Out-of-touch person question: are we still using DALL-E for AI art or is there something new and better? Trying to pull together some transmission and pop culture mashups

PK4 rescheduled but I did get to talk to 1st graders. They already knew an insane amount about where power comes from, that we need to grow the grid, and one even asked about alternating current. I said I'd cover that next year.

Do I have a dissertation for that kid!

Career day at school tomorrow. I fully intend to teach 40 four-year-olds about the Macrogrid. AMA.

Bikeshare-->Metro-->Bikeshare would be such a value add to Google Maps Transit modes.

I made a huge mistake

V will not eat pizza and Brad will not eat pineapple, so inevitably when I find myself out with friends I'm just eating Hawaiian pizza to check my craving boxes.

I'm going to try to break the cycle tonight. Hope I don't regret it.

Huge news. HUGE. I too love marshmallows of all form and quality.

I don't know if we're still Stan-ing things, but I will Stan creamed onions until the day I die. Holiday staple. To the haters in the replies I quote my favorite children's book: how will you know what you like if you don't try?

Starting my holidays listening to the #BigDadEnergy of Brad discussing weather and traffic with his FIL after completing a 4.5 hr turned 7 hr drive.

Dressing for brunch and frustrated that I don't have any formal cardigans. Further depressed to realize this is a classic woman-over-40 concern and I'm just becoming a invisible cliche of the culture.

Absolutely nailed a TSwift reference at work today and realized halfway thru that I wasn't in thinktank world anymore. Some folks cracked a smile tho. James Hewett and Jack Andreasen would have loved it

Language evolves, yada yada yada, but when did we start saying subSEEquent?

Yamit Lavi + Jay Apt's research shows inverter-based resources (IBRs) (wind, solar, and battery) providing fast frequency response (FFR) as a cost-effective alternative to conventional system inertia in grids with high penetrations of IBRs

Not embarrassed to admit I'm listening to my first ever episode of New Heights. Already loving it.

I found Melissa Kearney's book careful and interesting, but came away convinced the conversation we should be having is about how to improve outcomes for kids growing up with a single parent, not how to get those parents married. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

US prison labor is cruel and pointless legalized slavery. I know first-hand.

“Prisons are designed to warehouse, traumatize and exploit people, then send them back home in worse shape than when they entered the system.”

My latest for the Guardian news.

Opted for Capsule today because of the promise of same day delivery and it was a huge mistake. Not getting my prescription until tomorrow afternoon. Could have had it from my extremely slow and understaffed pharmacy by now and be on my third dose by tomorrow afternoon.

This is so exciting! DOE announced four winners for the America Made HVDC prize competition!

Happy ‘pearl street station startup day’ - the birth of electricity generation and distribution as we know it! (Well kind of.. aside from that whole AC/DC thing)
