Canceling subscription to Skedpal; tried to install it on MacOS Big Sur, and when it would not install or open, they told me to open the Terminal and run some code they sent me. Ah, nope! Busted program. No refund. Run!
@coralsncaves I got that call, and had the horror of knowing there would be nothing I could do from afar except throw myself down in front of the universe to beg for a quick recovery and no new infections in the family. Helpless in DC.

@AlecMacGillis Sending our deepest sympathies, to your family, Alec. He had a wonderful mind and such a fund of knowledge, not to mention lively wit and kind heart. I will miss him.

The Iraqi Parliament approves a resolution calling for ending foreign military presence in the country, which includes some 5,000 U.S. troops. The move comes two days after a U.S. airstrike in Baghdad killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. https://t.co/VLIn526VhS
Human costs of wars are always higher than the numbers of deaths imply. See tally of post 9/11 deaths https://t.co/LUnfh9zYIF. Climate change deaths estimated at 250,000 per year: https://t.co/7r39dKq9Sp We are all living in a war zone—there is no escape from our warming planet.
“'Our decisions over the next 10 years will affect the magnitude of climate change for centuries to come,' said @coralsncaves. 'I don’t think it can get more sobering than that.'" https://t.co/DmQDtILwmU
So the graphic shows anomalies of 3 degrees C (converts to 5.5 degrees F) off coast of Alaska. But what you don't see is the up close impact on people---rising food insecurity, destroyed infrastructure, loss... HT @manu_ocean#NewArctic
