in order to meet policymakers’ EV and green energy hopes, we will need to mine more than twice as much copper over the next 25 years as has been mined throughout all of human history up to 2018.
“It is highly unlikely that there will be sufficient additional new mines to achieve 100% EV by 2035,”
Watching H5N1 extend its host range, now show respiratory symptoms in a human case, should concern us all. We are whistling past the graveyard, not remotely prepared for what comes next. Perhaps H5N1 will not acquire the mutations necessary to ensure efficient human-to-human transmission, but counting on good fortune is not a strategy.

Me, this morning, on little sleep:
"I'm going to plant all of these partial seed packets!"
husband: "sounds great!"
me: starts emptying all of the packets into 1 big bag, including 3000 carrot seeds.
husband: "oh, you're not going to separate them at all...."
me: looking crazed, "No!"
The kids and I have just completed planting everything. I can't wait to see what happens.

I ask this relatively regularly because I want to keep an eye on the landscape.
I'm a software engineer with a PhD in international criminal law. I am on the lookout for (open source?) projects that are useful to human rights researchers/activists/defenders. I am hoping to contribute as a volunteer software engineer.
If you know of a project like this, please get in touch. If you don't, please boost if you'd like!

Got a very un-fun call last night from the local PD, telling me that someone broke a window at our tea & spice shop. 😨
We have insurance of course, but we're still going to be out the $500 deductible, which really sucks considering I'm still unemployed, unemployment benefits have run out, & the shop isn't profitable. 😩

While Democrats are cheering the #TrumpVerdict, #Republicans and #FoxNews are filling the heads of millions with lies designed to convince them that Democrats are destroying democracy and the rule of law. It's hard to believe that all of those millions will stay nonviolent. So what exactly is our plan?

Australia could be foreshadowing what we will be seeing in the northern hemisphere but our governments have decided to just let it rip pretending that the pandemic is over.
