Great piece in today's NYTimes on the recent acceleration of global warming (and its impacts), featuring comments from Kate Marvel, Daniel Swain, Cecilia Bitz, and me: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/climate/climate-heat-intensity.html

"As a tech entrepreneur, I’m intimately familiar with the venture-capital model. The vast majority of companies that a VC firm invests in will lose every cent of the investors’ money. But every once in a while there’s a big hit that pays for all of the other investments—and more. The same should be true for Canada: we invest in all of our people, but the vast majority of tax revenues should come from those fortunate enough to accumulate great wealth."

Lake Oswego Corp., owned by wealthy homeowners with properties adjacent to Lake Oswego, recently lost a years-long lawsuit over restricting public access. On the 4th of July, these entitled rich people believe they can deny public access to swimmers and boaters. However, Portland has a different idea and is planning to crash the party. Instead of having a small exclusive event, their actions will create a massive spectacle. Bring fireworks, booze, marijuana and other party favors and your favorite floating device it’s going to be lit. Be sure to share this invitation with everyone you know: https://www.reddit.com/r/Portland/comments/1lkj6rp/lake_corp_cordially_invites_you_to_celebrate_the/ #uspol #oligarchy #publicaccess #publicspaces #pdx
