Insightful and neat from @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social If you won’t have an argument, you’ll struggle to make one. That’s been missing and is much needed

Burning Mao | Fernanda Eberstadt | Granta granta.com/burning-mao/, best American essay of 2026, awesome revelatory writing, full of verve and swerve
So proud of Hampstead Heath ponds community #transinclusive www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
And now to #BakerBeach to unwind after excellent though back-to-back #AAG2026 sessions today. All these trips have been done on the city’s rapid and inexpensive public transportation system. Thank you #SanFrancisco
Issue 11 of @europeanreview.bsky.social now out includes my short piece looking at the #climatecrisis through the paintings of #Goya with a focus on renewable energy battles in Spain #RenovablesSiPeroNoAsi europeanreviewofbooks.com/the-cudgelle...
For #AAG2026 geographers visiting #SanFrancisco who are done with travelling along corridors indoors I can recommend outdoors with #sealions at North Point, setting sun over the #GoldenGateBridge up #TelegraphHill and ditto from the Pacific side at #SutroBaths and #LandsEnd. Fabulous geography city

I worry that "Trump can't simply cancel the midterms" -- which is true! -- has somewhat dulled people to the many many smaller things that the Trumpies can do, and are doing, to *distort* the midterms.
‘The summer of 1977, when I was sixteen years old, I started work at Andy Warhol’s Factory.’ Fernanda Eberstadt on Andy Warhol.
Hey @nytimes.com, @washingtonpost.com, @latimes.com, @sfchronicle.com
why is this not front page news? This is a really big deal, with devastating impacts. If you all would report on the science, it would be harder for electeds to dismiss it so recklessly.
Please step it up!

NEW ANALYSIS: What's going on in Spain?
Spain's wholesale electricity price in early 2026: €44/MWh. Italy: €127. Germany: €96. UK: €103.
Wind+solar now deliver 44% of generation. Gas sets the price in just 9% of hours, down from 55% in 2022.

How wind and solar quietly pushed gas off the margin, and the wholesale price followed.
