I only have one pair each of those. Soles are best for our rocky beaches.

I could show my winter coats, too. Also numbering 6 at the moment.

That tongue is in motion!

@carlosmoffat I didn’t realize the volume of these till I checked my spam folder, which catches about three every day. I’m only seeing the ones that get through every few days.

@msherr I first ask the student if they meant the check that box. The few times I’ve run into this I’ve found the student misunderstood the intent of the checkbox. Sometimes they are rather naive.

Next “the forest fire was not related to climate change because it was started by a match.”

@RobertMaguire that’s a nice piece of reporting.
EPA now has a serious focus on environmental justice with a mandate to rectify historical wrongs.

Yes!
Funding from all the Multilateral Banks is essential for the global clean energy transition. These institutions were built for the post WWII world; they need to be repurposed for the 21st century.

The World Bank needs to be led by a Climate champion!

Countries are struggling to adapt to climate-driven crises caused by all of us who have benefited from 2 centuries of fossil fuel burning.

And an alternate path where the chemistry conducted by microbes is discovered before high T, high pressure brut force chemistry applied to fossil fuels, and instead leads to low T aqueous syntheses of anything we need made from biology, not lumps of coal.

@sstrader @adrian yes! He’s a brilliant writer, highly original ideas compellingly expressed.
I don’t want to live in a world where we have AI instead of writers like Ted Chiang.

Bergman is one of the 147 seditionist reps.
He constantly invokes his military career and uses military language in an unfortunately successful effort to distract his constituents from the fact that he has done absolutely nothing for them since he was elected.

He follows the gop liars' playbook, but not loudly enough to make national news.

How can his PAC know which foreign contacts to shake down if they don’t have access to intelligence briefings?

True, but also here in rural #michigan I just finished an excellent lunch at a nice, non-chain restaurant for $18, including a generous tip.
(Of course, the eating out options are rather limited.)

@crenquis we have a matching cat. Apricat also enjoys window gazing (and snoozing).
