Eddington ends with a dark joke about disability – but its punchline is centuries old ‘Eddington’ follows a centuries-old narrative pattern in which disability is framed as punishment, poetic justice or moral revelation.

It's so dry, there is even a fireban on Minecraft! (According to my 9 year old)

At this point, I am almost hoping for a tropical system to show up... But I know that it might be overwhelming for the dry ground 😔

Why insurers worry the world could soon become uninsurable Günther Thallinger, a board member at Allianz, one of the world's biggest insurers, says the climate crisis could make adaptation economically unviable.

Well, maybe this might wake up politics and society when insurance companies won't insure climate change related risks anymore because they can't afford it

Insurance is one of those things you just can't bullshit or fake, as authoritarians try to do with many other things via control of information.

Losses are losses, and when they're bigger than expected, the firms go broke

We drove from New Glasgow to Middle Musquodoboit yesterday, partially along Stewiacke River and it looked pretty bad, too... The riverbed is half dried out :(

Oh yes, it's the continuation after Melody Dr... The misplanning is killing me!

The lack of pragmatism in the planning baffles me... You could get so much more bang for your buck if you included space for a bike lane or whatever it can be... Instead ,we are rebuilding those old curbs the same way they were done 50 years ago...

I have watched the same thing in the stretch between MSVU and Bayview and it drove me crazy that building a bike lane was not part of the project 🤬🤬🤬 the simplest way for making improvements!

We are not mowing because it also puts additional stress on the plants to trim and cut right now... Rain first so that the plants can get some strength back

Headlines: "Judge Orders Halt to Construction at Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz' Detention..." "Trump Administration's 'Alligator Alcatraz' Suffers Legal Blow" "Judge stops work at Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz.' What are they building there?"

Alligator Alcatraz has been halted because of the Miccosukee Tribe. But look at how it's reported.

Native people constantly fight for not only the land, but human rights -- and their contributions are consistently erased.

And everyone does it. Erasing Native voices is the true American pastime.

We picked up the kids after a week at Big Cove camp, full of bug bites, full of amazing experiences, full of growth (I swear they look older). So thankful they have this opportunity ❤️❤️❤️ and we had a quiet week at home (parental bonus 😉)

... While we are not able to install traffic calming measures until the policy is finalized, other study work including data collection, speed and collision analysis, and proposal of mitigation measures can proceed."

That's from the actual email: "In the meantime, I’ve asked our Traffic group to move forward with a road safety study for Myra Road, with mitigation measures guided by the draft traffic calming policy.... /1

Found it, thank you! Remaining cautiously optimistic that something sometime will happen... :)

Hmmm... The guy who responded to me said it would apply to our road... 🤞

Where can I find this report?

@safehrm.bsky.social @terriclarke.bsky.social @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social do I have reason to be optimistic?

Just got a long awaited response from the province about traffic safety in rural areas. Seems there is a policy development underway to implement traffic calming measures in rural areas. Did anyone hear about this, #HaliSky & is there a public consultation phase for these kinds of policies?

I had no idea about all this, I really enjoyed watching it, and so should you when you have some time (took us four nights to finish it)

And what flabbergasted me is that his father's family hails from Nuremberg (where I was born), a Jewish family that escaped the Nazis. Both his grandfather and his father returned to Europe after the war.. and Billy Joel went on to become the star he is./2

We just finished watching the documentary "And so it goes" about Billy Joel. Five hours long, but fantastic, about his life, his music, his dreams... /1

because they might be financially liable... whereas it seems the HHS secretary can just do as he pleases without consequences... :(

yeah, I love the Northern Lights Festival, but the optics of this... not great and dangerous, despite all the precautions they are taking...

It sucks... at least, you can go to the beach or to a lake and have some fun!

We have solar panels on our roof, brought down our power bill, and to date (since it came online two years ago), it has removed the equivalent of 17.5t of CO2 emissions from the air (app says the equivalent of 956 trees planted). Make it more affordable, Canada, and meet your climate change goals!

Noticed a couple small errors in this, (it could use an update), but overall it’s a pretty good compilation of cycling myth busting that is specific to Nova Scotia, in case you need something succinct to share with your friends and relatives.

Seriously, these people make me want to leave instantly every single time I end up reading a post in those friggin groups.
