During meditation today I was overwhelmed as I found myself touching the intense suffering of *so* many souls, past, present and future. But towards the end this suffering merged with so many other deep feelings into a rich song of love, God's love and compassion. – at Berkeley, CA

Went to a Mary Poppins themed restaurant last night. Super cauliflower cheese but the lobster was atrocious.

It is amazing what a bad guy Tucker is. I mean, he's just rotten to the core.

Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make You Love Me is legitimately one of the saddest things anyone has ever made. I played it for storytelling students last semester and they were like, what're you trying to do to us 😭

Extremely mild Winters will occasionally be breached by periods of extreme cold as Arctic melts - warming has weakened the Jet Stream and Polar Vortex allowing cold air to sweep further South and warm air into Arctic

We are not only seeing high levels of COVID, but we are also seeing surges in several respiratory viruses all at once. Masks work against all airborne viruses. Why are we willfully ignoring valuable lessons of the last two years just to go "back to normal"?

My son's pediatrician just sent this email to his whole practice. I didn't know that pediatric units at many hospitals across the country are at capacity. Did you? Why isn't the press covering this?

I have to say it's disturbing how the party that insists that the election was stolen has so much traction. It doesn't help that our Democratic Party continues to flail at authentically connecting with the working class.

Yes, very much this. Manhattan is what the Bay Area could be. An even better example is Vancouver, which is both high density and beautiful.

Contrast: Manhattan's Upper West Side houses around 200,000 people in 1.9 square miles. And it's not an urban hellhole! In fact, it's pretty genteel, side streets are surprisingly quiet, and the quality of life — if you can afford a residence — is high 1/

Well looky here. Black people are the most YIMBY ethnic group. The fake woke non profit people don’t represent us at all.

Lots to think about here. Hard to look in the mirror sometimes and see privileged, elitist NIMBY instead of true commitment to change that is good for the community and world at large... theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

It can get as low as -40c in Finland during the winter. The trees get covered in so much snow on frost, it ends up looking like a landscape on another planet.
