Saturday was very hot in Sydney, over 40 degrees for much of the day.
And as the sun set, it was still hot.
Prices spiked to over $10,000/MWh, and stayed there for nearly an hour.
A short thread on what really happened, and what it means for the renewables transition. 1/

Now it's worth noting that at 6:20pm, this spike was still forecast. But it wasn't forecast to endure for 10 price intervals. As it happened, the peak grid demand was slowly falling (middle column in post above), but not as fast as that available (right column) was. 2/
In the middle of Sydney (Olympic Park) it was still over 40 degrees at 6:30pm. People wouldn't have been turning down their air conditioning much.
Later on that evening, around 8pm, the temperature would drop 12 degrees in an hour. Wind picked up. Still no clouds.
But at dusk it was still very hot. 3/

Shiva's form Krittivasheshvara as ' Cosmos of Kashi ' ...
The 18 lingas symbolises the eighteen branches of knowledge comprising 4 Vedas, 6 Vedāṅgas, and remaining disciplines. In this sense Kashi itself becomes a symbol of complete knowledge

Shiva's vehicle "Bull", Nandi, as a cosmogonic frame of Kashi....
As Śiva’s vahana, Nandi governs the rhythm of time and oversees the continuous functioning of saṃsāra on behalf of his lord

Kāśī encompasses multiple sacred territories defined across different ritual and cosmological contexts. Among these 5 are the most prominent. All possess irregular spatial forms

I want to demonstrate Donald Trump's highly abnormal pathology, with one issue, that is being treated as a bit of a joke. However, as he is deadly serious about it, we should take it seriously. His obsession with getting a Nobel Peace Prize.
1/🧵
1/🧵
The first, and most important aspect of this obsession, is that Trump can't claim he is doing this for America. This is purely about Trump's vanity and ego. There would be no material net gain for America, if it happened.
2/

The second, and most important point, is that Trump is objectively unfit to even be considered for a Nobel Peace Prize. Trump has been threatening to annexe, or militarily invade Canada, Greenland, Mexico and South American countries from day one of his second term.

My mum still in hospital. I have reported on the terrible air quality and lack of respiratory protection but I was unprepared for what happened on tonight's visit.
For the 40th time, I visit the ward she's on. As I walk in, nurse says "you know your mum isn't here, right?"

Well of course I did not know this.
"They moved her in the night"
Where to?
"I'm not too sure - ask at the nursing station"
Why did they move her?
"I don't know"
Another nurse arrives "They moved her to W9"
Why?
"I don't know - ask W9"
Why did nobody inform me?
"I don't know"

As her next of kin, I can't understand not being told this.
Anyway. I arrive in W9.
I'm looking for (mum's name).
"Are you sure she is on this ward"
As it happens, not really but I've been told she was moved here.
"Not on my section. Ask the nurse on Bay A"

Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness RN.
He is dangerous in the same way that a cornered, rabid raccoon is dangerous. He is looking for points of weakness where he can escape. Stay focused on the reasons why the walls are closing in. Don't flinch when he froths at the mouth.
It is shameful that we have to talk about the President of the United States this way. But it is who he is. He is behaving exactly the way you would expect a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who was granted immunity by John Roberts to behave. Know your enemy.
Attempting to criminalize the actions of an independent public servant, Fed Chair Jay Powell, for the sin of acting independently—in the public interest rather than the President's political interest—is an outrage. It's bad economics, bad politics, bad for the rule of law, bad for the public sector, bad for American credibility and bad for Americans.
The Department of Justice has become the Department of Recriminations, and it would be terrible for the Federal Reserve to become the Federal Subserve.
Congress didn't give Trump the power to run monetary policy, and it's up to Congress to ensure that he doesn't just steal it.

Don't doubt that Jay Powell is going to war.
I've never seen a central bank release an evening video so directly taking on a head of state. In this case, the medium is the message: Powell is taking his case to the people.

This week I wrote an 11 page summary of violence my 6-yr-old stepson witnessed. I provided this to his biological mother. The bio parents each gave their accounts to the therapist. My stepson, based on my testimony, provided by bio mom, got enrolled into DV-specific therapy.
It is such a strange, horrific experience. To document one's own abuse so extensively for another woman. In this case, my partner's ex-wife. The rewards can feel so small. But therapy is not small. I told the truth. To other adults. A child will not live in that darkness alone.
That's how I got separated from all of my things. I had a whole escape plan. But I was so scared for my stepkids. I made a calculation. I asked their bio mom, "Will you use your legal power to put them in therapy?" She said, "Yes." Then I told her, "Ok, I'll give you everything."
A new blog, on the challenges China now faces as it manages renewed pressure on its currency to appreciate

I of course think that China should allow its currency to appreciate -- the yuan is absolutely very weak (see the PPP comparisons) and, in real terms, it is about as it weak as it has been in the last 15 years while China's trade surplus is at an all time high

And I don't think the magnitude (and breadth) of China's sustained export outperformance (in volume terms) over the last two plus years can be explained w/o reference to the yuan's real depreciation in 22/23

Greenland-Arctic thoughts:
Danish notion there isn't a China problem...what does their own data tell us in (select) Nordic intelligence threat assessments re Arctic (in)security viz China?
(PIC cover of Norway's 2024 intel assessment ft. Bear 🇷🇺 & Dragon 🇨🇳)
nb: did not include Russia bc over 50% of Arctic Ocean coastline is legitimate Russian territory so in "external actor" terms lets just look at China.

1. 🇳🇴2025 Norwegian Threat Assessment (PST)
"Chinese actors have shown interest in developing the Port of Kirkenes, and in establishing the port as a transportation hub in the Arctic"
2025 Norwegian Intelligence Service (FOCUS)
"China has ambitions to strengthen its presence, capabilities and influence in the Arctic in the coming years. China currently has five polar icebreakers and is working on developing heavier icebreakers and icebreakers with nuclear propulsion. This enables more Chinese sailings in the Arctic, thereby increasing the ability to map the region for both civilian and military purposes."

@LidiaOrrego1 @giantfan5690 @jacobawells I believe he's bitter to be quite honest.
I will pray for him and if he truly needs help I hope he gets it but this isn't the way at all.

@LidiaOrrego1 @giantfan5690 @jacobawells You shouldn't tear down others to step on them and lift yourself up.
@giantfan5690 @LidiaOrrego1 @jacobawells @TrustWallet If this is legitimate at all, any part of it, you shouldn't spam it 10 times a day for a year and keep using different tweaks because it won't help you any. It's very suspicious. Ask someone for help because that isn't going to work and definitely attacking others won't work
