Reasons the plastics treaty failed with recos for next time. "As demand for fossil fuels in energy declines, many oil-producing nations see plastics as a future growth market to sustain their petrochemical sectors, making any treaty obligations that address plastic production a geoeconomic threat."

This is Minneapolis: We’re out to breakfast @ our favorite restaurant, now called Post-Modern Times. They’ve moved to free/donation based so taxes aren’t going to the fed govt during this occupation. Another customer leaves & says goodbye to their friends, “te amo, te amo, chingra la migra!”

I've wondered lately why I've evolved to not look for athletes to speak up. The W always will. A few more will. But if you're waiting for a celebrity to speak up to make you feel good, ask yourself why? I don't need it. I'll take it. But I can speak for me and the streets are talking just fine

Current Huntington, New York conditions: 15° F / -9° C with heavy snow, winds gusting up to 26 MPH/40 KMH. Dress for wind and warmth. Heavy gloves needed, especially when handling shovels and snow equipment with metal handles. My hands went numb even with "winter" gloves. 1

A foggy snow enveloped Long Island earlier today. This evening snow restarted after pausing most of the afternoon. This photo taken in Lloyd Harbor, New York. Don't drive if you don't have to. The air temperature is warm enough for a wet snow and cold enough to pack ice down on the roads.
