Bill Link told me about touring colleges with his brother and their dad, historian Arthur Link, a UNC alum

As they drove away from visiting UNC, Bill's brother asked if they could tour Duke too.

When Encampments Are Cleared, the Harm Spreads Further Than We Think — Urban Affairs Review Across U.S. cities, homeless encampments are being cleared at an accelerating pace. These “sweeps,” “cleanups,” or “abatements” are typically justified in the name of public health, safety, or order. ...

I read this graph slightly differently. The cities that added more moderately priced new/renovated units saw much stronger decreased prices in older/outdated units (i.e., Austin v. Houston).

Save NCAR from being dismantled today! The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

AGU has a Congressional email and call script up on NCAR:

I just got an article back with four reviews - FOUR!!! Are the AEs paying people???

Something to be thankful for!

Utah's largest coal-fired power plant—the Intermountain Power Project, located in the west desert near Delta and serving southern California—stopped burning coal at mid-day on Wednesday, just in time for Thanksgiving. 🔌💡

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

Looks like someone from CMP is working on a draft plan as part of a class project this semester (?) - is that you?

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

This episode was excellent - thank you. Insightful and provocative.

Opinion: Salt Lake is Failing the Homeless - The Chronicle Don’t forget to have compassion for homeless Utahns. We need to remember how Salt Lake's heat severely impacts all of us, including unsheltered people.

Atlanta’s Mayor Dickens declares himself to be in the Newsom wing of Dem Party supporting physical expulsion of homeless folks.

It’s a (not) proud tradition in Atlanta, where homeless folks were put on buses to get them out of town before 96 Olympics.

Sacramento County to use drones to track homeless people on probation The county's probation department said it needs the drones to contact homeless people who are on probation, specifically in hard-to-reach spots like along the American Parkway.

"The drones won't just be eyes in the sky. They will be able to communicate with homeless people. The department said this will prevent officers from exposing themselves to potential risk, such as loose animals, terrain issues and other hazards until they are sure it is safe to move in."

This fascinating new research overturns longstanding assumptions. It finds that lower-income groups are more concerned about the environment and prefer environmental protection over economic growth, compared to higher-income groups. Data from the USA.

Peak austerity brain is thinking the problem with homelessness is that it is insufficiently unpleasant to be homeless to discourage people from picking that as a lifestyle

California city votes to criminalize helping people in homeless camps The policy bans “aiding” or “abetting” a homeless camp. Experts say they’re worried about what that means.
