Weather/Climate Radio Infrastructure

Taking a brief moment from my video tutorial studies of Drupal 8 - which I think I may need to rewatch several times each today - to pass this along: apparently Canadian federal penny-pinching is getting too line-item-fussy about weather alert-related infrastructure again? Details here:

If Jon Klein's misunderstood the situation, please pass along corrective information. I'm certain that he'll appreciate the corrections once he confirms their accuracy.

If he's got it right, and you're a Canadian citizen, please contact your federal MP ASAP.

Speaking of Design Training

I've still got some degree of privilege, despite my financial situation this past year. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to look at those video tutorials. Or, for that matter, read and pass this along:

Nor would I be able to look at this (and thanks to kiaa for passing it along via talkpolitics):

Getting to the point: we still want to leave the Time of Pandemic to enter a newer, better "Normal" than we entered it from. Right?
