#law, #climate, #science, #geopolitics, #politics, #democracy, cool stuff &… #BabySquirrel Recovering lawyer. Spending less time on world news since US voters re-elected a rapist/convicted felon, who tried to end democracy, but who Americans decided to give a mulligan, cuz democracy shlemocracy right? Occasionally I’ll come across something that I feel compelled to share, but… …these days… I've stopped my dreaming …these days I sit on corner stones & count the time in quarter tones to ten

#Ghouls
People are making #wildfire bets on #PredictionMarkets. Experts say it could lead to disaster.
When the Eaton fire swept through the LA neighborhood of Altadena last year, it claimed 19 lives & incinerated thousands of buildings—one of which was the home of Kaitlyn Trudeau’s grandfather. His house burned to the ground; he lost everything. But while he grappled with #trauma, others saw dollar signs in the #disaster.
