My daughter likes pepperoni pizza, but does not like pepperoni. Meaning dinner turns into her handing me every single one of her pepperonis to eat, piecemeal.
And thanking me every time.
This may be the best day of my life.

I'm gonna do more coverage of this later, but for now: this is huge.
The clever innovation here is to embed a battery in the stove, which allows for higher power delivery at the point of use but lower power demand overall.
This will end the "gas vs. induction" debate. Period.

We’ve raised a $20M Series A from @Lux_Capital @fifthwallvc @lachygroom @constructcap and many others to accelerate decarbonization in the home.
This is in addition to a $5M seed round last year from @Lux_Capital, @constructcap, and @lachygroom.

Wherein the author berates those working to make a difference citing “human nature” while asserting market forces, and not the state, will overcome… seemingly oblivious to the fact that the state dictates the parameters in which the “market” operates. 🤷♂️

“Vote accordingly.”

Unbelievable. The House Republican leader says the GOP will end military and financial aid to Ukraine if they take back the House, delivering a giant gift to Putin. The Republicans will walk away from the defense of democracy and freedom. Vote accordingly. twitter.com/JoshKraushaar/…

This is spot on. And it makes me mad.

There comes a point in every law student’s or lawyer’s career when they can spot the difference between an unitalicized and italicized period, and that’s a real turning point.

While I remain optimistic for another path forward, the bottom line is that continuing to inappropriately burden NW ratepayers is unacceptable.

This isn’t mentioned enough. You CAN have it all… just not at the same time. And we can’t take care of anyone else if we aren’t taking care of ourselves.

Someone asked me recently: How do you keep up with teaching, scholarship, and family/life responsibilities without staying up until 4AM on weekdays just getting it all done?
The answer is: You don’t. No one does it all. You do the best you can, and trust that that’s enough.

Cards Against Humanity is donating 100% of their profits to the National Network of Abortion Funds if the order comes from a state restricting abortion access.
If someone selects “I didn’t agree to this” an additional $5 donation is added to their cart.

The Inflation Reduction Act is now law.
Giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower prescription drug prices. Ensuring wealthy corporations pay their fair share in taxes.

Our terrible immigration system nearly deported Katalin Karikó, which would have robbed the world of her breakthrough mRNA research.
We need to make it much easier for the next generation of talented people to immigrate to the US and live without the fear of being deported.
