A climate report based on work conducted by scientists in 13 federal agencies is under active review at the White House, and its conclusions about the far-reaching damage already occurring from global warming are at odds with the Trump administration’s views.
The report, known as the Climate Science Special Report, finds it is “extremely likely” that more than half of the rise in temperatures over the past four decades has been caused by human activity — in contrast to Trump Cabinet members’ views that the magnitude of that contribution is uncertain.
Good. Views are subjective, facts are the opposite.

We walk up to an apartment community on the Fox River in St. Charles. The door’s unlocked and we go inside to a small entry way. There’s a telephone system labeled, “ENTRY ACCESS SYSTEM” to our left.
The shiny metal has been throughly scratched. The keyhole, too. I don’t know what could’ve done this kind of damage as the phone receiver is only plastic. Certainly it couldn’t mar the metal plate. I pick up the receiver and place it to my ear. No dial tone.
Ten seconds tick by…
I wish there was more to the story but there’s not.
I couldn’t bring myself to call any of the apartments listed in the directory. I just stood there for a minute with the phone receiver up to my ear. Like an asshole.
See, not all of my stories are good.

Wanna know why I never bake anything from scratch?
Because grocery stores get on my nerves. They sell All Purpose flour starting in thimbles but Bread flour must be bought in 5 lb increments. And dry yeast you ask? Hidden far away from the baking aisle. Probably by the syrup.
Organic seaweed though, they got a display with both salted and unsalted!

i’m gonna comment, but it needs to be compelling, so i’ll be back.
i don’t know how many times i saw Fury Road. The only thing that comes close is Birdman. Birdman is my current all time fave. It’s magic.
Fury Road is close.
and what these movies do for me is good and bad. they spoil me for a lot of what comes next. The Grand Budapest Hotel is another. So was Moonrise Kingdom. 4 of my all time faves came out approx 2 years from each other.
and yes, the music is essential. i’m more than a fan. When I saw Graham Sexton playing that guitar in Fury Road, I knew I’d witnessed history. It’s almost wrong he was called the Doof Warrior. My vernacular says doof is short for Doofus, a dork. The character is not.

I think I have the soundtrack to The Grand Budapest laying around somewhere.
I should get Birdman’s as I was just reading it was composed by a jazz drummer.
