@tilap@CertainTeaa @sarobertsonca interesting take. i consider the place i lived from 8 to 15 to be my home town. those are some of the most formative childhood years. i barely remember the city i was born in.
I'm increasingly convinced that burnout doesn't come from working long hours or weekends. Burnout comes from working on things that drain your energy with people that do the same.
It's fascinating that there are two completely opposite narratives about US vs. Europe.
1. Americans are strong warriors from Mars, Europeans are emasculated weaklings from Venus
2. "How can Europeans live without A/C, painkillers, and having to walk 800m occasionally!??"
2025 is the first year ever that Australia has recorded more pedestrian fatalities than vehicle passenger fatalities. Super-sized vehicles seemingly doing a great job at protecting their occupants at the expense of everyone else. https://t.co/UpZRMhFvQH
As the Liberals roll into a second week of rank political opportunism, it’s worth remembering this:

Scientists December 2025: "the magnitude of climate change is likely underestimated - global warming is probably at the unsurvivable high end of projections"

Another view from yesterday morning's incredible snowfall in #Pittsburgh, this time a snowglobe view of the Clemente Bridge. I liked that the snow had partially recovered the road as well...makes it look a bit more like a snowglobe.
What a morning in #Pittsburgh today. I was downtown for over six hours capturing the snow as it fell on the Steel City, and it might be one of my favorite snowfalls ever. I have so many views to share, but we'll start with one from Mt. Washington, a snowglobe view of the incline.
