"Alexander and the Gradual Descent Into a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Existential Crisis"

It's really hard to tell how warm or wind-resistant a glove might be without touching it in person. Shop local if you can and try them on. That said, here's my take on general styles:

If the temps are near or below freezing, I really like ski gloves with a long gauntlet wrist that goes over the cuff of my jacket. That keeps cold air from blowing up my sleeves. See the North Face Montana glove for an example, though there are countless similar gloves out there.

For cool temps I wear nylon shell gloves over fleece gloves. Just like layering clothing, I can wear one, the other, or both depending on the weather. It's hard to find shell gloves, though.

I have never found a softshell glove that I liked. The ones I have owned either don't block enough wind, or tear and fall apart earlier than I would like.

I know we're in the bizarro timeline, but really?

Georgia ain't going to burn itself.

I always took the story as monarchist rather than fascist. Simba's family is the ruling blood line, hence why the throne passes from Simba's father to Scar to Simba. Kings and queens are standard fare in Disney's animated movies. But I suppose fascist versus monarchist is a distinction without a difference here.

some of the embedded ideology is very disturbing. Some authors have argued that the movie implicitly supports fascism

The 1994 version, or the 2019 remake? The original had the "Be Prepared" musical sequence where the hyenas are goose-stepping for Scar, clearing framing them as akin to Nazis parading for Hitler. I have not seen the 2019 version to know what may have changed.

We call them cougars, or mountain lions, or catamounts, but it's all the same cat. Sometimes they nibble on mountain bikers.

Not sure about Lewis and Clark, but I have read that David Thompson did.

George Vancouver recorded beaches strewn with old human bones. Around the same time he wrote journal entries along the lines of, "Wow, look at all this rich, uninhabited land that would be ideal for settlements!" I don't recall Ol' George ever putting two and two together.

Didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

Guns, Germs, and Steel covers that in a brief but eye-opening way. When Hernando de Soto's crew first explored the Mississippi river in 1541 they wrote about all the people they found, but did not mention bison. A century later another set of Spanish explorers revisited the Mississippi and didn't record much at all about people, but commented on how prolific the bison were.

Off the Rez for the win. I hear Spokane has a good place, too.

I wish I had a chance to try ʔálʔal Cafe before it closed last year.
