“If we can find ways to more realistically represent these processes in the models, then our understanding of what’s going to happen in the future should be more accurate.”

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

"We need regulation of e-bikes!!!" people scream as SUVs and trucks get larger and deadlier and people speed and drive distracted with impunity.
I'm happy to talk about e-bike regulation as long as folks agree that the *most urgent* problem is cars.

Love how much energy we all spend circle jerking over classes of ebikes while car culture runs around with metrics of multiple tons, hundreds of horsepower, and top speeds only limited in triple digits.

What's interesting as the Thanksgiving Holiday arrives? The first @bgc-argo.bsky.social profiling floats begin to emerge from under Antarctic sea ice each year. Float 5905383 is the first @soccomproject.bsky.social float for 2025/26. It has spent 7.9 years operating under ice.

The ocean regulates our climate, nourishes hundreds of millions of people around the world, and produces about half of the oxygen on Earth. 🌊 ✨
So, when you take a deep breath this #NationalRelaxationDay, be sure to thank the ocean. 💙

My @ternbicycles.com GSD may be the best purchase I have ever made in my life. It's hard to overstate how much I enjoy riding it with my kids. We've been able to avoid getting a second car as well, which is a huge financial help. It was my first ebike and I'm convinced everyone should try one.
This is why I wrote down a cost breakdown of my ebike versus a car a year ago - because I was tired of people saying my Tern was expensive 😂
But also I'm so thrilled that brands like Aventon (even with their issues) have long tails under $2k
