Loving #solarpunk. In sync with #ecomodernism but different roots, visions. Been hoping for something like this. On sea level, e.g., given j.mp/climatemomentum, *someone* has to get juiced about designing for a future with no new "normal" coastline & #deepuncertainty. 1/3
There were hints of #solarpunk in the young MIT #oceanengineering crew at the @UNHABITAT #floatingcities special meeting, but really just beginnings. j.mp/ngfloatingciti….. But.. 2/3
I think there are also hints of #solarpunk in the #farmhack community I first encountered years ago at @StoneBarns: dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/12/04/on-… And via @Rainmaker1973 here: 3/3

@cleancooking @paulbledsoe @Forbes Vital @cleancooking point about lag in $$ for cooking energy under #se4all #adg7. A new coalition focused on energy gap for the rural poor has made a compelling case for more such investment to be directed to last-mile households, & biomass options. 1/ pathways2cleancooking.info
@cleancooking @paulbledsoe @Forbes @andy_grieshop @PamJagger @SETIenergy I was happy to facilitate finding #roomforagreement in Pathways to #CleanCooking meeting last week. I was a #biomasscooking skeptic, like many focused mainly on #PM25, for which #LPG is clear scaleable option. But saw #stacking reality - clean and smoky cooking together in India.
@cleancooking @paulbledsoe @Forbes @andy_grieshop @PamJagger @SETIenergy The declaration that emerged makes vital #cleancooking and #sdg7 points. Those gathered had different vantage points, but overcame resistance to #responsediversity & found common agenda. To me, next step is widening circles. Wicked problems need everyone engaged. #energyjustice

@ASKusmer @ddimick @onthemedia @InsideNatGeo @DrTempleGrandin @nytimes e.g., the core narrative that CO2-driven warming is a "problem to solve." Given known knowns on social, CO2 fronts, seems far more an emergent risk to work on in a sustained way. The attached slide puts this in the context of other "War On.." issues. 1/
@ASKusmer @ddimick @onthemedia @InsideNatGeo @DrTempleGrandin @nytimes Others are increasingly making this point, including @wenstephenson and even former @@UNFCCC leader @CFigueres... 2/
@ASKusmer @ddimick @onthemedia @InsideNatGeo @DrTempleGrandin @nytimes @wenstephenson @UNFCCC @CFigueres “We’re not going to solve climate change,” said @cfigueres in opening #AspenIdeas chat with @DLeonhardt & former Obama lead negotiator Todd Stern. She stressed #parisagreement set us on a very long journey toward a climate-resilient, post-carbon world. 3/

Thirty years ago today, #GlobalWarming first became headline news as NASA's James Hansen testified, DC baked, Yellowstone burned. Here's the opener of my @DiscoverMag cover story, pegged to the Senate hearing. CO2 seemed destined to follow CFCs.. 1/ j.mp/warming88revkin
The impacts projected then were those emerging now, including chronic flooding of Miami and other low coastal cities.. 2/
Models and measurements by @PeterGleick & others pointed to vulnerability to California's snowpack water supplies.. 3/

This piece from R. Douthat is a good at the odd, esoteric "Ahmari/French" debate on the right. In it, RD actually raises some interesting questions not just about American conservatism, but about the nature of belief systems in general. (1/n) nytimes.com/2019/06/04/opi…
As a preface, this is an esoteric debate, and a good example of why it's prudent not to confuse Twitter or small political magazines with politics writ large. (2/n)
As @_Jon_Green noted, the debate RD refers to will strike most ppl (even a lot of right of center ppl) as weird and it's kind of premised on not being able to "tell the difference between pride month and the great leap forward." (3/n)

THREAD: And so from the heights of Luke 15’s parables (cf. my previous thread), we transition into the rather murky depths of Judges 17-21.

As usual, the aim isn’t to cover/summarise the whole text, but simply to pick out particular and sometimes overlooked points of interest.
(Note to self: Before you say something like ‘I plan to tweet my way through Judges’, make sure you’ve thought it through. You might reach the end of the Book and have to make good on your promise.)

So then...

Chs. 17-18 are some of the bleakest in Scripture.
Thus far Judges has taken us from the days of Joshua to the death of Samson--a period of some 400 years.

Chs. 17-18 have clear literary links to what precedes them (e.g., the mention of 1,100 shekels, the ref. to ‘Zorah and Eshtaol’, etc.).

Illicit massage business #IMB is a $2.5 billion year industry #SexTrafficking
Indicators that a massage parlor is engaging in commercial sex and potential human (sex or labor) trafficking include:

Prices significantly ⚑below market-level
(e.g. $40 for a one- hour massage in a city where $80 is the norm)
Indicators that a massage parlor is engaging in commercial sex and potential human (sex or labor) #trafficking include:

• Women report that they ⚑need a large tip (e.g. for expenses, food, family), sometimes even ⚑expressing distress if they do not receive a tip

I'm currently at this #Brexit conference in Copenhagen, where the British ambassador and several #DExEU officials will be on panels with representatives of Danish trade and security. It'll be very interesting to see what's said, especially in light of May's recent Munich speech.
And now that I'm not desperately trying to keep up with livetweeting it, I shall turn my mess of self-retweets into a proper thread. #Brexit #BrexitDK
acknowledges #Brexit will have challenges; emphasises no naïveté regarding "land of milk and honey". Refreshing sense of pragmatism; we'll see how #DExEU and DK reps present it.

1/ If you abstract out a level, money itself is just a "currency" which can be exchanged for other assets like time with your family, trips to the beach, or books.
2/ You can think of each of these things as being "tokenized" and assign to them a certain value.
3/ The value of these tokens would fluctuate just like financial assets in a market.
