Ooh la la! Thanks for the tip!

High winds coming overnight into Thursday.

Eversource delivers a robocall at dinner about being prepared, charge devices, download the app.

Looks like heavy weather. Barometric pressure bearing down.

This feels like a pattern.
Had a fun plan for the day, dashed. I’m laughing at it, now.

And They Called Her California ~ Ray LaMontagne

California
You run so far away
California
This time, you're gonna stay

I interviewed Paulina Borsook, who warned of tech culture's toxic underbelly over 30 years ago.

She wrote a prescient and scathing book, "Cyberselfish."

It tanked her career, but a new generation is discovering her work as tech fascism tries to kill democracy 👇

(By Paul Carrack)

Tell me where
Would I be now without you
Without an angel
Watching out for me

Took a long, long time
For me to realize
All my faith in you
Was so justified

Tell me where
Would I be without you

Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven,” Read by Christopher Walken, Christopher Lee & Vincent Price Of the many readings and adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic moody-broody poem “The Raven,” none is more fun than The Simpsons’, in which Lisa Simpson’s intro transitions into the reading voice of James Earl Jones and the slapstick interjections of Homer as Poe’s avatar and Bart as the titular bird.

But my whole clock’s run down; my heart the all-controlling weight, I have no key to lift again.

Lately there are houses that are attempting full electrification but the load is not there so they must upgrade it for their plans to work. None of the infrastructure is in place to handle this. Doing it piecemeal seems wasteful.

Same in the Boston area of the US. Tear down a solidly built home where a returning WWII veteran raised a family because it is too small. Developers then build enormous houses which are more efficient? 3 car garages became standard. Or they jam a bunch of luxury condos in, because they can.

Fascinating. I listened to his talk online and it was very interesting.

I thought we were already in a recession. Millions of people not able to put food on table? I’ve been trying to cut spending myself, so millions of people, cutting spending, also leads to, ✅ recession.

Extreme wealth inequality is killing planet Earth, and hijacking political power so as to be allowed continue.

This is the most important thing to understand right now.

It started out kind of nice here, weather was ok, some bunches of kids, then winds picked up, and compared to other years it seemed quiet. Winds are still howling, I hope it calms down soon. Happy November.

It’s leased to Chipotle now? Lol
