The bar for non-peaceful protest is extremely high, one I have never thought to advocate for in the U.S. in my lifetime. I believe we have crept up on that bar, as state sanctioned domestic terrorism has been unleashed in an indirect declaration of civil war by the administration.

I don’t know why anyone is worried about not giving weight to lives in pollution policy, when we’re going to win over protein.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

It was a murder. A murderer decided he wanted to murder someone today and then did. There is no ambiguity or whataboutism; case law is clear that someone not a danger to others that is running away cannot be shot at. You do not have to be prosecutor or lawyer to recognize and understand this.

ICE is now executing people for driving away. Phase 2 is here.

Learning a bit about orbital simulations. I'm using the REBOUND package and get pretty close to the Laskar solution of Earth's eccentricity evolution for the next 1 million years (including the 8 solar system planets and Pluto), but without relativistic effects. 1/2

NCAR is a unique & valuable asset - far more than a climate model, or observations, or technology, or training ground, or gathering space. It covers weather, space weather, data, climate, paleo-climate, and everything in-between. It's building is an icon, but it's iconic status goes far beyond that.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

Indeed, I'd still like to meet a clever climate skeptic.
i know science is currently getting its ass kicked by lies but it also really bothers me that the bullshit is so much more boring than the truth

When you have an interesting planet to look at in the exoplanet catalog but the catalog reversed the mass and radius information of the host star (relative to the original publication) and it’s no longer interesting…
