France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?

The Revue Cinema announced its complete lineup for BLEAK WEEK, June 1-7.
A screenshot of a Facebook post by CBS 2 Boise. The post text reads: "A new state law required the City of Boise to take down the Pride flag outside City Hall. Tuesday morning, the City wrapped flag poles in Pride colors and added a new sign to the window on City Hall. CBS2 reached out to the Mayor and Governor’s office for comment." Below the text is a collage of three photos showing these updates: Left: A tall metallic flagpole in a plaza at night, with its lower section wrapped in horizontal stripes matching the colors of the Progress Pride flag (black, brown, light blue, pink, white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple). Top Right: A closer view of a flagpole base, also wrapped in horizontal Progress Pride flag colors. Bottom Right: A large window on City Hall featuring a graphic with diagonal stripes in the Progress Pride colors alongside the text, "Creating a city for everyone."
Oh, this is good. Idaho passed a bill banning local cities from flying the Pride flag. So the cities decided to wrap the poles themselves in pride colors.
This is amazing.
Got an email from a reader this morning that gave me a huge boost when I really needed one. Don’t feel shy about letting someone know you loved their book!
His facial expressions take you on a whole hopeless journey in that final scene oh boy.
for me, personally, most of the evils of the Internet and social media are now remedied and washed clean by this post
I didn't know about this, thanks!
All time bathtub banger
Sideways, more directly behind me.
it did seem a surprising candidate for the Dbox experience.
I’m here right now. I thought it was the sound design in Undertone. Hope everyone is okay.
If you’re going to see Undertone, I recommend seeing it alone in the theatre, with only one other person in the audience, sitting a few rows behind you, who randomly moves seats about 2/3rds though the show.
Forever Susan Lucci needs to become a cocktail or a perfume brand.
This was a super fun read!
Stunning martial arts madness starring a pan-Asian cast of fighter-actors beating the living daylights out of each other in various combinations, sometimes with hammers, giant blocks of ice with dead bodies in them. etc. Best not to dwell on the dialogue, though you're not here to watch them TALK.
The most hyped-up TIFF industry screening I've ever experienced. It's a wild and brutal ride!

A message from Apple Music reading: ‘If you or someone you know needs help, support is available.’
Making a playlist to capture the mood of my current WIP and this message just popped up.
So, um, onward?
Wow, they really went for it on those wing flaps.

While everyone is distracted by the menacing shitshow in the US, #DougFord, the well & expensively coached conman that he is, is getting away ridiculous abuses of power, massive amounts of waste & grift of taxpayer dollars, & this appalling move to prevent public accountability. #Onpoli #cdnpoli
The Potemkine dvd store in Paris, parked bikes on the left, and illuminated K on the right of the black sign.
This DVD store in Paris was a wonderful and dangerous random discovery.

Thanks again Katie!

When your family portrait looks like a poster for a Wes Anderson horror movie.
Thank you!
