Also, I had no idea?! "Hospitals are notorious for their greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for around 5% of emissions globally."
America's first all-electric hospital is opening soon in Orange County. Super cool. laist.com/news/all-ele...
The first all-electric hospital in the US will soon open in Irvine
It’s part of what the hospital says is a 'healthcare without harm' model.

The Nashville radar is down. But, the good people who serve you every day at the NWS finally received the 130lb palette with the part on it. Their two techs are now lugging that part to the top of the radar tower to try and get the radar operational before SVR arrives. All while not being paid.

Bill Gates doubled down at Caltech on Monday. Seems to think climate scientists and activists care more about abstract measurements than about human suffering, which makes me wonder how many climate scientists and activists he knows. www.latimes.com/environment/...
Bill Gates doesn't regret his controversial climate memo
Bill Gates, in a talk at Caltech on Monday night, defended his stance on shifting funds away from climate change mitigation and toward global human health efforts.

If you're mad about Daylight Saving Time, you could blame Benjamin Franklin, who first suggested the practice in 1784.
His cheeky theory was that if people rose with the summer sun, they wouldn’t have to buy so many candles.

The U.S. gov’s purge of datasets isn’t just sloppy, it’s disempowering democracy. When agencies cancel or gut data collections, they’re silencing the evidence that holds power accountable.

Hey, so as a veteran and incident responder I need to warn you to pay attention to something in America.
The human brain is resilient. While you're watching kids get dragged away from the parents and people being beaten in the streets, you're accumulating trauma but also being desensitized.

this is because a successful bipartisan project of the last 40 years has been obfuscating all of the things the government does
I think very often people do not realize the sheer *scale* of government, particularly the US government.
There are already food banks/depositories in every district & a ton of Democrats have been doing events to support them, but if no one besides a staffer posts about it, no one knows about it.
Even with a massive support, it's not replacing $100 billion in SNAP. We need a functional government!

donating food to your local pantry is GREAT and helpful, but money is best imo because we work with vendors/places who are able to give us bulk food and better prices than the average grocery store. if you're debating between giving a pantry canned goods or $20? definitely $20
