This is what happens when you replace miners with microbes. Liz Dennett and her team at Endolith extract copper using biology, not bulldozers. More copper, less environmental impact. @mikevsclimate.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/C0dU6... #BioMining #Endolith #SustainableTech

Dropping tomorrow at 1PM ET on youtube.com/valormedianetwork Hardpoints dives into the DoD Energy Clearinghouse with Dave Belote: F-16 pilot, Bronze Star recipient, and Jeopardy champ. Fighter jets, energy policy, national security — don’t miss this full-throttle episode. @mikevsclimate.bsky.social

The #blueorigin flight has people talking about women in space. My favorite: Genuine badass Dr Kathryn Sullivan As real as they get.

I have a new show I’m hosting with my friend Neal. In our first episode, we talk about how the rules and the consequences only seem to apply to a few.

Got something new to talk about folks. And something new to listen to! Get Hardpoints wherever you get your podcasts!

This is fascinating to me. Forest preservation using finance but not carbon. 🎁 Gift Link: Brazil Pins Hope for Forests on an Unlikely Savior: Wall Street www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

if we had an effective dem party, starting 8:30-9 this am, every dem on capitol hill would be on this story. they'd be calling for hegseth and waltz and the rest to resign, theyd be calling on trump to come clean with the people about what else they leaked. they'd be pushing for investigations etc

This will tell you how much Kyle Gibson was loved by his teammates in Baltimore. Grayson Rodriguez, Kyle Bradish and Tyler Wells share the news of the reunion between the #Orioles and Gibby via their Instagram stories. #Birdland #baltimorebattery #LetsGoOs #DongCity

Congrats to the 2024 baltimore orioles for hitting into the fewest double plays in history. slate.com/culture/2025...

Aaaarrrggghhhhhh!!

The way Charles Ponzi dramatically reimagined finance. Or Jeffrey Dahmer reimagined dining.

This is the guy that every single Republican in the Senate is going to act like is unacceptable ad Deputy FBI Director and then vote for after pussing out again. Dan Bongino is a fascist monster.

Everything I read can’t be upsetting, so I really need the Orioles to be good this year.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

I think Harriet owned them.

There is no such thing as “leaking” information about Zuckerberg. He does not believe in control or consent over information being shared by others. He does not believe in the idea of social norms for interpersonal interactions based on respect or trust. There can’t be any transgression or betrayal.

Incredibly frustrating that even @pbsnews.bsky.social & @nytimes.com have fallen for the DEI / FAA canard. The jerk is taking bribes in public and firing FAA safety staff, but yeah, let’s talk about how there might be someone who is slightly different than me that might have, maybe been involved.

Leaders take accountability for problems and fix them. Racist narcissists blame them on imaginary brown people.

The January 6 pardons are turning out great.

Oh look… here’s the reason Hegseth was pushed through… unblinking loyalty to Trump instead of the troops. www.foxnews.com/politics/whi...

This piece captures it: post-2015 America has basically seen the unqualified triumph of everything I find repulsive. I don't just mean policy or politics, either -- aesthetics, media, habits of thought & speech, hobbies & professions ... I just feel profoundly alienated from all of it.

“Rule of Law” you said?

Not “funny” like “strange” or like “haha”, but funny like “fuck you for thinking we ever had any principles.”

Ever love someone with cancer? The research that them a chance is being cut to fund tax cuts for billionaires. What’s your priority?

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like. static.politico.com/b3/3e/5baf92...
