OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

Whenever anyone laments the state we’re in, they’re met with a chorus of “but what do we do?” As plenty of good options are available, this response might often be wilful impotence*.

The criminal oligarch class and their greedy minions are basically doing to the United States what they’ve done to many other countries over the years, often in our name.

I live in SoCal but for some reason have read a lot more about how king tides are affecting Florida than I have read about king tides on the west coast. The California King Tides Project on blue sky is helping me rectify that. :). This is from yesterday:
King tide in San Rafael,CA today - that’s the ocean rushing in.

Whoahh! This is Bellevue in Washington. A bomb cyclone is wreaking havoc in the northwest U.S. and Canada, toppling trees and cutting power to hundreds of thousands. One death reported.

For me, the most incredible artefacts from the ancient world are the letters people wrote on clay tablets and sent to one another over thousands of years in Mesopotamia, going back to more than 5,000 years ago.
They contain recognisable humanity, warmth and humour. Here's a thread of my favourites.

Interesting thread on california king tides
For #kingtide I’m sharing a “micro field guide” here to recognizing groundwater-driven flooding in coastal cities. Here we go- first up, a maintenance hole in San Leandro CA, where groundwater creates a tiny fountain at high tide.

So happy to see yellow dot studios posting here now. One of my faves from the old place:
Big Oil, gas, and coal companies are responsible for the extreme weather now ravaging communities around the world on a daily basis.
Yet they are still profiting AND sticking us with the bill.
How can we #makepolluterspay?
