- Yesterday I was chatting with an environmental reporter about a particular sad story and she sighed and said “humans are the WORST.” I said the first thing that came to mind which was “well now, some of my best friends are humans.” I had to immediately ask her not to quote me on that last bit. 🤦♀️🤣

- Congratulations to my friend @lokaldammert.bsky.social for this great interview w @dialogueearth.bsky.social! One of the top questions the 21st century presents: will we repeat the colonialist history of the oil/gas industry for RE? We can - and must - do better. dialogue.earth/en/business/...
- Join us Thursday for a public forum on US-China competition for critical/transition minerals. It’s my honor to join @triofrancos.bsky.social and Maia Seeger on a panel dedicated to the struggle for inclusive and sustainable production for a just energy transition. ips-dc.org/event/u-s-ch...
- This year we’re going to try to make rosettes, which are the answer to the question “What if you made funnel cake with a branding iron?” It says it’s Swedish but looks like it belongs at the Texas State Fair. Susu & I are excited to see what comes next. Has anybody tried this at home? Any advice?
- Small econ victories: a lovely way to start the workday! 😄 I’ve been playing this thing for years and today might be my 2nd or 3rd time ever getting it in one guess. #Tradle #1002 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 oec.world/en/games/tra...
- Happy December! For folks with big holiday plans, Susu says it’s important to stay focused on your goals. Personally I think it’s just as important to keep your plans achievable, but Susu’s never been held back by such concerns.

- The work of Kentikelenis & @thomstubbs.bsky.social on IMF & austerity is unparalleled. For a brief intro, check out this webinar, where I was honored to spend an hour interviewing them about this impressive new book. www.youtube.com/live/lL7NwQV...
- Shifter is right: the US approach is small. US developers missed the chance to develop Peru's mega-port. But respectfully, the US didn't lose LatAm. LatAm is managing relationships for diversification and dynamism. It's not a passive prize to be won or lost. www.ft.com/content/b9cf...
