I made a list (or 'starter pack') of Land Surface Modelers, because that's the kind of thing one does on #bluesky. Please tell your friends and also (v. important) TELL ME if you want to be added. We need more people here! go.bsky.app/Mw4tJ3t

Me too. I tend to think of GCMs as being without C cycle processes. An ESM doesn’t become a different type of model if it’s driven with emissions or concentrations?

I normally eat mostly feta from the Turkish grocers and that ‘ridder’ cheese which is sortof OK. But I’d forgotten what the Tine cheddar tasted like so I thought I’d give it another go. Wrongly, obvs.

If my job involved operating a near-monopoly over the dairy production of an entire country, I’d like to think that googling ‘how do I make this famously-nice cheese taste nice?’ would be a thing I would get round to sooner rather than later (or indeed, never…)

This is the most chilling thread… How can this be happening in plain sight?
Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA.

Facts that bear repeating.

Just to close the loop here. A cozy club of just the very worst people.
Methane pollution from US oil and gas infrastructure causes more climate change than the entire economies of all but seven nations on earth.

(This is with methane's climate impacts conservatively evaluated over a 100-year time frame. Evaluated over shorter time frames, methane's impacts are worse.)

Surprise! Britain's most popular newspaper fervently believes that ICE are the good guys. By an extraordinary coincidence, the same newspaper supported the Nazis in the 1930s.

I’m really quite surprised at the BBC website today. ‘Here is a video, some people say it does not show what it very obviously shows’ is not how you report this.
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

This is just spectacularly, dizzyingly awful.
And here’s an Omni jet landing in Equatorial Guinea yesterday. This is very likely a third-country removal to a torture prison, the second in a week and the third there overall.

Marco Rubio paid off their dictator using humanitarian funds.
