Yesterday was tense, and I hope everyone was able to reach friends and family who might be struggling amid our current climate disasters (or other issues of note!).

So, a tardy Tough Times focuses on a slightly "lighter" problem: legacy media's buy-in to PR hype about restarting a nuclear plant for Microsoft.

Watch out for such reporting; it creates a sense of inevitability around unchecked consumption, when we cannot afford further investment in waste.
