You whot?
The fact that school kids have gotten so much nicer than when I was in school.
Crime dropping worldwide but particularly in my city.
And honestly? Plunging birth rates, even though I have a lot of kids and stepkids and love it. I do feel like it’s freedom mostly, people are more free to not have kids and it will keep the population from exploding.
I’ve noticed people are taking more care to proofread what they share online. This makes communication much more smooth and efficient.
Just kidding.
That prices for photovoltaic are dropping rapidly:
next, EV please.
In Denver, a person with a house gets subsidized rates for electricity. By parking their EV in their garage and charging overnight, they can pay 4.2¢ per kWh.
Meanwhile, a person like me who lives in an apartment and must charge his car during the day at public chargers like EVGo or Electrify America, pays 59¢ per kWh.
This means that assuming a typical 70 kWh charge (from almost empty to almost full) costs:
- For the house-owner: $2.94
- For the apartment dweller: $41.30
That’s almost a 15x difference! (Yay for EV economics).
We don’t have an economy. We have two economies. We have a severely bimodal economy.

Why not use the outlet at your parking space? That’s in the building code now.
And most european countries are more than 50% renewable powered

There we go.
The sheer number of union strikes and Union formations that have taken place in the last 2 years.
You should be in a union if you work for any publicly traded company.
If there isn’t one, you should be forming one.
A company that is publicly traded, IE it has stocks on the stock market, has every incentive to underpay every single employee they have and is only vulnerable to collective action.
My spouse and the many others sticking with their careers after being oncology ICU nurses during the worst of the pandemic. They know it’s a thankless job and they’re treated like shit, the healthcare system is a disaster, families and patients scream at them and attack them, the job certainly isn’t about money, it puts your physical and mental health at risk, but they’ll do it anyway for that one person who gets to ring the bell and say their cancer is no longer detectable.
My oncle sailed into early COVID season with late non-hodgekins and not long to go. He thought of his pregnant daughter and her child, and the risks of attending treatment, now daily, and took a voluntary.
Our med system made this horrific decision slightly less so by handling everything but the go button; and while we miss everything about him to this day, we’re grateful.
It’s important work, even when we don’t win.
The Dodo videos. Here’s one of a dude adopting a fawn.
