Today is Earth Overshoot Day. It’s earlier and earlier every year and marks when humanity has used more resources in a year than what the Earth can regenerate in that year. Every day I work in clean energy is a day when I can hope that we see this trendline reverse. overshoot.footprintnetwork.org

Dear news outlets everywhere: Please, please stop showing photos of people having fun in the sun alongside articles about heatwaves. It's a ridiculous dichotomy and mocks the dangers heatwaves pose. And I suspect that's not your intent.

Found on LinkedIn, from Private Eye Magazine. 10/10, no notes.

Screenshot of a print article, reading: Strait of Sunshine remains open. The strait of sunshine, the 93-million mile strategic rout between the sun and the earth, remained open yesterday as it has been for the last four and half billion years, providing endless free energy to the world. Scientists said, as the heatwaves hitting Britain continue to demolish crops and ruin everyone's day and kill the vulnerable, this would be wonderful to be able to use this free sunshine somehow. "It is very hot," one scientist observed. "If only we had invented some kind of technology which we could use to power literally three-quarters of everything we do on this planet using only daylight. Ah well." The sun, which provides roughly 94,000 times mankind's energy needs and will do so for billions of years to come, for free, remained open at the time of going to press. Meanwhile, America, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and more continued to advise that it was best to take sunshine from millions of years ago, in the form of coal, and use that to roast everyone on earth to death instead. Will this be better in the long run? Almost certainly, says our editorial piece.

Living in an area where fire season is a thing, I follow daily AQI numbers. The air around here had a huge hangover on July 5th. My throat felt scratchy all day. For reference: today’s AQI is 31.

If gaming has taught me anything, I know where we need to go to get instructions for our quest!

Some days we need a little bit of good.

Screenshot of a post, “I don’t know much but I know this: ginger ale on an airplane is like water in the desert, if you cut a grilled cheese diagonally it turns into even more grilled cheese, a thunderstorm is just mother nature’s reminder to finish reading your book, and you are never and ai mean NEVER too old to be stoked when you find a cool rock.”

Ok y’all, what’s your 300-character story about the steel crow bridge?

I find myself thinking about Blair Enns’ recent post on AI. In particular, his second point, “2. We will accept that whatever function we delegate to AI is a function or skill that will atrophy in ourselves or our team.” www.winwithoutpitching.com/insights/the...

Yah, this headline hits the nail on the head. heatmap.news/daily/lee-ra...

One of my firmly-held beliefs is that war is stupid. Also, here is a photo of a tiny cat statue perched exactly where one would expect to find a real cat. It was a delightful surprise on a short meander the other day.

One of the pros of my body not allowing me to sleep in past 5am anymore is when I get to see sunrises like this!

I haven’t laughed so hard while feeling so despondent at the same time in…. years. That’s saying a lot in *waves hands around* these times. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/a...

Screenshot of a portion of an article, saying “One scheduled performer, the rapper Vanilla Ice, has confirmed that he will participate in the event, writing on Instagram that it would be a party bringing everyone together.

In an interview with TMZ published on Friday, Vanilla Ice said that he did not think the concert should be “any political thing,” adding, “I don’t even vote, so I don’t even care.”
The rapper, who has appeared at a New Year’s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago, said he would be happy to perform for anyone.”

Happy Mom’s Day!

A sunny day, flowing river, and trees. The words, “Mother’s Day is when the least amount of crime is committed in the U.S. and I think that says a lot about how many moms are out there committing crimes but can’t today because they’re at brunch with their kids.”

Today feels like it needs some beauty. So, enjoy these flowers.

Quick trip to Spokane for kid events this weekend. There is a sculptural pavilion/structure in Riverfront Park. Really cool. And it looks like a circus tent. We found ourselves calling it the circus bones.

“Born to be whimsical. Forced to fight fascism.” Sign in a store window. Quite possibly the best sign I’ve seen in a long time.
