U.S. top court rejects Trump administration bid to halt climate trial
”U.S. Supreme Court on Friday rejected a bid by Trump’s administration to block a trial in a lawsuit filed by young activists who have accused the U.S. government of ignoring the perils of climate change.”
We are all responsible. All of us.
That is so cool … Pratchet lives on.

my thanks to @gapingvoid for the quote and the image. As usual - so very spot on.
Here’s an idea - don’t vote … be isolated and uninvolved in what is happening around you … and then at least you too can say - without any doubt:
“I am a microcosm of America.”
#swingleft #vote #choose
Can You Help … that’s what I’m doing close to full time until Tuesday night.
Thinking about that usb c change on ipads and impact on iOS devices in (say) 2 yrs.
You have a phone. When you need ‘pc mode’, slide it into a “screen/keyboard/mouse/trackpad ’station’ “ and away you go.
The stations are low cost. ‘Joe Public’ only needs one device.
Thoughts?
React.js deemed too complex and not in the ‘spirit of Wordpress’. But there is ClassicPress, an alternative to WordPress without Gutenberg & React.js
WP 5 with Gutenberg will be available this month. What do you think? Storm in a tea cup or a major fork in the road?
Today’s Questions …
1] How many people use a digital calendar … be it google, outlook, fantastical, busycal, mac calendar …?
2] Of those people how many people set up or accept meetings with other people in their calendar?
3] And of those people, how many actually ‘accept or reject’ said meetings … so that an organizer can actually have a view of who is likely to be on the call.
Today’s Observations Emerging From Today’s Questions:
1] Most
2] About 40%
3] About 15%
In other words - invite 20 people to a call … watch all 20 debate around agenda, timing and objectives through email (without anyone going to the calendar)
Expect about 8 of them to accept or reject the meeting time.
All 8 will never have an idea whether the other 12 ‘intend to attend’ and in fact on the day the call will often have an email apology or two from people that even said they would attend - they just don’t update the calendar.
I ask because this is surely one of the simplest things to do … and yet still does not happen.
Trump comment, chipmakers power Wall Street’s third day of gains … they know he lies … right?
The mayor of Taipei released a rap video
… all good … but the click through reveals a number of Western Politicians trying it on … a world I never knew existed … thank goodness.

We live in artistically thriving times.
Can beer be saved from climate change?
”Most of the crops that go into making beer will not survive extreme weather caused by global warming.”
At least 1 Justice will sit up and listen to that case making its way towards the Supreme Court. Now what will trigger the other 8?
I know it is not Christmas - but I hold to my ‘unalienable right’ to say
“bah humbug to Halloween and Pumpkins.”
The FAANG stocks are flirting with their best day in almost 3 years (FB, APPL, AMZN, NFLX, GOOG)
… aren’t they FAAAN stocks?
Google wants to improve your smart home with iRobot’s room maps
I need to dig out my old post … but wasn’t this tried once before … and thrown out?
Three Hours Later
I knew I’d read about this iRobot mapping your house idea before .. 15 months ago to be precise
And, as a result of all those shenanigans, 12 months ago iRobot was very clear :
iRobot’s CEO says the company never planned to sell Roomba home mapping data
So I guess now they are just giving their data to Google?
Remember when Scottish workers stood up to a brutal dictatorship?
So much goes on in the world that we don’t know.
Googlers forcing Google out of military contracts are essentially using this play book.
