UPDATE: NOW IT IS FULL OF PEOPLE ALL WEARING YELLOW SHIRTS?

The previously empty section of seats now magically filled with people all wearing yellow shirts.

We lost a true Gooner yesterday 💔. My family said goodbye to our 15-yo black lab Lily. She was a great athlete who could leap 7-ft hay bales in a single bound and she always put up with our game-day antics. Shown here rocking her @mainegooners.bsky.social scarf. We buried her with it ❤️🤍

Heat pumps have been so popular in Massachusetts over the past few years that the utilities had to ask regulators for more money multiple times(!), largely because they hadn’t anticipated that so many folks would want to switch from gas to heat pumps. It’s been WILD! 🤯10/15

A bar graph titled "Customer Demand - Adoption trends in MA" showing customer demand for heat pumps in Massachusetts with data from the Mass Save program. The graph shows planned and actual heat pumps installed through the program from 2019 through 2024. Actual installations exceed planned installations every year, and actual installations increase significantly in 2023 and 2024. A note on the graph reads: "2024 actuals reflect year-to-date production through the third quarter of 2024" and another note reads "Adoption trends suggest incentives are having desired demand generation impact."

At least two electric utilities in MA will soon be offering discounted heat pump rates (exciting!) and, as their presentation pointed out, these discounts could bring the costs of running a heat pump in line with gas and oil. 😮 5/15

A bar graph titled "Potential Change in Heating Costs After Electrification" which shows annual home heating costs for gas, oil, propane, heat pumps, and heat pumps with a heat pump rate. The first bar (left to right) in light blue shows the annual heating cost with 2023/2024 gas rates is $2,175. The second bar in dark blue shows the annual heating cost with 2024/2025 gas rates is $3,090. The third bar in yellow shows the cost with oil is $3,263. The fourth bar in orange shows the cost with propane is $4,539. The fifth bar in dark green shows the cost with a heat pump and regular electric rate is $3,728. The sixth and final bar in light green shows the cost with a heat pump and a heat pump rate is $3,115. Notes below the graph read: "At winter 24/25 gas rates, adopting a full displacement heat pump results in an increase compared to gas and fuel oil costs, and savings compared to propane. A heat pump rate that discounted electricity by five cents would equalize oil/gas with heat pumps.

Listening to the discussion about ESR on @arsenalvpodcast.bsky.social with @clivepafc.bsky.social and @yankeegunner.bsky.social today got me thinking: is there a player that Arsenal moved on in the last 5-10 years that you regret losing? I'm struggling to come up with one.

You okay Weather Channel app? I know it's unseasonably warm here in MA, but this is next level.

Interesting dynamic happening in MA right now, #EnergySky and #GreenSky: even though switching from gas to heat pumps doesn't actually save $ here, heat pumps are getting SUPER popular. It's breaking the cost-effectiveness (benefit-cost ratio, or BCR) of our energy efficiency programs!
