Nota bene: Bsky is filled with great images but I don't "love" or repost any that don't include alt-text.
It's easy to add alt-text—just click on ALT in the corner before you post—and it takes less time than adding a copyright notice or details about the camera body, lens, and exposure!

You realize floods are as much a political choice as a natural disaster watching basically all of Thailand get inundated as the government moves water around to keep the Bangkok CBD from getting wet

Not sure I want to be flying in a place where the main requirement for an air traffic controller is to be a “true Patriot” with emphasis on an upper-case P.
Now we have Trump blasting air traffic controllers, telling them they hate this country for not showing up without pay.
"I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK... You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record."

When I walk through the poster halls at a conference like AGU or GSA, I am amazed at the work being done by kids these days.
To put it bluntly, I have zero tolerance anymore for faculty complaining about the kids these days, which they've been doing since the current complainers were students themselves, if not much longer.
No, this is not bait to draw all kinds of comments about the students these days, they don't know math, grade inflation, blah blah blah.

That beautiful clean coal we’ve been hearing so much about…
"What we're seeing at the black lung clinics is just really alarming. So truly, if the rule got put in place today, cutting the silica exposure level in half, you already have sick miners. It's going to take a solid 15 to 20 years for us to start to see this taper off."

MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.
My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.

I think this is in a nutshell where the American research university idea went awry. Leaders began envisioning them less as places of thought and more as enterprises.
