The new Dutch coalition agreement talks a lot about nitrogen. By delaying measures for many years, we've now run into severe limitations on nitrogen deposition in nature areas. And the outgoing right-far-right coalition only made matters worse.
But: I'm not so sure we're taking the next big environmental problem seriously. The EU Water Framework Directive has 2027 goals for water quality, and - guess what - the Netherlands is not on track to meet those.

Also I feel I understand a lot of things about Silicon Valley better now including lots of stuff about social network harms & corporate goals/policies. Belief in Girard's theory of mimetic desire (which I'd not encountered before) explains so much of SV founders' behavior and also it being at least partially reflective of reality explains both their success and some of their harms.
East Bay Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, a "Democrat," is proposing to require Class 2 and 3 e-bikes to be registered and display license plates based on some nonsense about them supposedly being the biggest threat to disabled Californians' safety and not, y'know, cars.

I've often wondered if a Canadian EV "Kei Car" type program would help the country achieve zero emission goals, provide affordable transportation, and reduce grid lock in our cities.
In 1949, Japan created a special category of keijidosha (light vehicles) created for affordability and maneuverability in dense cities. The Kei car quickly became popular despite strict limits on dimensions (length, width, height) and engine displacement (under 660cc). They were given unique license plates for enforcement purposes and had tax benefits for owners.
What if an "Ion" vehicle category was created in Canada:
- must be manufactured in Canada
- minimum 100Km range, suitable for any urban commute
- limited to 50Km/hr
- restricted to street use, not to be used on highways
- size restrictions, perhaps Smart Car sized for personal vehicles, larger for commercial vehicle category
How many city-dwelling Canadians would buy a cheap EV to run errands and give the finger to big oil?

I love the sentiment, but this is actually exactly what law enforcement has always been. It's always been political, always racist, always arbitrary, always genocidal.
ICE is just what happens when they think they can get away with it. The other abuses require a lot more investigation. Abolishing ICE is a good first step.
For all folks who have just now become enraged with the brutality of law enforcement agencies like ICE: I hope we can walk together, and learn from each other, until our ways part... But I do hope you'll walk a little farther with me after we achieve our shared goals.
Taking responsibility for our actions is vital on the path to achieving our goals. As Les Brown aptly notes, determination fuels our journey to success. Let's relentlessly pursue our dreams and conquer new levels together! 💪 #Inspiration #DreamBig #Growth

Automating Computational Chemistry Workflows via OpenClaw and Domain-Specific Skills

arXiv:2603.25522v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Automating multistep computational chemistry tasks remains challenging because reasoning, workflow specification, software execution, and high-performance computing (HPC) execution are often tightly coupled. We demonstrate a decoupled agent-skill design for computational chemistry automation leveraging OpenClaw. Specifically, OpenClaw provides centralized control and supervision; schema-defined planning skills translate scientific goals into executable task specifications; domain skills encapsulate specific computational chemistry procedures; and DPDispatcher manages job execution across heterogeneous HPC environments. In a molecular dynamics (MD) case study of methane oxidation, the system completed cross-tool execution, bounded recovery from runtime failures, and reaction network extraction, illustrating a scalable and maintainable approach to multistep computational chemistry automation.
