New Catalysis Breakthrough Could Unlock Massive Energy Savings
In a significant breakthrough for the field of computational chemistry, chemical engineers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have created a model that elucidates how catalytic reactions work at the atomic level. This newfound understanding could enable engineers and chemists to design improved catalysts and optimize industrial procedures, possibly resulting in enormous energy savings.

"Toronto's waterfront is NOT FOR SALE.
As Mayor, I will stop the province’s plan for a private spa by withholding the 16 acres of City-owned property at Ontario Place that is needed by the Ford government to proceed with its plans for the site." -Josh Matlow -Toronto mayoral candidate

If Tennessee is the new template for accountability and ethics then those in Congress and the Senate who were part of Trump’s J6 coup should also be expelled.

Basically, Doug Ford is building a five-storey underground parking garage and a giant concrete battleship on the #Toronto waterfront.

"This is what the Therme Spa ads don’t want you to see; their #fortress on the lake, blocking views of the #OntarioPlace Cinesphere and Pods, the clearcutting of Michael Hough’s landscape architecture along with 850 trees." @onplace4all

The hard hitting journalism I’ve come to trust from the ghouls at Fox.

“My hot take on “15 minute cities” is if you can get to the coffee shop within fifteen minutes, but the barrista who makes your drink can’t afford to live closer than a half-hour away, then you live in a theme park.” - Gareth Klieber #cities #urbanism

I think one of the biggest problems in the world today is that people decide their opinions in advance and then perform unbelievable mental gymnastics to defend that opinion instead of even considering changing their minds.

In 1988, the federal government banned metal-tipped lawn darts because a single child died from one.

Sometimes I read these alternative history novels with the premise of “What if the USA lost the American Revolution?”

The plot is always super dystopian.

Meanwhile, I’m thinking, “I know what would happen if the USA lost the American Revolution: they’d be Canada.”
