A Toxic Stew on Cape Cod: Human Waste and Warming Water

Climate change is contributing to electric-green algae blooms. Massachusetts wants a cleanup of the antiquated septic systems feeding the mess, but it could cost billions.

Incredible analysis of demographics of public speakers commenting on proposed trail development in Carrboro by @citybeautiful21. Spoiler: the speakers are wildly unrepresentative of the town’s population. Some amazing fun facts unearthed as well. https://citybeautiful21.com/2022/12/30/carrboros-public-comment-process-at-town-council-is-inequitable-and-must-change/

Most unlikely detail in this heartwarming tale of storm Good Samaritans is that the stranded South Koreans knocked on the door of a white couple near Buffalo who had a rice cooker, kimchi and gochujang in their kitchen https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/25/us/snow-storm-korean-tourists.html
They Traveled From South Korea. They Got Stranded Near Buffalo.

A South Korean tour group’s van became stuck in the snow outside a house in Williamsville, N.Y. They spent the weekend with the homeowners — who luckily had a well-stocked kitchen.

After George Floyd was killed miles from my house, I quit my corporate law job to build @TurnSignl—an app to instantly connect drivers to a lawyer on a video call 24/7. TurnSignal:
✅ Auto records the stop
✅ Is voice activated
✅ Free for low-income folks
