I liked @lionel_trolling's piece on Magness and Marx, but I think you can summarize the whole thing in brief meme form.

I think what's happening is that the Farm Bureau data @crampell was citing is the non-Thanksgiving price of turkey, which as USDA poultry economist David Harvey told me a decade ago is always higher than the Thanksgiving price.

MAJOR NEWS! Super excited to share that @upsidefoods is the first cultivated meat company in the world to receive a 'No Questions" letter from FDA. This means FDA has accepted our conclusion that UPSIDE's cultivated chicken is safe to eat. Truly HISTORIC!

Living in a dense area and then going to one that's not always trips me up because my sense of map scales are magnified. In suburban areas I feel like I'm looking at a 20 min walk with the denser scale but then you do the travel time and it's actually an 1 hour and 30 minutes.

@JHWeissmann Look, I am one of those right-neoliberals everyone thinks is a jerk because he hates NEPA and the FDA and such.
And even *I* support regulation like "if you say you're holding my deposits, you can't secretly loan them to a fund run by your eccentric ex-girlfriend."

Oh man, that's rough that your journalist friend published the things that you told her. I hope your friend the FBI agent and your friend the SEC investigator show more discretion and tact!

They published my messages. Those were not intended to be public, but I guess they are now. https://t.co/yH9aKmESY8

Small modular reactors are the great hope for fission power to make a comeback. And it's not looking great. I like nuclear but I'm very bearish on the cost.

New cost estimates for NuScale's FOAK in Utah/Idaho put it at $100/MWh. Not a great outlook for the project https://t.co/mWfPPRRP38
