Co-chair of the European Greens celebrating a policy that will do more to damage the environment than any other.
Sex is good but have you tried having your country shutting down its last nuclear power plants in 30 mn?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Only 6% of the electricity produced by the nuclear plants going offline will be from renewable energy. The rest will be coal & gas.

Coal power produces ~100 times more radioactive waste than nuclear power. Therefore, Europe is about to become more - not less - radioactive.

1/23: It’s widely believed that “grit” is one of the most important characteristics of highly successful people. I have an emerging (and controversial view) that the YOLO investing behavior that we’re seeing is directly attributable to a societal reduction in grit. Unpacked:
We started Bondy to keep encourage buying local. We are currently close to a match for PS 261 in Brooklyn. Help your neighborhood (more to come) and gift your friends gift cards from local businesses through Bondy #buylocal instagram.com/p/CKmJDM_hUAg/…
Head to bondy.nyc to find more shops and to watch for more neighborhoods to come online soon.

History also starts with a whisper not a bang. When Einstein published Special Relativity, nothing much happened. Really new stuff is too radical to even be noticed, it takes time. What are today's equivalents? Epigenetics, network dynamics, the physics of life and entropy?

1/- I think the person who wrote this is very confused about what makes NYC great. I moved to the city in the late 1970s, when NYC was supposed to be dead and never coming back, but the city in the late 1970s and 1980s turned out to be the most exciting...

I’m tired of people saying NYC is “out of control”. You’re amplifying the fear attached to these protests and are allowing our government to usher in martial law. We’re peaceful. Support your community, not your government.

Hiring isn’t the challenge. The challenge is finding people who can be effective while working for executives whose only qualifications and training are narcissistic levels of self confidence.
So. Many. Numbers.
Hard things are hard and sometimes things happen.
Luckily, nobody takes their numbers seriously...
