Thank you..for moonbeams and describing folks that literally brought tears this morning. A needed reminder of good in an unstable world. I so fear what the constant barrage of racism, misogyny and lying is teaching young people who have been exposed to Trump in the spotlight for ten years.

Reading this was an absolute delight. Your creativity with metaphors is special, so immediately impressive.

Despite comments I've read elsewhere, dismantling NCAR isn't as simple as moving various bits and pieces to other locations. At the heart of the NCAR campus in Boulder, Colorado, lies an immense super computer that is used to perform the complex calculations required to model how our climate behaves. As some people seem to think, this isn't some little desktop computer that can just be unplugged, packed into a moving van, carried off to "somewhere else." This computer and its supporting infrastructure occupy an entire floor of the building.

In addition to the super computer, NCAR hosts dozens of research labs, all dedicated to learning and applying as much information as possible about our climate and the weather systems that impact the entire world.

Pay a visit to the NCAR campus to see for yourself. The NCAR Mesa Lab Visitor Center is open to the public and welcomes visitors with hands‑on exhibits, tours, and educational displays.

Here's hoping Marz never lets you pose him in a hat, here's hoping your festive season is a happy one and that goes for all of your supporters, among which I am but one, last but by far the most important, lets hope for a dramatic regime change in the form of either death, destruction or a final nod off. Blessings on you, Christmas wishes from central British Columbia.

It seems crystal clear to me that their end goal IS loss of life. Thinning of the herd.

They appear intent on creating a distopian society consisting of the rich... and those who serve them.

It’s a cluster f*ck , clearly the worst ever, the repercussions of which will haunt us for years. Be sure to remember their names.

The man is incredibly sick…physically, ethically, morally, mentally. There has to be a way to dislodge him and get started rebuilding our country.

I had zero idea where early reference to furniture catalog was going. Made total sense, of course.

The vast numbers of people in power who know the truth about what's in Jeffrey Ep's files don't seem to be shaken by the behavior they are so effectively hiding.

Some Orthodox Christians support Putin in his war against Ukraine, for reasons I've already forgotten, they were so far from the truth.
