Well-coiffed lady rolls down her window in the middle of Arsenal & Grand, to tell the workers "y'all are doing a great job".
Result: some big grins all around.

It's time once again for my annual #treebybike post. This is the 12/19/42 cover of @newyorker.com, so one full year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This would be the first real Christmas alone, or without a family member, for millions in the US. Gas and tire rationing had begun earlier that year.🗃️

Boomers' levels of civic engagement were COASTING. They inherited a healthy democratic system from their parents.
When we think about what level of effort we need to get out of our multiple crises, we need to look not to our parents the Boomers, but to our Grandparents.

Nobel Peace Prize recipient María Corina Machado appeared on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast.
She touted the oil reserves in Venezuela (the largest in the world) and vowed to privatize the oil industry to enable American corporations to exploit and profit from the country’s resources if she gains power.

The 'Ship of Theseus Paradox' has shifted meaning over time. As this continues, eventually it'll mean something completely different - then the 'Ship of Theseus Paradox' will have been subject to the Ship of Theseus Paradox. But we won't be able to talk about it with 'Ship of Theseus Paradox'!

If anyone's on the fence about migrating from Gmail to Proton, my advice is: DO IT! Proton focuses more on the user. I find a sensible feature every week or so. There's a free tier and a good migration tool. What are you waiting for?
