'The DOJ claimed Richman’s emails & text messages show Comey lied about using him as a conduit to convey information to reporters about the investigations. But in an emergency filing on Friday night, Richman argued that the DOJ had obtained his files in violation of his constitutional rights, and that it should not be permitted to use them in any new attempt to re-indict Mr. Comey.'

Everything here is built for one type of weather.
And most of the time it works.
But when it doesn’t, it really doesn’t work.
L.A. has spent over a century advertising its perfect Mediterranean climate.
Now increasingly frequent severe weather events are triggering citywide soul-searching about who deserves protection,
what neighborhoods get resources,
which elected officials are to blame,
and whether the promise of this place still holds.
So…

I am curious about tree migration efforts to get ahead of climate change caused forest dieoffs.
I live towards the southern end of the California coast redwoods. As the climate warms the cool-foggy zone that these trees need will be moving north.
But for trees that take a thousand years to mature, they can't move their range northward at the needed rate.
(I hear that there is a similar issue with sugar maples.)
Anyway, I am wondering if there are planting/propaga…

I'm a chemist. As a grad student I was a TA and a tutor. I taught college chemistry classes.
That's teaching a subject, not communicating about a technical issue (yes, these really are different skills)
And climate change advocacy has highlighted how difficult communicating is.
I wish this proposal had been enacted when I was a student.

Such a bummer when people lie for no reason.
Found out today that a client I previously ended our work with had lied to us about their plans and why they wanted to stop our engagement.
The truth wouldn’t have changed anything for us. We still would have parted ways on good terms and done our best to offboard. In fact, we would have been able to help them more by properly instructing people coming to take over.
So now that the lie came to light, long after the engagement ended, I have a bad taste in my mouth and no longer feel good about how things ended and or them as a past client.
I just wish they told the truth.
