How wonderful.England’s rivers wont meet standards for good chemical health until 2063 they will contain toxic substances for decades. To think in September 2000 overall health of rivers was at 92% yet in 2022 they are at 14%. It is an absolute disgrace.

Excellent article getting at a phenomenon I’d wondered about, the refusal of some folks to accept the obvious fact that many US cities face a housing shortage and that we need policies to provide a lot more supply in existing urban places. It’s easy to blame new development for higher costs but is totally backward to do so. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/11/us-housing-supply-shortage-crisis-2022/672240/

Cissy Suyat Marshall, wife of the late Thurgood Marshall, has passed at 92. Filipino American from Hawaii, she was an NAACP legal secretary and a key advisor and supporter of Justice Marshall and mother of his two children.

At 4’11” Cissy was often teased by her 6’2” husband: “How’s the weather down there?” Her answer: “Same as up there, I don’t care how tall you are. I can still beat you up—I’ll get on a chair.”
