Russia's mobilization vs. Ukraine's increasingly Western-equipped force could be the nearest thing to an empirical case study in the long-running dispute between capability/quality and capacity/quantity in defense strategy and force planning. 1/25

Beijing's propaganda efforts receive far less attention than the notorious Russian disinformation campaigns of recent years. That's an oversight, writes @AdamMinter trib.al/nrcmzF3 via @opinion

When a tech company does it, it’s a dangerous social experiment
When the NYT does it, it’s an A/B test

Draft dodging is courageous but gotta love the total disrespect to pro-democracy protesters in Russia getting arrested and then drafted as punishment right now. Hope the clicks feel good over some weak logic.

Russian men running for the hills while Iranian women call for the death of the dictator is the most profound contrast

@ParkerMolloy @mattyglesias This is all pretty new - traditionally income made people more conservative while education made people more liberal.
But the relative strength of education vs income effects changed dramatically after 2016, which is why superPAC spending went from 80% R in 2010 to 73% D in 2018

Texas's solar market is booming, despite a lack of explicit solar policies. What Texas does have is:
1. Lots of sun.
2. Lots of land.
3. A competitive non-monopoly utility model.
4. Easy permitting for both energy and transmission.
Every state and country can learn from 3 & 4.
Nat Bullard @NatBullard
I doubt that many people that last year Texas was already the second-biggest solar market (defined as 'balancing authority') in the US in terms of power generated.
TX utility-scale solar generation CAGR 2012-21: 71%
TX solar % of total load in 2021: 3%

EV sales in California are absolutely surging.
Below is a short 🧵 on the incredibly progress being made in decarbonizing transportation in CA, but also some of the challenges ahead for the state’s already strained grid. (1/9)

@GeneralStaffUA in their evening update says the Russians are already sending some of the just forcibly raised conscripts into fighting units after no training whatsoever. If true, this is desperate stuff.

Broken Hero on Last Power Drive 🌁🇨🇦🇹🇼🇺🇦🚀✈️@accidentalflyer
@Noahpinion Easiest, quickest solution will be for Israel to supply Ukraine with the proven IAI Harop and take out Russian drone operators first. Can US exert enough pressure on the Israeli government to make it happen though?

SF Traffic Citation Data@sfcitationdata
Since SFPD releases traffic citation data as monthly PDFs, it’s not easy to see the longer term trends. For those who are interested, I’ve compiled 2014-2022 data. Clearly, the decline has been gradual and long term, and it predates the pandemic. What is going on here?
