Every republic walks a line—liberty for the vulnerable or power for the mighty. NPR, PBS, and WCPE keep me steady. Gardening grounds me; naps keep me honest. FWIW, I've risen to my level of incompetence. Proceed with caution.

I have a new estimate:
Earth's albedo (reflectivity) has declined about 0.55% since 2000 (CERES data), the so-called "great darkening."
Just to restore the albedo lost since 2000 would require a band of mirrors (92% efficient) circling the earth at the equator about 90km wide.

"These videos are from a few years ago. Although Darling is no longer with us, I keep her memory alive by sharing these moments.
Darling was free to come and go as she pleased. She had her own crow friends, but would often join us on our walks"

What looks like politics now functions as price discovery. That’s the financialization of the American experiment. Markets don’t care about fairness, dignity, or long-term cohesion. They care about liquidity and winners.
