Well it sure is hard to get excited by the prospect of a *voluntary* agreement to adopt a *roadmap* to the end of fossil fuels… it’s the sort of decision we should have taken twenty years ago when we had the time. We pissed away the time we had for gradualism.

Maybe the bigger problem was announcing to camera that Bond is and has always been this specific guy and then having him drive to the old Bond family estate.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Dick Cheney was in no small part an architect of the world we live in, one of the most rancid individuals to take the political stage in the latter decades of the 20th century, and the only tragedy about his death is that it didn’t happen from a jail cell in The Hague

Great conversation. Very interesting to hear Jacob talk about video essays playing on emotions and the role of storytelling in the medium. Mirrors my own thoughts that many in the space lean on the strength of their voice over the strength of their argument.

This suicide pact we have with the car industry is so depressing. Replacing fossil fuels isn't just life saving, a serious attempt would double as a massive infrastructure, jobs and stimulus package. Instead we're going to do business as usual until we all burn.
If you want an explanation of why China is kicking the EU car industry to the curb, look no further than the criminally knuckle dragging EU car makers demanding new loopholes so they don't have to meet any meaningful low emission targets for cars in the EU.

Everything about this headline is hilarious. And the YouTube views are a reflection of how wildly the right has overblown the number of people paying attention.
