Non-hydro renewables (primarily wind and solar) are on track to pass gas this year as the second largest source of electricity generation globally. The rapid over the past 10 years is pretty remarkable! Hat tip to Michael Liebreich for the plot idea.

So glad we bailed out Elon's buddy for $40 billion dollars instead of giving people healthcare or making sure we can eat lettuce without our asses erupting for weeks on end.

People of Clacton! Show your support for me by putting a bin outside your house, one day this week, of a colour of Tendring Council's choice. This will be unequivocal proof of the success of my campaign.

97 never looked so fearless. Betty Bromage started wing walking at 87. A year after suffering a stroke, she broke her own Guinness World Record as the world’s oldest female wing walker while raising money for the stroke unit that cared for her. And apparently, she’s still not done. #SheShed

Tax wealth and distribute universal basic income as a dividend share of productivity growth. That's the new and rising floor to protect everyone from the worst and make sure everyone benefits.

$200 billion a year would enable a universal basic income of about $500/mo. That would essentially abolish severe poverty in America. Poverty would drop by about a third, and because the downstream costs of poverty are about $3 TRILLION a year, that would be a return on investment of $800B a year.
