Argentina’s football players think they are in a diving competition. It’s a Chilean ref - and Canada beat Chile in the last game #CANMNT #CopaAmerica
I ❤️ Maxime Crepeau! What an amazing save! This is the keeper that stared down Messi and Di Maria in the last game against Argentina #CANMNT #CopaAmerica
Alphonso Davies is showing his leadership skills now - keeping calm and keeping his head, and making good decisions #CANMNT #CopaAmérica
Goal Canada! Such sweet words! Beautiful play, wonderful goal by Jonathan David! #CopaAmèrica #CANMNT
Ref & VAR let a Lopez head butt to the head go! Unbelievable! Makes the Zidane head butt look friendly. Where do they find these refs? #CopaAmèrica #CANMNT
The Me$$i effect? Canada v Argentina, a clear trip on Shackleton on the edge of the box. Ref says no penalty, so does the Uruguay VAR. Do the dollars Me$$i brings to every stadium play a role I wonder? #CopaAmèrica #messi #canada #CANMNT

That's a picture of the first gas station in Texas to install solar. It's a 49 KW system in Crandall, Texas.
This picture, indeed, is worth a thousand words.

In the NHL Final the team with the most northernly rink (Edmonton) are playing the team with the most southernly rink ( Sunrise Florida). There is the same distance in the standings of the teams. #nhl #stanleycup #maps #stadiums
Canadian wildfires are in the news again and it’s only May. Drought and strong winds are creating perfect firestorm conditions. Ironically these large fires are near major oil and gas towns

Greedflation. Time to break up the food monopolies
Loblaw Companies reported $13.58 billion in first-quarter revenue today — a 4.5 per cent increase from a year earlier.

New research published in Nature estimates the climate change impacts will reduce global GDP by $38B a year in 26 years (2050). Puts the 3 cent rise in carbon tax in perspective. reuters.com/business/environ….
This is amazing! Closed loop battery recycling should change some minds about EV adoption!
Tesla co-founder JB Straubel has built an EV-battery colossus in the scrublands of Nevada. He spent the day giving me the first look at everything @redwoodmat has been building.
It starts with *30 acres* of old batteries headed headed for recycling 🧵

It's the first full loop battery supply chain in the US — and probably in the world. Independent Stanford researchers were allowed access to Redwood's data for the most comprehensive real-world study of EV recycling. The environmental savings were 🤯 3/ bloomberg.com/news/features/…
Gives a sense of the scale of the problem. Thanks @TheOceanCleanup
LATEST: The first flush of 2024’s rainy season and Interceptor 006 is already preventing tons of trash from flowing into the Caribbean Sea from the Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala.
Will this be our largest river catch ever? Keep an eye on our channels while our crew works round the clock with two excavators to remove all the waste! 👀
If the goal of moving the capital gains goalposts is taxing the very rich, the lifetime gains exemption should have no restrictions. Then every middle-class family with a rental nest egg can use it once while the rich who live off capital gains pay more as intended.

Proud of my graduate student, Kaiwei Luo, because today his first research chapter of his PhD was published in Nature.
