@MeghnaWBUR - Imagine the flight delay had already made the guy in the plane miss his flight. In his head he's thinking how insignificant his needs are to this big system. Then he hears you, who can still catch her plane, excusing your way towards him...

@OnPointRadio I guess the question to look at is how are State Owned Enterprises working out for Russians? That's more likely the model we're going for.

@OnPointRadio Facts are only a tiny fraction of history. The study of history is about perspectives. That you can have multiple perspectives is what drives some folks crazy. These folks would rather have a dictated narrative than be told "there's no 1 answer."

@OnPointRadio The problem is that moderate strategists like Kate think middle but speak coastal. That's why they also eat their own.

North Atlantic Right Whale: Having spent last week at the #NARW conference, I see @nytimes was there as well. Glad they mentioned Maine lobstermen and NOAA gag. Problems less covered: "volunteer" low boat speeds, recreational boats/sport fishers nytimes.com/interactive/2024…

#Debate2024 Simple #KamalaHarris answer for connecting her to policies of Biden's presidency: "I'm as different from Biden as Pence was from you."

Fortunately, there's $$ going into cleanup efforts in the case of orphan wells. It helps that they often emit noxious gases that concern local citizens. kneedeeptimes.org/citizen-me… On the other hand, active leaks are a more international story. #methane
Methane is the low-hanging fruit for climate action. 🟢 New EU methane regulations will help scale the use of credible data to #CutMethane across the oil & gas sector. ➡️ IMEO's open, reliable & actionable data is helping unlock mitigation. theconversation.com/methane-…

Is there any hope for the North Atlantic right #Whale ? @SierraClub Even after the tragic whale deaths this year, the animal may be adapting itself into a better place for survival. Just a snapshot in a crazy rollercoaster ride against time: sierraclub.org/sierra/north-…
