My late-70’s aged MIL recommended this book after her book club read it and spent and unprecedented 2 weeks discussing it. I’m almost done listening to it and it’s SO well considered, thoroughly thought out, funny, deadly serious, and worth your time: Enormous Wings by Laurie Frankel

Nothing she has done has surprised me since I truly realized what she is. We are all Cassandras when it comes to Maura Healey 🫩 insideclimatenews.org/news/2705202...

In 2022, the compressor was having a permit re-evaluated, and Gov. Healey was campaigning for office with climate on her agenda. Did you think that things might change with the compressor?
I love what she's done on the federal level: taking on Exxon and all of that stuff. In terms of the compressor, there was communication, from what I understand, but my overall feeling is this: it's like Charlie Brown and Lucy.
She holds the football out for you, but, ultimately, takes it away. She's the ultimate Lucy with a football.
When she was the attorney general, she was defending the state against us, which was her job, but she didn't have to do that.
Earlier, I asked Shannon Liss-Riordan, when she was running for attorney general, "What do you do when a governor doesn't follow the laws?" And she said something like, "Well, I can't do much about that. But if the governor has

When she was the attorney general, she was defending the state against us, which was her job, but she didn't have to do that.
Earlier, I asked Shannon Liss-Riordan, when she was running for attorney general, "What do you do when a governor doesn't follow the laws?" And she said something like, "Well, I can't do much about that. But if the governor has their agencies make certain decisions, I would refuse to defend it as the attorney general."
Healey didn't even do that when she was the attorney general. So we had high hopes and then had them just slowly crushed into more of a fine powder over the years.

Do you think Gov. Healey will take a tougher stance in regulating the compressor than Baker did?
No, nothing is different at this point.
She's said that she's not looking back at any of Baker's decisions and as soon as I saw that quote from one of her people I thought, "Oh my gosh."
That's a flat out refusal to do anything about any of the egregious decisions that Baker made. So that's what I had to chew on for quite a while, and that was very disheartening.
She keeps saying things like, "I'm watching that," or "We're taking a hard look at that," and I just don't know how hard of a look is being taken. With things getting worse and worse climate wise, we've kind of had it with all the talk and no action.

If you had a chance to speak with Healey, what would you say to her?
I'd just ask her to communicate with us.
If you care about environmental justice, go speak with the environmental justice communities. Collaborate with us and prove us wrong. Prove us wrong that you're going to ignore us.

had to make some slight edits to one of my fave new memes. Flock isn't the only ALPR technology ;-)

A popular 1950s style illustration that shows a mom and two kids waiting behind an opened front door waiting for someone who I guess is their father coming down the walkway to the front door. The mom and two kids are each holding a knife while they wait for the father. I have no idea if this illustration is AI or not. Over the mom there’s a word that says liberals. Over the first kid it says conservatives and over the second kid, it says libertarians. And over the dad, it says ALPR’s and the words “data centers “

This dumb shit NEVER ENDS in the fore river basin Meeting Sept 10 @miriamwasser.bsky.social

Mr. Bottiggi said one concern he has is that he has talked to people wanting to do data centers. He had a potential customer call him and he wanted to build a 100-megawatt data center in Braintree, but he wanted it online in 18 months. Mr. Bottiggi told him that it was impossible because our peak load right now is 80 megawatts and we ild need to build a new substation.
