Ok so I saw people were googling Brat and having a hard time because Google is mush. Brat is a dance pop album Charli XCX put out last month. It has earned the best critical reviews of any album in 2024. It’s fun and popular among the youths and the gays and the branding is lime green.

Charli XCX says "Kamala IS brat" causing millions of Olds to google what that means. (It's a compliment.)

When you engage people in climate solutions, it makes them more supportive of climate action - even in some cases changing their mind about whether it's real and it's serious. I tell some compelling stories of this happening in my book Saving Us but here's the cross-sectional data!

I always love watching people discover, or rediscover, this performance. Happy to answer any questions people might have about it. One thing I’ll highlight: he _always_ played like this! This was what he did every time out. (Also? The guitar was caught by Prince’s tech Taki, who handed it to Oprah.)

Many players in the French team have been outspoken throughout the Euros, most notably Koundé and Thuram (son of Lilian who was a 98 WC winner and very outspoken politically in France before it was popular)

Wet bulb temp is one measure of heat stress. If it gets too close to body temp, no amount of sweat or air flow will help. We develop heat stroke, then die. A widely accepted limit of survivability is 35 °C (95 °F). Thankfully, it rarely gets this high on Earth… for now.

The first chapter in Kim Stanley Robinson’s novel, The Ministry for the Future, describes a similar scene in India, where an entire city’s population dies b/c the wet bulb temp is too high and their bodies can’t cope. These are the very real future scenarios that keep me up at night.

"The results were shocking: in Phoenix, about 800,000 people — roughly half the population — would need emergency medical treatment for heat stroke and other illnesses. The flood of people seeking care would overwhelm the city’s hospitals. More than 13,000 people would die."
