NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.

The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

A map image from the Flight Radar 24 service shows the flight track of a NOAA P-3 Orion aircraft flying over the Caribbean Sea, where Hurricane Melissa threatens to bring catastrophic rain and flooding to Jamaica and Haiti. Most other aircraft appear to be steering clear of the area.

Double the ad buy. Get that ad running everywhere, all the time. And, the Govt of Canada needs to go to US Court, because not even the conservative Supremes can say tariffing over a TV ad and hurt feelings is about national security.

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing."

Brunswick Street, downtown Halifax – the old painted bike lanes are gone, replaced with a wide, bidirectional protected bikeway that looks not far from completion. 🚲 #BikeHfx

Brunswick Street, a newly repaved urban street in downtown Halifax, next to the Halifax Metro Centre. The western side of the street has a new, bidirectional bikeway separated from the traffic lanes by a low curb. There are several 1970s apartment towers in the background.

A view of the same new bike lane on Brunswick Street but facing the opposite direction. There are some construction workers working on the bike lane near Sackville Street. The sidewalk on the west side of the street is closed for construction.

A view of the old town clock and high-rises of downtown Halifax from Citadel Hill on a sunny, beautiful day.

There are so many people in roles labeled "leadership" but who don't do the work of leadership. It's important to name what the thing is & why when we see it, & to lift up again & again the folks who are truly leading at this time.

And to keep calling out those who aren't rising to this moment.
