Every time I donate to a political party, candidate or cause I get inundated with spam, begging me for more money. It feels very much like you consider me just another sucker. Knock it off. Find a better way. I want to donate, but until you come to grips with this, I’m done.

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽

"Bonobos [one of our closest relatives] refuse to participate when faced with unequal rewards."
The vast majority of people similarly want fairness between us, but almost always end up with leaders who don't.
That mismatch is the single biggest barrier to a better world.

Floodplain rivers are among the most valuable ecosystems, write Christina McCabe & @jdtonkin.bsky.social - we should let them roam free to better manage flood risk, support biodiversity, improve water quality and store carbon. Research published in @naturewaterjnl.bsky.social
Restraining rivers through stop banks and channels transfers and heightens flood risks downstream. Allowing them to roam free limits flooding and delivers other ecological benefits.

Because floodplains and water don’t provide tax shelters for the rich.
Last year I wrote about the restoration of the Colorado River's headwaters in Rocky Mountain NP, with huge benefits for water quality, fire mitigation, bird habitat, etc. Just learned that the project's funding is frozen & key personnel on leave. Another casualty.
