Brewster Kahle just wants libraries to work the same on the internet as they do in real life. How is that not obvious? How is that controversial? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/13/business/media/internet-archive-emergency-lending-library.html

Challenging thoughts on Jamaican identity, unity, and more on Independence Day

A lively discussion took place on the Independence Day holiday (August 7, 2023) at “Regardless” (The Manley Centre), the former home of National Hero… Challenging thoughts on Jamaican identity, unity, and more on Independence Day

Yeah, it's definitely not an easy decision to make and for someone like me that has no income there are nothing except for tax credits to help offset my investment in getting to net-zero

I'll not tell you how much adding #solar and/or #batteries will increase your building's resale value, but it seems to clearly do that according to multiple sources though so even if moving in a few years you can recoup some of your investment towards a stable climate at least.https://www.ecowatch.com/solar/solar-panels-increase-home-value#Do%20Solar%20Panels%20Make%20Sense%20For%20Your%20Home?

Every few months there is an article in the ABC about some missing infrastructure in the 'growth areas'. They never seem to address that we've knowingly grown populations in areas without infrastructure instead of growing populations in areas where there is already infrastructure.

We're building houses in the middle of nowhere and only later being surprised that these houses also need schools, trains, libraries, shops, cafes , roads and jobs.

We should be growing the areas that already have infrastructure

Is there a #mastodon consensus position on #tesla ? Obviously ev’s are environmentally positive. Personally, I despise #musk and deactivated my #twitter account a few months ago. But for #ev ’s the Tesla was better and cheaper than others we looked at, and was *actually available* … It’s a conundrum. 😞

@Huntn00
Everyone has a price they're willing to pay towards decarbonizing their lives for sure. All I'd like is for everyone to put a value on helping to provide a stable climate for future generations of humans and especially the other innocent species, but it is indeed a personal choice.

Reporters Without Borders issues a statement about the August 11th police raid on the Marion County Record in which the #Kansas newspaper’s devices and reporting materials were confiscated.

@LifeTimeCooking Morning G! Literally the first thing I did on arriving home last night (after squeezing kitteh) was to put my claypot on to soak 🤣. Hopefully tomorrow will be congee day. Will unpack all our stuff today and get cooking with the Indian goodies. Boy have I missed my kitchen!
Also, husband just popped down to our little local Italian deli (the best in CBR I'm told by an Italian friend) and they stock the correct lemon taralli, yay! @MarkAsser

This pay for play is beyond ridiculous.

Here's a link to an interesting #XKCD #comic showing the timeline of #temperature changes on #earth! A very useful resource to share with people who dismiss today's #ClimateChange by saying "the #climate has changed before". https://xkcd.com/1732/

Herrnstein Castle in the municipality of Ruppichteroth (Rhein-Sieg-Kreis) dates back to a simple fortified house built around 1300. In the course of time, it was rebuilt into a castle and received its current appearance in the 19th century.
Since 1436, the estate has been owned by the Lords (later: Counts) of Nesselrode.

At #SundayBrunch:

Me:...and then we saw a peacock!

Bestie: Oh, you met George!

Me: What.

Bestie: George. He lives in the neighborhood now -- by Trader Joe's. The neighborhood news is that he used to live in Emeryville.

Me: Uh huh...

Bestie: But the fireworks on the 4th of July must have freaked him out. Because right after that he showed up here.

Me: What??

Bestie: Oh, yes. So he lives here now, and he roosts in a tree on that street. Around 8 pm every night, he climbs into a tree and all the neighbors watch him.

Me: He just...ascends.

Bestie: [eating her bagel] That's what they do.

It is so weird to be in your 30s and still be staring at sentences to figure out if the conjunction you want is "and" or "but".

You would think this would be straightforward, and/but it happens all the time.

Years ago some little punk thought it was a sick burn to say to me ‘You probably hang out with your friends making PUNS all weekend!’ Why yes, Dino, that’s exactly what I do lol

they keep telling us that we just need to understand the fascists.

the bad news is

we do understand them. Oh yes we do.

Quarterly global solar installations appear to be growing at 50% per annum over the past three years." Also, China's first half 2023 solar build jumped 154% compared to H1 2022! World may add about 390 GW of solar in 2023.

The #ClimateProgress the U.S. has made because enough Americans voted for Biden will be causing our 8% share of this graph to soon increase thankfully too!
