The headline is amusing, but this is an interesting article about social trends and consequences. Also, it is good motivation to initiate gatherings of all sizes and kinds.
Americans aren’t partying as much as they used to. This year, we should all resolve to change that, @elcush.bsky.social writes:
Americans Need to Party More

I think this is super intriguing. Repurpose dead mall space as a partial solution to the housing crisis. Similar idea to converting unused office space into urban farms. Find positive future use for vacant structures.

You know it's the day before a major holiday when it's 9:30 a.m. and you're the one turning on the lights in the office kitchen and bathroom. Place is a ghost town today.

In recent years, Danger Season typically ended in October. However, in a troubling sign of worsening climate change, the Northeast is still experiencing fire weather and summer-like temperatures in November. UCS's Juan Declet-Barreto explores this year's #DangerSeason impacts in his blog.

This is one of those headlines I don't want to spoil by reading the article. I'd rather make up my own details on what is talking and what they might be discussing. Warming oceans? The COP conference? US politics? Thanksgiving plans?

We are losing ground and precious time on climate. As always, the most vulnerable will suffer first and the most while the comfortable defend their position in the name of short-term gain.
The COP29 United Nations climate conference is coming to a close in Baku, Azerbaijan, after more than a week of discussions. The talks have been testy, with differences erupting over core questions about who should provide money — and at what scale.
Climate talks reach finance deal blasted as inadequate by developing nations
Negotiators from nearly 200 nations made a nonbinding commitment that wealthy nations would aim to provide $300 billion annually by 2035 to help poorer nations.

Ever spontaneously buy a novel with high expectations only to have them dashed by midway through? And then limp your way to the end, turning pages just to get there? Just finished one of those. An award nominee. In one of my favorite sub genres. Sigh. Grumble, grumble.
On to the next book....

Not sure whether this will be observations, poems, reposts with comments, rants, or what. But glad to abandon that other short format platform and try for a brighter future here.
