For whom is the workplace ruined, Ross? The men who want to put up nudie calendars in the break room, but can't because we refuse to accommodate "masculine vices" (an actual example cited by one of his guests!)??
I wonder how all the women reporters and editors at the Times feel about this headline.

Searching for the "resolve" in this message from Harvard's president. They're picking off universities one by one. Put up some roadblocks for cripes sake, don't clear the path to the rest of us.

Kids have the most pure sense of justice. We all need to channel our righteous HS selves now.
I had my HS juniors list methods of resistance and had them think about when they don't want to, say, do the dishes.
They came up with plenty of methods, with the first three being: Refuse. Delay. Ignore. Organize a protest.***
***This is a passive-aggressive note to Congressional Dems, obvs

Wish we weren't reliant on and beholden to billionaires to pay our UN dues. Where else will we need billionaire $? Basic research, infrastructure? That's what government is for.
@mcuban.bsky.social had asked what he could do in the era of the convicted felon Donald Trump. Here's an example.
"Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's philanthropy and other U.S. funders said on Thursday they will cover U.S. financial obligations to the UN climate framework…"

Bloomberg philanthropy to cover U.S. climate dues after Paris withdrawal
Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's philanthropy and other U.S. funders said on Thursday they will cover U.S. financial obligations to the UN climate framework after President Donald Trump called for the U.S. to withdraw - for a second time - from the Paris climate agreement.

We bought the first Honda Prologue in Vermont, way back in May. Choice was based on brand loyalty (and Apple CarPlay, tbh). Our CRV hybrid lease was ending and we wanted an EV. Seeing more and more Prologues on the road in Vermont!
Honda is selling a lot of Prologue EVs.
In fact, more in November than Volvo sold EX40s and C40s in the first 11 months of this year.

This! I wrote the climate action plan for my grocery co-op and I'm constantly debunking the "more local food will reduce our carbon emissions" misconception among our members. Many important co-benefits, but not a climate win.
Local food isn't better for the climate.
Lots of other good things! Local economies, community touchstones, place to connect with people who grow food
But not a climate win.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
Food systems are the #2 contributor to climate change, the #1 driver of deforestation, the #1 driver of biodiversity loss on land, and the #1 user of freshwater.
(It follows that food systems contain many solutions to these problems.)
