@ChrisMartzWX @TeeenTaal @LauraJoy70 @nytimes In practical terms, the problem is there is no such magical carbon switch. So it's going to take time to bring global emissions to zero, for societal reasons. But the primary impediment is *not* the (literal or figurative) inertia of the physical climate system--it's politics.

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

@TeeenTaal @LauraJoy70 @nytimes The claim that warming "cannot be stopped" is very misleading, and will be widely misinterpreted. It *can* absolutely be stopped. Whether we will, collectively, choose to stop it over next 30 years is a different question--but it is neither a physical nor societal impossibility.

@AndrewSweet Us too! Tho Oakland is hotter. It’s even more wild that you had to

@Primarydotcom I was so pleasantly surprised with your more sustainable packaging. It makes a huge difference. Thank you.

@tasty Ok

@intothecast Me?..... Cool.

@kimchiqueso @intothecast I just finished the game and needed some closure. The game’s under the radar status meant I couldn’t get a bunch of fun tweet comments or fan art. So when I found this it was just what I needed. Glad I found you @intothecast!

In a city filled with 80/20 thinking and maximizing effective use of time, librarians are the ones who will go the extra mile for *every* person.

They have saved SF during COVID by working the food bank, hotels and as contact tracers.

So lucky to be able to support them

I am by no means a patriotic person, but seeing the pledge of allegiance signed in ASL by the person also speaking it, and not just by an interpreter... that sent a signal from the Biden Administration.

@gvitt @ral1 @USPS @FedEx @UPS @DHLUS @amazon @Verlana I should get slim Jims. My nut free granola bars are not popular.

@nonmayorpete @thelindazhang I think spikes are celebrated, but having general well rounded strengths behind a spike makes you pretty powerful. I have seen very spiky people not go as high as they could because their troughs were so intensely obvious

EXPLAINER: Why is the sky orange this AM in the Bay Area? 🔶

You'll have guessed it was #wildfire smoke. The bulk of it, says @ggweather, is coming from the north, via light NW winds aloft. Some of that smoke is coming from way up in #Oregon.

But why so ORANGE?

@AndrewSweet I have a pretty nice dishwasher (I chose it on purpose), and I ran it every single day to sterilize bottles on the top rack and I did not care how many dishes were in it. Do what you gotta do in baby times

[Chau Tong @chautong]

Hey @GoodEggs , I’ve had two orders from you with multiple missing items, one from a month ago and one from two weeks ago, with no response from your customer team. I get that it’s crazy, but it’s starting to be too much for me to trust ordering from you again

[Chau Tong @chautong]

@alma Hahahaha noooooo

[Chau Tong @chautong]

Just got a mixed up book shipment meant for someone else (box has my address, inside is an invoice for someone else). It’s perfect for me. I don’t like mysteries and I hate lemon flavored desserts
