About 950 years ago, a dingo was buried with care by First Nations people in New South Wales.

A tripling of emissions by 2100 was probably never plausible. But a doubling was. The fact that we're no longer on that path is real progress — not, as some pundits claim, an indictment of climate science.
And we still have a long way to go get emissions to zero and stabilize global temperatures.
It's another Monday. I trust this will help you get your day going a little bit better.

Every time #Signal says that they will pull out of a country if some law is passed, they remind everyone that they are a single point of failure. How many times have you ever heard that email will pull out of a country if some surveillance law is passed?
EDIT: Yes, of course this has the usual flurry of people saying 'Don't like Signal? Use {thing that is worse than Signal and no one who cares about security takes seriously}'. Please just stop. I am using Signal because I have evaluated alternatives and Signal is the least bad. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop criticising it and it doesn't mean I'm going to use something worse.
