Let your weird out! No not that weird!

In 2022, I won the Arizona governorship by 0.7 points
against a candidate who refused to concede and still claims I stole the election.
I’m Katie Hobbs.
I know what election denial looks like up close
– it looked like Kari Lake standing outside my office telling her followers I was a criminal.
Now Andy Biggs wants my job.
Biggs didn’t just question the 2020 results. He voted against certifying them.
He called Arizona state lawmakers to find ways to …

Why Covid-19 will never become endemic
For most of the pandemic Australia has worked to contain the virus through evidence-based public health measures such as border closures, case finding, contact tracing, quarantine, social distancing, vaccines and, at times, lockdown. Sadly, the weaponisation of lockdown as a pointscoring issue and emotional trigger has led to a conflation of lockdown with all other public health measures, most of which do not impinge on freedoms. Denial is a major theme during the pandemic.

Industrial electrification is now a security imperative, finds Oxford analysis. “Industry has now lived through two major fossil fuel shocks in three years. First the 2022 gas crisis and now Hormuz. At some point you have to ask: how many times does the alarm have to go off before we change the system?”

Après un an de présence du Rassemblement national, « les esprits RNisés » de l’Eure
Les quatre députés du RN élus en juin 2022 sur cette terre de droite courent les kermesses et les cérémonies, séduisent les maires ruraux et jouent une partition populiste, malgré une influence minime.

My water bill came in recently, which is kind of appropriate considering all the pond talk.
Since building it, the front yard #pandemicPond very very rarely is topped up on its own from tap water. Generally we keep it full from rain water, the rain barrel, or as part of the general low-flow spray/water system for the yard in the summer. So our water consumption really is dependant on how much garden watering we are doing. I'm not surprised we were high last year as we watered the new green-driveway and young trees.
The #PoolPond might, or might not, be different given the sheer volume *and* surface area (ie. evaporation). We have a 1000L rainwater barrel in the back yard, but that would only be useful for replacing evaporation losses at best in the poolpond.
I'll have to fill it once or twice in the coming weeks and possibly once a year if I do an annual cleaning at the end of the summer. We'll see. This year will also feature a return of vegetation to the back yard, so we'll likely be watering it more than when it is established in a year or two.
The city splits our bill into 3 periods per year, which is a little weird but ok...
Our household consumption has varied quite a bit since the pandemic due to changes in household composition (kids moving to uni etc) or us being more or less active in the garden.
I am happy that we used very little water this winter/spring, the least since 2022. I expect it to spike in the current April-August period as both kids have returned and I'll be doing all this pond stuff. But if I can keep it under 150,000L ($150) on the August bill, I'll be happy.
In the coming years, if I can use less in the Fall, Winter and Spring to "save up" for Summer, that would be nice but minimizing all seasons will always be the goal. That's why more trees are going to happen in the backyard at some point. Shade=Less watering!
In all, I'm happy with the only modest rise in our water consumption over the past few years.

Over the two and a half years
following the 2022 rollout of the 988 national suicide prevention hotline,
the rate of suicides among young people in the United States dropped 11 percent below projections,
decreasing most sharply in states with a higher volume of answered 988 calls, a new study has found.

Youth Suicides Declined After Creation of National Hotline
Suicides among young adults dropped most sharply in states that actively embraced the 988 crisis line, new research has found.
