The national parks are probably the most magical thing about the USA. And Yosemite is special all by itself.
“I’ve never seen anything like this in my 55 years,” says Beth Pratt, a regional executive director for the National Wildlife Federation, who lives near Yosemite and is working on a book called “Yosemite Wildlife.” “Just to want to gut the Park Service? I don’t understand it.”
'Honestly terrifying': Yosemite National Park is in chaos
The Trump administration is derailing decades of conservation efforts in California's most loved park.

The US government has been turned over to a group of extraordinarily ignorant people, and they are working to destroy science in this country. Cutting over half the NSF budget would save < 0.1% of the federal budget, but do incalculable harm. Simply heartbreaking.

Musk and his rats have nothing whatever to do with rooting out “waste and fraud.” Their real purpose is to usurp Congress’s authority over spending, under Article I Section 8 of the Constitution. Some thoughts...
Musk’s rats
They’re burrowing into every data system in the federal government, although many wouldn’t pass a security test

Stuff like this is going to test the limits of the reality-distortion field.Just making things up can’t be a strategy forever.
For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost.

Ugh. This is probably illegal, but there's going to be so much of it I'm not sure it can be stamped out. After listening for sixty seconds I am mostly creeped out by the weird inappropriate laughter.
AI ate my book and made it into a podcast with two unnamed hosts who are just... uncanny valley. I think the prompt was "read this book aloud, but make it a conversation between a man and a woman." I hate this, and haven't found anything I can do about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_Bc....
