Just in case you were thinking,
“To hell with it. Let’s move.”

OK, maybe a temperate rainforest island in the Pacific Ocean?

This is Tofino.
In Canada.

Not too bad. Not too bad at all. Pretty good, actually.

“… democratic systems can indeed help expose and reduce corruption. And there is also a causal impact running the other way: corruption can weaken democratic institutions, for instance by lowering voter turnout.”

Global warming in North Pacific.

The Y axis is standard deviations (SD), related to chance of being observed given historical temperatures.
2 SD: 2.3 times in 100 years
3 SD: 1.3 in 1,000 years
4 SD: 3.2 in 100,000 years
5 SD: 2.9 in 10,000,000 years
6 SD: 1 in 1,000,000,000 years

Now is new.

What jobs is AI currently replacing, at tens of thousands per month?

Entry-level and “white-collar roles seen as vulnerable to AI-driven automation, rather than those on shop or factory floors.”

But in a few years… ?

Now listen, maple trees.
We’ve talked about so-called “Autumn leaves” haven’t we?
I’m very disappointed that you are dropping leaves. Very.
Attitude and choices, right? I expected better.
If this sort of thing continues… well, we will need to have a very frank discussion.
Be better maples.
OK?
OK.

SO disappointed. 😿
TEMU doesn’t seem to sell Trump’s Oval Office gold stick-ons, or any “Epstein Ballroom furniture.”

Maybe I’m not searching right.
