TIL there are trees called Chinquapins that are closely related to chestnuts, and that the Chinquapin oak is named after Chinquapin trees because its leaves are similar in shape. I had only ever heard of Chinquapin oaks before.

"Gettysburg, wow—I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch. And the statement of Robert E. Lee, who's no longer in favor—did you ever notice it? He's no longer in favor. 'Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.' They were fighting uphill, he said, 'Wow, that was a big mistake,' he lost his great general. 'Never fight uphill, me boys,' but it was too late."

-Donald J. Trump

I appreciate the sense of hope that we can turn this around, however glaciers across the entire world are rapidly shrinking at present, so without immediate and drastic global action, I'm afraid they are all on track to be lost permanently. This will certainly change the water situation around the world, in addition to devastating ecosystems

It was Colorado, and it was purely symbolic. If his DOJ were to take this one to the Supreme Court, and SCOTUS rules in favor of the Trump Admin, then the US Constitution, which is currently only wounded (gravely), would be truly dead.

Both Saharan dust and the overwhelming majority of tropical waves would pass well south of this island, imo

Entertainment is getting worse and you're getting old. The media landscape has fractured, and there are no dominant cultural touchstones anymore. You're looking for media in all the ways you used to, but everything is different now. There is still plenty of amazing long form content on YouTube, and lots of great movies. You have to do more seeking now, though, where before you could just open up YouTube or turn on the TV
