within a year or two of being hired.
Imagine if that money had been spent getting humanity off fossil fuels instead.
"Archbishop Timothy Broglio went on CBS’s Face the Nation to state unequivocally that Trump’s war on Iran is wrong and that American Catholic soldiers, sailors and air crew have the duty to refuse immoral orders."

If only there had been a way of knowing that Trump was completely unsuited to high office.
This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
Ironic and tragic that America, the self proclaimed champion of global order, rights, values, liberty, justice, rule of law, non-aggression, free trade, science, progress, is now destroying everything it once stood for and what made it great, under a corrupt, deranged leader, backed by zealots.
As an antitrust lawyer, I get the sentiment.
But it’s not down to a lack of laws. Trust me, we have all the tools we need to dismantle the monopolies and oligopolies.
What’s long been lacking is the political and regulatory will.
not sure this is a mid-terms winning slogan
“the food security case for intensive poultry is “illusory” because the sector “depends on imports for feed and vitamins, while making us more vulnerable to disease outbreaks like avian flu”
This is why the old NATO is gone and Europeans (plus Canada), need to develop a new security framework to replace it. It's frightening, difficult, and expensive, but that doesn't make it less necessary or urgent.
