I think Michigan will surprise tomorrow against Indiana. 24-21 Big Blue

This Friday two rival high school football teams will face off in Northwestern's brand new stadium. 20k tickets sold, and more open up tomorrow. The stadium holds 35k. For the athletes, cheerleaders, and marching band (including my son!) it's going to be a blast. evanstonnow.com/nearly-20k-t...

Not if Ukraine gets it first.

This is what’s up.

We’re not changing it.

A lot of people showing they don't understand Michigan recently. Let me help you out. We are defined by three loves and one hate. The loves are the Great Lakes, Greek and Middle Eastern food, and Up North (including Canada). The hate (not unique to Michigan) is Ohio. Navigate accordingly.

KASPAROV: Why can't NATO shoot down Russian missiles over Ukrainian territory? When Iran attacked Israel, the Americans, French, British shot down Iranian missiles. Why can one shoot down Iranian missiles flying at Israel but cannot shoot down Russian missiles flying at Ukraine?

Children of Time is so good.

I never thought the Great Lakes region would become such an apocalyptic hazard. These fires are a health and lifestyle threat to millions. It’s time for a large international effort in monitoring, cloud seeding, and solar radiation modification.

This was an overly political, outdated summary of the state of things. Activists and corporations matter much less than they did when this guest was forming his views. Technological and geopolitical trends are shaping the future of energy now.

Congratulations to my amazing wife Kate Hunt for winning Hasbro's Women Innovators of Play design challenge. The world has yet to find something this woman can't do.

Cleantech 3.0 started 2/28/26. The key words of this phase are energy sovereignty, chemical sovereignty, and supply chain reduction. We'll see an incredible wave of investment, innovation, and deployment. The impacts will outlive the disruptions that kicked it off.

Congratulations to my business partner @alexroy144.bsky.social on the first fully automated Cannonball Run! www.thedrive.com/news/a-tesla...

The Big 10 is the future.

What a hero. An absolute badass.

I can imagine a flat-earth blue-water captain centuries ago dreaming of the day he would say the words, "That's it, lads. The end of the world. We can go no further." I'm like that guy. But with pesto.

To borrow a concept from @alexroy144.bsky.social, Ram retconning their EREV truck name to "REV" not only makes way more sense than "Ramcharger", it gives them a decent opportunity to take narrative command of the next big thing in hybrid propulsion in the U.S. www.nivc.us/blog/narrati...

Chicago is a jewel and the L is a marvel. But we need to curb the disorder for everyone’s benefit. Every bar has a bouncer. We need uniformed staff to maintain the terms of service and keep the vibe civic.

Chicago is a jewel.

Quote with your favorite anti-fascist film.

Ukraine destroyed about $7b in Russian aircraft with a drone attack. Not reported is the lead time to replace those aircraft, which is probably more important.

I love telling people I drive a nuclear powered truck. Illinois’ nuclear grid is a treasure.

Today I revisited This is Water, the commencement address by David Foster Wallace. I come back to it every 1-2 years. Empathy, society, and thoughtfulness are always in demand, but I think now especially. Anyone using the term NPC unironically should probably listen twice.

Tonight's thought.

I never used TikTok, I am certainly not going to use LLMs hosted on Chinese servers

The more vertical Uber goes on robotaxis, the more valuable Lyft becomes as a takeover target.

Yes, I do drive a nuclear powered truck. It’s great.

If Level 2 is a pathway to Level 4, Alex will the first to know, and the Cannonball will be proof.

We will dimly remember the Winter of the Drone in the same foggy corner as the Summer of the Shark.

Whoa. Definitely looking into this. The country needs more initiatives that stitch us together.
