BNEF+IEA say 2026 will install less solar than in 2025.

Here are caveats:
1. They say by a small margin: BNEF=1% fall, IEA 9% fall.
2. There's huge uncertainty (so may not happen).
3. If additions are unchanged in 2025 to 2026, it will still add 25%(!) to cumulative capacity.

really tired of seeing claims that our illegal kidnapping of the Venezuelan president is to "distract" us from the Epstein files. Trump and the men around him have wanted this for a long time. this is a bad thing in its own right, not some attempt to hide from accountability

Happy New Year everyone! We're back for another year and still in our celebrating era because we just turned 75, which is a grand age for anyone, even a museum
Happy New Year to everyone and a very happy 75th birthday to @themerl.bsky.social, which came into being officially on 1 January 1951 (the same day as the first national broadcast of The Archers).

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Here’s a little overview of what I’m up to this year
How can historical memory benefit us now? Through her fellowship with the Russell Sage Foundation, Elizabeth Wrigley-Field seeks to understand the stories of loss behind  death rates, and how we can use this to understand the meaning of our own lives.

now that President Trump, former host of celebrity apprentice, has finally brought the coward dictator to justice, I think i can confidently say most Americans will weep with gratitude and joy, responding to the pollsters with common, joyful phrases such as “who is Maduro” and “wait you did what”

Every major free speech org has said the IHRA definition suppresses constitutionally protected speech. Every major human rights group has said it suppresses legitimate advocacy. The scandal is that Adams adopted the definition, not that Mamdani rejected it. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/04/n...

There's significant evidence from state legislative term limits that they do, in fact, empower both lobbyists and state executive branches.

"Disagreeing" without offering any counter-evidence is just vibes.
I disagree with the suggestion that term limits would further empower lobbyists and therefore we shouldn't consider them as a viable path forward. The current system of federal elected officials who are financially incentivized to become insider traders until they choose to retire isn't working.

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

Folks bypass things like the fact that NYPD activated drones and 30 cop cars for a demonstration of 1000 people in freezing weather today. The levels of surveillance and potential repression are taken as regular order in this country.

What is there to stop China from invading Taiwan, Putin from kidnapping Zelensky? If the US can kidnap Maduro, then any asshole dictator can kidnap the leader of another country and occupy that country. Chaos. Madness.

Drugs are the primary boogeyman used to justify imperial intervention in Latin America. When academics and activists like myself talk about legalizing drugs, it's not only to keep drug users safe from the toxic supply (which is reason enough), it's about geopolitical stability. It affects YOU
