- America has an abundance of such people.
- For those Americans who follow me… if you don’t know @peterstefanovic.bsky.social then take my advice and give him a follow. He’s smart, has a conscience, knows right from wrong, good from bad, can spot the good guys from the bad guys… and has a heart as big as a house. You can thank me later. 😉

- It’s *that* time of the year to repeat the message that once caused my face to be the centre of a window display of fans in the Chichester branch of Rymans.

- OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

- IMPORTANT: The Dutch invested €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

- Highly recommend this FT story on China's headlong electrification. The more our dipshit president makes us an unreliable trading partner, the more they want to escape oil & gas imports. Seems like a pretty good idea!
- China has been investing heavily in clean tech to drive down costs, pushing EVs, building electrified rail networks, & expanding & strengthening its grid. The US has been sitting around with its thumb up its ass, coasting on cheap methane gas. Wonder which will work out better in coming decades.
