Many people who've lost a loved one talk to them in their heads or out loud. Wind phones are a way of channeling that — often old-fashioned rotary telephones, installed in public spaces, where you can say all the things you want to say to the people you're grieving. Here's a story from Fodor's Travel explaining the idea's origins in Japan, and how it's become a worldwide movement. “Most of them are at beautiful places where they’re quiet, private, and in nature, which I think is important," says Amy Dawson, whose daughter died in 2020. "It allows us to surrender to our grief and express what we need to express.”

OUCH!

Apple’s 3-day loss in market cap swells to almost $640 billion

cnbc.com/2025/04/07/apples-3-d

While the stock market broadly fared better on Monday than in the prior two trading days, Apple

got hammered once again, losing 3.7%, as concerns mounted that the company will take a major hit from President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

The sell-off brings Apple’s three-day rout to 19%, a downdraft that has wiped out $638 billion in market cap.

Australia is in an extinction crisis – why isn’t it an issue at this election?

"Over the past decade, more than 550 Australian species have been either newly recognised as at risk of extinction or moved a step closer to being erased from the planet."

"Analysis shows 1,964,200 hectares of koala habitat was cleared between 2012 and 2021 – 81% of that in Queensland."

"Australia tops global rankings for mammal extinction – at least 33 species have died out since European invasion and colonisation – and is number two behind Indonesia for loss of biodiversity. The challenge is not only to stop the loss of habitat but to restore the environment in places it has been lost in 250 years of European-driven clearing."

Human-made ecosystems: Ecological novelty is now the "new normal" for our planet

"30-40% of the world's terrestrial ecosystems have already transformed into novel states."

"O'ahu as an "amazing crystal ball" that offers a glimpse of the future of our planet if humans continue to damage environments and drive species to extinction."

"Hawaii's O'ahu's lowland forests are now almost entirely devoid of the plants and animals that grew here for millions of years before the arrival of humans. Settlers brought extinctions by cutting down trees to make farms and introducing voracious predators and disease-carrying animals. Today, these tropical forests are a tapestry of non-native species introduced from every corner of the planet: Brazilian peppertree, Indonesian cinnamon and roseleaf bramble from the Himalayas and Australia. Most of the animals, including all the birds that Tarwater mentioned earlier, are also alien."

"We like to think of O'ahu as the cautionary tale for all the other Pacific Islands and the Hawaiian Islands. It's what you don't want to have happen – Corey Tarwater"
