I worked at Harvard when this dude was president. It was ... not great. I did really enjoy telling them they needed to actually evacuate when they carried on with a meeting in the conf rm near my office after an actual fire had triggered the alarms. Smart people can be really dumb.
Really dumb.

The Sun’s sending its love to Earth … cause nothing says love like an X-class flares and series of proton showers! 😅

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

I never considered the carbon emissions from not-interactive webpages. Then I saw this, not-the-Onion, article on how COP's webpages have higher-than-average carbon emissions. Um, what? The science says non-computationally complex pages best for the environment www.eurekalert.org/news-release...
COP webpages emit seven times more carbon than average sites
Websites produced for COP conferences emit up to 10 times more carbon than average internet pages, new research suggests.
