"What if every journalist was a climate journalist, and every time they reported or edited a story they were thinking about our urgent global task of getting emissions to zero?"
Insightful text on how media's coverage of the climate crisis needs to change.

Btw, while I was taking some astro pictures yesterday, I was also looking at the sky with my binoculars, and gazed at the Galilean moons of Jupiter. Io, Europe and Ganimedes were visible, Callisto was too close to the planet. Every time I see them I imagine what Galileo must have felt, being the first human to observe them. #astrodon
How manure blew up the Netherlands

I don't just want a bunch of Black instances where Black people are safe. Black instances are great and I love them, but that's only half of the solution. That's like telling Ruby Bridges that she'll be safe as long as she stays in the Black school on the Black side of town.
Instead, I want any new admin that creates a small community like "Bike Atlanta," or "Geologists dot social," to be able to welcome users of all backgrounds without being inundated by racist trolls.
IRS will use AI to hunt down tax-evading millionaires. I guess they don't have an AI big enough to go after the billionaires. https://thehill.com/newsletters/business-economy/4194989-irs-launches-millionaire-crackdown/?utm_source=press.coop

Klient zgłosił brak internetu. Dość skomplikowana instalacja, terminal w najlepszym punkcie, potem kilkadziesiąt metrów skretki do domku. Dotarliśmy już w nocy, więc od razu było widać, że na terminalu nie ma światełek. W okolicy było trochę uszkodzeń po ostatnich burzach, więc założyliśmy najgorsze – spalony przez piorun terminal, lub przerwany kabel. Klient nie zgłosił wcześniej, bo przyjeżdża tylko na weekendy. Technik poszedł z nim do domku, a ja obserwowałem terminal. Po krótkim czasie światełka sie zapaliły, więc krzyczę "Co się stało?" "Proszę nie pytać", krzyknął klient. Odkrzyknałem: "OK, nie będę pytał, ale wtedy faktura będzie dwukrotnie wyższa". "OK!", usłyszałem w odpowiedzi. Technikowi przy kliencie zakazałem informować mnie o przyczynie awarii.
Dziś zabawna sytuacja.
Wysiadam z pociągu ze znajomym, stoimy w korytarzu do wyjścia i nagle otwierają się drzwi od jakiegoś przedziału i pan zwraca się do mnie i pyta:
- O, pani poseł na pewno będzie wiedziała. Ten pociąg zatrzymuje się na Centralnej?
