We’re watching a rocket-measuring contest between two billionaires. Why?
This Friday, let’s look at things a bit differently. Take, for example, the Disney classic that’s really about climate change, or why Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson should maybe stick around on Earth. Did we mention this happy hour is sober? All that, plus another round of our favorite game Half Full/Half Empty.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “New York City warned ‘climate change is here’ as storm floods streets and subway” from The Guardian
- “Monsters Inc. is a metaphor for transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy” from Flicks
- “Monsters, Inc.: An Animated Movie About the Modern Energy Industry” from Energy at the Movies
- “Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson Shouldn’t Be Going to Space” from The Atlantic
- “Biden to Urge More Scrutiny of Big Business” from The New York Times
- And our Half Full/Half Empty topics: the Ever Given, COVID resume gaps, Fox Weather and TikTok resumes
- Here’s a link to join our fan-run Discord server
