Do yourselves a favor: Take abundant photos and videos of, for and around people you love. Do it frequently, randomly, deliberately. Do it for the big stuff. Do it for the little stuff. Do it for the stupid stuff. Do it on nights out. Do it on nights in.
You’re so loved, Greg.

Greg didn’t do anything halfway. Writing a story, cooking a meal — he went all out, always. His generosity, sense of humor and enthusiasm were infectious, and they were such a gift. I miss you, Greg, and I’m so grateful to have known you. latimes.com/obituaries/story…

Greg brought so much trust, a lot of his wonderful food, and even more laughter to our friendship. So many people are missing him today, esp. in his beloved journalism community, me among them. RIP to a real one.

As it happens, I was there when the love between Greg and this “moo cow” began. We fairly recklessly adopted him into our apartment. Those were the best of times.

What we learned: Few countries are actively growing their nuclear power capacity, but when you look at China, you see a major exception.

New: Qatar and FIFA have said the upcoming World Cup will be 'carbon-neutral.' But carbon analysts and climate advocates who've looked at the plan say Qatar is relying on creative accounting and dubious carbon credits. apnews.com/article/world-cup…

A mega-interesting stat: "Almost 52% of the planet’s truly permanent surface water occurs in North America, home to less than 5% of the population in 2015."

Also, according to this study, Canada is home to more permanent surface water than any other country and most continents - including Europe and Asia combined 😲

Behavioral biases. Distribution is pretty normal, but 95 always rounds to 100.

Compassionate reporting by my colleagues @peatonrobb and @DaveCollinsAP as Uvalde kids return to school: "Texas brought up a lot of old emotions that I thought I had fully worked through ... the hole in my heart seemed to rip back open."

It's the summer of extreme weather whiplash with places, like Texas, St. Louis, Kentucky, going from drought to deluge. China, Europe, Africa, Death Valley, the list goes on. apne.ws/XEdeICb

Important question: What word can you use in R to say you're "pickling" something like you would in Python? Can I just keep saying "pickle" because it's fun or do I have to say "serialize" instead?

Historic climate legislation is now law. And it is a massive opportunity for state leaders across the country.
Here is a roundup of what IRA could mean for states —especially if they take full advantage and invest boldly in their clean energy economies ⬇️

This seems indicative of how people feel climate change won't impact them directly. I wonder if a higher percentage would say they're concerned about its effects on people broadly.

Americans are less concerned now about how climate change might impact them personally — and about how their personal choices affect the climate — than they were three years ago, according to a June AP-NORC poll shows.

Two years ago, @mkwildeman wrote about a huge failure that ended up killing a man who received a new set of lungs.

Turns out that mistake affected four patients in total, according to new Congressional report. See here:

How can the SEC help fight climate change?
"That’s why the SEC must act now. It can start with enforcement of the rule already on the books. There is strong legal authority and an existing regulatory framework for this approach."
