“Said they were looking for the Super Bowl. This was in July.” (You’re welcome.)

Quote: “Solar is taking off across Africa. In the 12 months through June 2025, over 15GW worth of solar panels were imported. This wave is happening across the continent: 20 countries have set new import records. Sierra Leone imported enough solar panels in one year to make up 65% of their entire nation’s generating capacity. If you’re not preparing for significant drops in fossil fuel demand, you’re not paying attention…Expect Chinese demand, in particular, to continue increasing thanks to innovations like chargers that can fully recharge your car in five minutes (yes, really).” (from Fix the News)

Omg, the cutest unendangered animal yet. Also from Fix the News, quote: “Good news from Australia! The crest-tailed mulgara has roared back to life. The mini marsupial predator, once listed as Endangered, expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Researchers credit biocontrol, plus the species’ drought-hardy physiology, for a rare continent-scale mammal recovery. Biological Conservation.”

Quote for the day:

I write these letters because I love America. I am staunchly committed to the principle of human self-determination for people of all races, genders, abilities, and ethnicities: the idea that we all have the right to work to become whatever we wish. I believe that American democracy has the potential to be the form of government that comes closest to bringing that principle to reality. —Heather Cox Richardson
