Scientists create the most detailed groundwater map yet — with big implications for the West

The map estimates how deep groundwater sits beneath the surface with greater accuracy, with detail down to areas about 100 feet across.

Scientists create the most detailed groundwater map yet — with big implications for the West
As much of the Mountain West faces another dry winter, researchers are turning their attention underground to the water many communities rely on but rarely see.

Good News! 28 states have publicly rejected Kennedy’s vaccine schedule.

They choose to follow evidence-based guidance from experts like the American Academy of Pediatrics or the American Academy of Family Physicians.

So, starting early with this periodic reminder this year.

Check your voter registration one month, two weeks, and one week before any election. This includes primaries. (It may not be necessary for caucuses or firehouse primaries).

Check your polling location one week before and again before

Really enjoyed chatting more with @tressiemcphd.bsky.social about how the federal government is weaponizing private data. Privacy has become a life-and-death issue, and I have a plan to rein the government in. Thread:

And I know people are sick of this from me, but they always cheat. Signature irregularities, gerrymandering, you're registered, oops no you're not; inaccessible polling locations, id requirements paired with increased difficulty in getting id, literal Russian bomb scares, Cambridge Analytica...

apparently my new way of selecting specialists also includes "do I have to interact with AI in order to get an appointment"

I am ethically opposed to AI

but also it just really fucking sucks, how have we invented something worse than phone trees??

This would be an excellent graduate thesis in planning. What are the land use planning, zoning, local incentives, local engagement process, environmental review, etc, that facilitate or inhibit this type of use? I'm assuming (and hoping) there is a good related literature about prisons already.
Has anyone created a tracker for the ICE warehouse purchases that have been confirmed?

I know we all understand it on this app but it bears repeating, all day, that the "unrest" in Minnesota and elsewhere is armed federal agents attacking people left and right, and local residents trying to protect their neighbors from said violence.

I have some issues with the wording here but yeah, the main sentiment stands. Don't come to MN right now.

(Local authorities are not saying this about the "city center" and the issue is not "demonstrations sometimes lead to violent clashes with immigration and security authorities")

Apparently an important part of the ongoing work of being a good citizen in the year of 2026 involves stalking warehouse spaces to either chase off data centers or concentration camps. Or the combo data center/concentration camp/ Kentaco Hut I presume is on its way.
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.

We need to quickly convert all the dead malls to laser tag arenas so they don't become concentration camps. Can I plant a flag and claim squatters rights in the husks of Forever21 stores? It's right there, squatters rights FOREVER.
