I have a new paper in Nature Climate Change (co-authored with many colleagues and led by Bishwajit Mallick): "Future-making beyond (Im)mobility through tethered resilience".

Future-making beyond (im)mobility through tethered resilience - Nature Climate Change

Adaptation to climate change goes beyond the migration–non-migration divide. Families and communities combine mobility with rootedness, drawing on cultural ties, intergenerational learning, and lived ...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

NGL, the description of this research looks sus as hell.

The use of opaque jargon and omission of any context that would give me a sense what the big picture is makes me not want to follow the link to learn more or participate.

When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured”

The White House just sent a "Don't Panic" email. That'll do it

Don’t Be a Panican. We’re Winning — and We’re Not Slowing Down.

Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, this Administration is smashing through the chaos and destruction left by Democrats and unleashing the most aggressive pursuit of the America First agenda in history. While the Fake News and Radical Left collude to distract, depress, and divide, they’re simply lying to mask the undeniable truth: America is safer, stronger, richer, and more secure than at any point in decades.

Don’t take the bait. New victories pour in daily as President Trump delivers on his promises and rebuilds the foundation for long-term success in the greatest nation on Earth.

Here are a few things to celebrate from just the past few days:

NC always held himself out as a critical thinker, and "Of course I took a convicted child rapist at his word without any effort to learn more" doesn't wash.

She talks about NC's "overly trusting nature," but long before Epstein entered his life, NC was infamous for aggressively telling the public not to trust what the people who escaped Pol Pot's death camps were saying about their experiences.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

$MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.$

after a few payments, Epstein forgave Botstein's debt.

In toto, Botstein connected Epstein with the rare watch seller and Epstein bought the watch and then sold it to Botstein at a deep discount.

Jonathan Magnolia Gilligan @jgilligan.org · 4d

It's more complicated and confusing. Botstein set up a deal for Epstein to buy the watch, but Botstein ended up in possession. Epstein's accountant told Botstein to send Epstein either the watch or the money. Botstein took out a loan from a third party to repay Epstein in installments, but...

The number of trans youth suicides in the UK quadrupled in 2021 following significant restrictions in access to care. The NHS tried to cover this up with a fake report that tried to hide the truth.

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project

A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare
