World surpasses 40% clean power as renewables see record rise

This is from the Global Electricity Review 2025 by Ember. Although this isn't something you are going to see in newspaper headlines, the progress we made with renewables in 2024 is a pretty big deal and if you're someone who likes a lot of data and graphs it's really worth reading.

I'm going to leave this video here because Hank Green does a better job of covering it than I am going to.

"This to me feels like news. It feels like a big deal. It feels like things are changing, like we are hitting a moment with electricity generation that really does matter. And over the next five years we will hit the point where we are generating less and less energy with fossil fuels every year. That's great. And that's not news. I didn't see anyone covering this [...]. It's not news because it's not bad and it's also not news because it's not like 'we did it, we hit the moment!'."

I think this quote from Hank's video does a good job of encapsulating how the slow, gradual progress that is happening often doesn't make it into the news--because it's not a dramatic emergency or a "we did it, we fully solved climate change!" kind of moment that makes for good headlines.

But that then gives people the idea that we're hardly making any progress on addressing climate change, which is not true at all. The fact that we need to continue to double-down on this progress to do it more and faster does not negate that so much progress has already been made.

Increasing interest in the "Byler lawyer" video over time

Interesting...

The "click-through rate" (the percentage of people who click the thumbnail when it has been shown to them) has been steadily increasing since the video first published:

From 2.7% at the end of 2024, to now it being almost 5.0%

I wonder what it is: more interest in Byler? More receptiveness to it? More anger? (lol)

And in case you're curious, this is what its view count looks like over time:

After the initial interest, it slowed down. Then it picked up with the TUDUM date announcement teaser, then it picked up again after the recent teaser.

EDIT: And the recent bump actually seems to be INCREASING:

Interest will likely continue to increase as Season 5 nears.

And once November 26 comes, I will go into hiding. (Sigh) Because if it suddenly starts getting 25x as many views, that tells me too much before I film my reactions.

The Gay Hockey Thing is an absolute phenomenon in so many ways it's a little hard to conceptualize. It's cool to be in a thing while it's happening, never had that fandom experience before. It's also just ✨Bonkers✨
