I needed that. It’s a shame that the states have to act on their own so we get 50 different policies, but I like that states such as New York and California are taking action. One thing that struck me, and I don’t mean this to be topic drift, is …

Beautiful photo essay, Awais. It brought back so many fond memories of Mexico City for me. I never would have imagined a Pakistani would have to make such a tortuous trip to go to Mexico. Wow.

I think human consumption is the hardest to predict. Who could have predicted in 1982 the stunning rise of bottled water and single-use plastics? Of electronic phones in virtually everyone’s pocket, getting replaced often by new ones? That big …

Ugh. I’m not surprised. This feels more like a feud than a national security concern.

That was fascinating, Ben. It feels a lot like what our current administration in the U.S. is trying to do. Having spent a lot of time in the Middle East where it’s embedded deep in the culture to not forget past wrongs, it feels like we may have …

Yes, only attached images show up. Sorry about the confusion.

That dog tease is one of the funniest videos on YouTube. It has 200 million views. ❤️

I’m jealous! You’re so lucky. I saw him on Leno when Leno was young and I thought legend, but so old... Nice to see him on Broadway at 92! https://youtu.be/gg_ebvFAjU4

That sounds amazing. 🙏 I wonder how it works? On a lighter note, in the town where the paratroopers landed, Sainte-Mère-Église, the local hair salon came up with a great name! 😁

Simone (the queen of shitty robots) is funny and she calls this the dumbest or smartest thing she's ever done. She can't tell which. They made a brilliant commercial for Truckla (available...nowhere!): https://youtu.be/R35gWBtLCYg Here's the …

Hahaha, you have to admit that's hilarious! I can see these bags becoming collectors items. At least it draws attention to the plastic bag problem.

What an accomplishment, hitch. Oh my God. Is this one of those things you do once in a lifetime and look back on forever with satisfaction, being able to say "I did that"? I'm afraid that's what it would be for me. I'd like to do it once. I know a …

The New York Times wrote a fascinating piece about Ernie Pyle, who was essentially the Walter Cronkite of WWII and was there for the invasion. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/05/magazine/d-day-normandy-75th-ernie-pyle.html For those who can't see …

Oh my God, Ridge!!! 🤯 Mind blown. I was in France for a week and missed this until now, but I was riveted. What an accomplishment. I can't imagine. I've done a bunch of IronMan events and some 50-mile runs, but nothing like this. The details were …

👆That is amazing reporting!! I don't know how in the age of struggling journalism, quick stories, and a confetti of ads, Australian ABC does such rich, amazing stories. One shocking stat I didn't know: > The fatality rate on Mount Everest stands …

Dude, my jaw was on the floor reading that. It’s incredible how much you know about this. First of all, I didn’t realize San Jose was so big and I live 15 miles away. I also didn’t realize the midwestern teams had such brutal travel schedules. I …

Holy cow. Both reports, from Exxon in 1982 and Shell in 1986, seem to answer @Shewmaker ‘s question about CO2 being the primary cause. And the models turned out to be surprisingly accurate, no?

Fascinating references, lula, especially this one: https://thinkprogress.org/exclusive-elevated-co2-levels-directly-affect-human-cognition-new-harvard-study-shows-2748e7378941/ This I didn't know: They found that, on average, a typical …

Well this is somewhat encouraging: https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/g20-plastic-waste-ocean-pollution-deal-agreement-a8960986.html

My neighbor’s yard today.

Hmm, thanks for sharing how you think about this. It helps me understand when my own framework is so different. My analogy would be more like extinction of species, such as the dinosaurs. I'm pretty sure it happened through natural processes, I'm …

You went longer this time! How do you feel about that? Was it a lot more work? I really liked this one because otters but I think even more I liked having a working photographer show us her favorite spots and explain why she likes them. I'm …

I agree with you. It’s astonishing and, I think, the greatest technical achievement of mankind. It was done before HP invented the calculator. For those who think it was staged, you have to have 410,000 people bought into the idea of keeping that …
