Via The Signal: On Saturday, N. Korea fired off more than 10 ballistic missiles. Kim Yo-Jong, sister of Kim Jong-Un, warned of “terrible consequences” if U.S.-South Korea military exercises continued. Analysts say Pyongyang is watching closely as US strikes devastate Iran—studying what happens when the U.S. decides you’re a problem. Trump is pushing for another summit with Chairman Kim—who recently said the two nations could “get along” if Washington accepted N. Korea’s nuclear status.

Public pressure can move the needle. Let’s make the transition to renewable energy inevitable so that even Trump and the oil lobby can’t save fossil fuels.

Time is running out. Our planet is hitting record temperatures, while coal, oil and gas giants rake in billions, and our energy bills skyrocket. But we finally have a chance to break the cycle. Over 80 countries are joining forces to phase out coal, oil, and gas. This is a historic opportunity to end the fossil fuel era and ensure a transition away from dirty fuels that protects communities, workers and the planet. But to win, we need more world leaders on board. We’re calling on governments …

This past weekend we were in Toronto celebrating our granddaughter's 10th birthday (they grow up so fast...) and while consuming homemade cake we were discussing the recently completed #Olympics. The controversy in the #Curling competition came up and my son-in-law mentioned it was like another Broomgate.
I had forgotten about Broomgate which is understandable because I've watched about 8 minutes of curling in my 6 decades on the planet. Broomgate was a technological leap in the sport of curling that came to the attention of non-curlers, 99.9% of the world's population, during the 2015–16 season. New brush head technologies from a new company caused an uproar as sweepers gained far more control over a sliding chunk of granite. Traditionalists cried foul, or whatever they yell after tossing their stones. It resulted in a World Curling Federation summit to regulate and standardize brushes in the sport.
