#Upstream
3/3 That’s a signal that someone upstream…wants to keep the audience calm and compliant…while the political class cleans up its own mess.

Refuse to make excuses for people. Believe what your eyes and ears show/tell you.

That upstream service is living in an uptown world again.

It's almost like we need to find a way to capture some of the value created by these projects upstream on land markets (not downstream of the valorization process with development charges) and, maybe, better regulate expropriation compensations

Why are people so convinced that Portland has a uniquely intractable mental health and addiction problem that cannot be all but ameliorated by upstream measures like universal health care, affordable housing, and quality education ~WHILE~ investing in supportive services?

The cascading waters of Sweetwater Creek in Douglas County, Georgia. This shot was taken just upstream of the remains of an old textile mill that provided fabric for Confederate uniforms during the Civil War. Union soldiers destroyed the mill during Sherman's march through Atlanta.

Rivers are such interesting places - here glimpses of life on the Grwyne Fawr, in Wales.
Lovely to see the Otter moving upstream and the great variety of bats which were present.
Looking forward to reading 'Tarka Revisited' by Ian Parsons. He always writes with such great insight & intelligence.

"Patients are increasingly experiencing what’s known as administrative harm – those unintended but very real consequences arising from administrative decisions, made far upstream, that directly influence how doctors practice." #Medsky
Why does your doctor seem so rushed and dismissive? That bedside manner may be the result of the health care system
The current US health care system burdens doctors with heavy patient loads, more administrative work and additional off-hour demands. Doctor-patient interactions suffer as a result.

Classic upstream sounding for a significant lake-effect snow event at Green Bay, WI, this evening. The capping inversion atop the cold air mass is the tropopause.

Haaretz revealed that the State of Israel has signed multimillion-dollar contracts with U.S. firms linked to Trump allies and evangelicals to rebuild support among conservatives. The campaign uses bots, influencers, and re-trains AI systems like ChatGPT and Claude to steer discourse and...

So today on Bluesky, it’s the search feature that doesn’t work. Sigh. Anyone else having this issue?

A 2001 drought cut the flow of the Klamath so much there wasn't enough water to give upstream farmers irrigation water and preserve the salmon, which were listed under the Endangered Species Act. The Bureau of Reclamation stopped irrigation. Protesting farmers formed a bucket brigade to take water.
Bucket Brigade - Anders Tomlinson
A Community Decides to Break a Law. There must be something they can do. The Bucket Brigade Protest on May 7, 2001 began as a bright-blue morning with puffy Simpson-like clouds, unseasonably warm with...

She's not just swimming upstream in this clip, she's actively drowning from the effort 😬
Q: Given you answers about transparency, why are WH officials meeting with Boebert in an effort to get her to not sign the Epstein files petition?

LEAVITT: Doesn't it show transparency that members of the Trump administration are willing to brief members of Congress?

Untreated anxiety is upstream from conservative politics.

Climate change is the greatest driver of health for a child born today and the “Make America Healthy Again” report fails is big ways and small to direct the nations attention to the biggest upstream drivers that could make children healthier. Read my take with Grace Wickerson on why

Meanwhile this is how respiratory aerosols are captured by infectious disease researchers who understand physics.

The Lower Basin states — Arizona, California, and Nevada — have put forth a serious proposal committing to reduce consumption significantly through deep, permanent cuts.

But our upstream neighbors continue clinging to century-old legal positions that ignore today's reality.

I came from the sunny valleys
And sought for the open sea,
For I thought in its gray expanses
My peace would come to me.

I came at last to the ocean
And found it wild and black,
And I cried to the windless valleys,
"Be kind and take me back!"
-- Sara Teasdale

Abundant servers doesn't mean having to run a "full appview." They could have upstream cloud services that are equivalent to clients speaking to app servers, which would take the cost way down.
