old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Is there any greater pleasure than seeing someone who's been driving like a knobhead get flashed by a speed camera because they weren't actually paying attention to the road signs and were too busy tailgating?

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

the answer to a question in a headline is always "no", but never has the answer to a question in a headline been MORE "no" than how much "no" it is here
