Normalize virus reports like weather reports. We appreciate weather reports even if they bring us bad news, as they help us plan ahead and avoid accidents.
We need to stop being in denial about airborne viruses spreading. Sharing data helps us prepare and makes our lives easier.
27 minutes into the new year & Canada's 100 highest-paid CEOs have already earned the average worker's annual salary, according to a report from Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) carried on CBC.
CBC then cuts to Fraser Institute dude who says reports like this are "apples & oranges" because they fail to include other forms of average worker employee compensation like flexible hours. 🤣​ #eattherich
By now, you should realize that there is no chance — zero — that global warming will remain comfortably below 1.5°C. It’s not going to happen, even though back in 2015 in Paris, nearly every country in the world agreed to take all necessary actions to achieve that.
So we know 1.5 is dead at this point. But why is it dead?
Take a look at the chart below of 40 leading nations and how each of them have done so far in meeting their climate commitments.
Nobody, not one nation, is on track to do what they promised. All we ever get is more Business As Usual.

I just stopped by the Black Lives Memorial Garden(in exile), only to find police arresting a homeless person. He was accused of assaulting the private security team now guarding the mud pit that was the garden.
Parks Director Andy Schafer personally showed up to demand the removal of a large canopy, an unlit chimnea and supportive artwork about the garden.
Around 15-20 SPD cops came to deliver the message.

Did you know Monopoly was invented by a woman named Elizabeth Magie in 1903?
Originally ‘The Landlord’s Game,’ it was designed as a protest against the big monopolists like Carnegie & Rockefeller.
But it was Charles Darrow, an unemployed salesman, who eventually sold it to Parker Brothers after playing a version.
Parker Brothers credited Monopoly with saving their company. Magie died in 1948 without recognition. Darrow became very wealthy & his legend lives on. #history
