What surprises me:
We spend endless amounts of time debating the consequences of climate change.
Yet somehow we behave as if climate change itself is already a settled chapter, something previous generations caused, leaving us only to cope with the aftermath.
The reality is that we’re only at the beginning of the impacts. What’s coming will be far worse than what we’ve seen so far.
And much of it is still preventable, if we finally decide to act.
Instead, we’ve developed this remarkable ability to file each new disaster under “unfortunate, but inevitable” and then carry on marching cheerfully toward the cliff.

It may just be a coincidence but every business or organisation I call these days is "dealing with a large number of calls at present". It's almost as if they don't have enough staff. 🙄

https://www.booksns.com/219795/ Suggest me a book to help me cope with separation #SuggestMeABook I am going through a separation and am becoming a single parent. I want a fictional book that is inspiring and may help me process my grief. It doesn’t necessarily need to be about someone going through the same thing as me but a story of overcoming transition, finding oneself, or motherhood would be awesome.

One of the ways I'm processing the experience is trying to make sure other people are more prepared than I was.
Here are three things you can do if someone you know is having the worst time of their life:

Capital One Financial hits back against a lawsuit over its decision to close the Trump Organization's bank accounts years ago with a disclosure that marks the first time a bank has formally tied money laundering concerns to the US president's family business. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/capital-one-says-it-closed-trump-organizations-accounts-after-anti-money-2026-08-01/
Wait, you saying a guy convicted of 34 counts of fraud _also_ laundered money? 🤦♂️
Next you’ll tell me he’s mixed up in a massive human trafficking and sexual exploitation of minors ring, started a major war with no clue how to end it and once recommended injecting bleach to cure a virus.
