The animated hand drawn illustration on the receipts, the conversations about hummingbirds with the hockey team, so many little things in that movie were so great

If you're in need of something good right now, might I suggest this absolutely hilarious documentary about extreme birdwatching. It really is worth two hours of your time. You don't even have to care about birdwatching!

For us it was always lamb sandwiches, kind of French dip style

Our family had a tradition of leg of lamb with roast potatoes. Lambgiving. It rocked.

Instead of going to NYC climate week, I went into the wilderness and refilled my soul cup

Yeah I definitely wanted my personal heatmap! One day maybe I'll fill in all the lines in my city

They got me with the heatmap function. I pay for it just so I can see the full map and find out what roads/trails others think are runnable in any given area. It's useful!

As for politics, I do think that you could skirt the PAC coordination rules by posting routes you've canvassed

Curious to hear more about why those arguments aren't landing well.

I haven't gone to one of these yet but plan to.

Partway through "Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams and the bonkers shit just keeps getting worse. We all knew Facebook was evil but it's even worse than I thought. Makes that picture of Zuck and all the other tech billionaires smiling with Trump seem inevitable

Gripping story well told

Cover of "Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams shown in a screenshot from the Libby app. The subtitle is "a cautionary tale of power, greed, and lost idealism." A shark fin swims in a pool of blue in the cover art

The Climate Changemakers method is excellent - they host drop-in action sessions where you get a quick issue briefing, take action for an hour, then peace out. Highly recommended!

The CRP chapters really know their stuff locally and have some solid wins to their credit. Makes for a powerful combo!

THIS IS BIG! Change happens when people come together to push leaders + demand better. That’s why Climate Reality + Climate Changemakers are uniting to build a stronger movement for climate action. Learn more: www.climaterealityproject.org/climate-chan...

Aww yeah, Riley Brady wins Run Rabbit Run 100, and it wasn't even close. That makes two of my favorites who DNFed Western States crushing their redemption races this summer (David Roche was the other)

Feeling glad and very surprised that some nagging aches and pains went away after switching to a fresh new pair of running shoes. Bummed that the old pair only made it ~300 miles. (exact same model)

Maybe I'm getting old - can't run 'em into the ground the way I used to

I submitted my comment. I talked about the urgent need to build renewables to replace the methane-burning power plants that NYPA currently runs - for the sake of our local air quality as well as the climate.

In 2023, we won the Build Public Renewables Act — a groundbreaking law empowering NYS to speed up the clean energy transition and lower your bills with publicly-owned power.

Today is the deadline to tell the New York Power Authority that we need a plan for 15 GW by 2030. Take urgent action below.

My late senior dog rarely acknowledged the TV (or video calls), but would go on alert when a doorbell rang on screen. She did like to curl up with us on the couch while we watched something, though

This is the ONLY place I send people who ask me where they can "offset" their emissions. And I only tell them about it after I've made them call their NYS Assemblymember! (back when we were trying to pass NY HEAT)

River of Teeth
Taste of Marrow

Both by Sarah Gailey. Hippo-wrangling westerns!

And speaking of westerns, Sea of Rust. Maybe too post-apocalyptic, but it's funny at least.

I would like to choose this attitude too please, thanks. It might actually work!
