This is a great visualization tool for folks to see how their local daily weather relates to climate norms and visualize how that will change under climate scenarios.

In the spirit of sharing positive activities, we run free themed āswapsā at our local farmers market. We divert 80% of what the community donates back into our āhood. 100% free. Clothes, kitchen stuff, kids stuff, diaper drives, etc. It feels small given the scale of the problem. But a start.

Re Trinity-St Paulās by-election: Seems a bit much to describe a 590-vote Tory by-election win with substantially lower voter turnout and a fair bit of FPTP protest votes as a āseismicā or ācrushingā loss. Unexpected? Sure. A message? Absolutely. But come on.

Oh that would be brutal. Practically tied but with a super low turnout it really wouldnāt mean much except a rematch in a year, but it sure *feels* like something. And the media will *$&@! play it up so it will end up being something. (And I say that a j-school grad.)

Look. I care about climate change a lot. I'm close to a single-issue voter on the subject! But we have GOT to stop worrying about what are, in the scheme of things, rounding errors. I hate, hate, hate this kind of personal-responsibility climate stuff, it's deeply counterproductive.
