a couple of irksome words...

Something important from Carl Sagan, even more scary reading, and in the "But someone's making money" department...

I just realized that I tend to grit my teeth whenever anyone uses the word "sustainable" these days. I suspect my bad reaction has a lot to do with the fact that most people using the word sustainable don't actually have a clue about what the word means.

Such is life in 2022.

Another word that puts me in a bad mood is "downsizing" since most folk using the term are not actually downsizing but using it as an excuse to go out and buy a bunch of stuff.

Sorry, but I really needed to get that said.
