Bob Dylan in the NYT today, in a piece where artists in their 80s were asked to describe the best and worst parts of being that age, and whether they had advice for the president on his reaching the milestone. (Dylan apparently passed on the final question, not surprisingly.)

Another multiplier in the race towards a frictionless future. 80% cost savings and 30% increase in yield. We can now target any weed and the robots will eliminate them. No chemicals, better yield and more food.
Instead of spraying chemicals… They’re blasting weeds with AI-powered lasers. An onion farmer in South Texas was spending $1,500 per acre on pesticides and labor. Now? Just $300 per acre with their LaserWeeders. That’s over $1,000 saved per acre on 8,000 acres. Plus: • 30% increase in productivity • 3-week shorter onion growing season • Pays for itself in 9 months

Heartbreaking time millions.
Anne Frank photographed with her sister Margot at the beach in Zandvoort, Netherlands, in 1940. Margot was the elder sister of Anne, and according to Anne’s diary, she also had kept a diary of her own, but no trace of it has ever been found. She died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.

Thread on one of the most exciting under-the-radar developments in clean energy: closed loop geothermal Disclosure: I chair @Eavor's advisory board. If you think that means I'm biased, other way round: I serve because closed loop is a BFD; I don't say it's a BFD because I serve.

Consider that George Santos will serve on committees while openly engaging in fraud, but I was once removed from a committee for voting differently from Paul Ryan on a budget resolution.

A little over years ago, the Trump-appointed head of the IRS told us that the annual gap between taxes due and taxes paid in the US is almost $1 trillion per year, caused by chronic underfunded of the IRS. Do you think that is a problem?

Good grief. Parody unnecessary. Except perhaps for the Gypsy Tzars singing group at the end. Also reassuring that western tv productions remain in a comfortable lead.
How warmongers see in the new year. Excruciatingly must-watch.

While Russia was raining bombs and missiles upon Ukrainian civilians on New Year's eve, here is what was happening on Kremlin-controlled state TV: they spoke of peace, love and mercy, referring to Ukraine as "Russia's southern lands." Watch some of this madness:
