"En zo stimuleert Nederland fossiele innovatie met belastingkorting."

Nederland innoveert weer meer in de fossiele dan in de groene toekomst
Van waterstof tot kernfusie: groene uitvindingen moeten de uitstoot van broeikasgassen stoppen, klonk het in 2015 bij de ondertekening van het Klimaatakkoord van Parijs. Wat komt er van die ambities terecht?

#EroticMusings 16: Is there a setting or genre you’d like to create in, but haven’t? What’s holding you back?
That would be my idea "kinky science-fiction detective novels". Honestly, the issues the idea has (what is a crime in an utopian world, why would anyone commit it and how do I avoid writing copaganda) would be actually solvable.
But there is so much still to w…

Today's job: the utopian project of syllabus drafting. Imagining a perfect course is a way I deal with the existential dread brought on by the impending semester.

Universal power-law distribution functions in an electromagnetic kinetic plasma: implications for the inverted temperature profile in the solar corona
We develop a self-consistent quasilinear theory for the relaxation of electromagnetic kinetic plasmas, and demonstrate that the mean distribution functions of both electrons and ions tend to relax to a universal $v^{-5}$ tail. Large-scale electromagnetic (EM) fields efficiently accelerate the unscreened, fast particles but not the screened, slow ones. This non-thermal tail may arise in the solar corona from EM turbulence despite collisions, allowing suprathermal particles to escape the sun's gr…

I’ve mentioned before that podcasts aren’t my jam. Except when shoveling. Maybe. Tech podcasts make we want to throw down my shovel and write stuff.
Stumbled across ‘A Meal of Thorns’ from ‘Ancillary Review of Books’ (“an experiment in utopian criticism”):

Latest Episode: About the Podcast: A Meal of Thorns is a critical book club hosted by Jake Casella Brookins. Each episode, we’ll be looking closely at works of speculative fiction, thinking a…

“So imagine a world whose nations—mostly its rich nations—just decided to keep those Chinese factories (and the ones in India, and Vietnam, and in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s district in Georgia, which is the largest in the western hemisphere) busy. Keep them open,all of them, around the clock, churning out ever-cheaper solar panels and then either selling them at the deepest possible discount or maybe just piling them up on every wharf and railway siding in the world for people to come and take away.”

Every US tech company should sever ties with Europe and focus on LATAM/APAC for expansion. Europe isn't worth the ever-increasing amount of trouble associated with doing business here. Would also give European companies some breathing room to co-innovate the Progressive Utopian Surveillance State hand-in-hand with the EU.
