Apparently absentee ballots in PA are coming in for Biden at nearly the same rate as people who work at the White House.

"What a sad night for the United States of America to hear their President say that," Jake Tapper 🦅 says on CNN. "To falsely accuse people of trying to steal the election, to try to attack democracy that way with his feast of falsehoods. Lie after lie after lie."

We have to remember the purpose of our politics isn’t totally unrelenting warfare.

Donald—you’re out of work and I know I offered you a job. But your performance this past week was tragic and sad. Offer rescinded.

Sometimes you just have to let the child sit by themselves and throw their tantrum, and after they've gotten it out of their system they can come back and play when they're ready to behave.

While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.

🥰 groundbreaking in yet another way

"We will get much farther in the field of sustainable design when we focus on people," says Ariane Laxo, interior designer and the director of sustainability at HGA. Read Laxo's five tips for successful #sustainabledesign: l8r.it/oi3I

Loved joining Angela Davis today to give advice on making working/learning from home a more comfortable and functional. What questions do you have about your home office?

6 years ago today I raised my company's min wage to $70k. Fox News called me a socialist whose employees would be on bread lines. Since then our revenue tripled, we're a Harvard Business School case study & our employees had a 10x boom in homes bought. Always invest in people.

5 #sustainable design principles to follow, from HGA Director of Sustainability Ariane Laxo: l8r.it/vUKC

In a new B&C Editors paper, Ariane Laxo Daniel Overbey Cecil D. Ferguson and I argue for the creation of a robust, institutionally-vetted database of projected climate data to be made available for building performance design and analysis. journal-buildingscities.org/articles/10.53… 1/n

We identify four policy-related barriers to the use of projected climate data. Note how these barriers are primarily policy issues rather than technical ones. #building_codes #building_designers #building_standards #climate_change #climatedata #resilience #sustainable_design 2/n

1. Lack of consensus on the methodology for creating climate data for buildings 2. Lack of a publicly available platform for providing climate projections in a format suitable for building analysis 3/n

3. Lack of consensus on a standardized framework for communicating the results of simulation with long-term climate data projections 4. Liability concerns with using projection data 4/n

Codes and standards for buildings and infrastructure need rethinking to account for adaptation to climate change, including the protection of real estate investments. 5/n

Concerted action from professional and standards-setting bodies is required to standardize and make available projected climate data that can be used for building design and analysis. 6/n

The use of these data and resultant analyses must be standardized in an industry-wide, sanctioned framework to address concerns around liability, misuse and transparency. 7/n
