Good advertising for Nike, I hope they're OK with being associated with this. And if not, they should say they're not.
ICE just broke a woman’s windows and yanked her out of her car at Park and 34 in Minneapolis. This is after a crowd gathered while ICE raided a home.

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.
Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:
Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

Some men say climate change is “overblown.” Turns out it’s less about the data and more about not wanting to look feminine.
Fragile masculinity = climate denial.

Some men may downplay climate change risks to avoid appearing feminine
A new study finds that men who are anxious about their masculinity are less likely to care about climate change. They may view environmental concern as a feminine trait that threatens their image.

The Irish tír has a similar form to the French terre which is derived from the Latin terra. These probably originated in a Proto-Indo-European word meaning “dry”. The Irish adjective tirim means “dry”…
The Irish name for wolf is 'mac tíre' or 'son of the land'. The root words 'mac' & 'tír' are ancient and go back to Proto-Celtic or Proto-Indo-European.
If you teach your kid 'mac tíre', they will be using words that reach back to prehistory!

I love the story because it is absolutely peak engineer, 10/10 no notes.
But it is also so ironic and sad that the measurements they take are literally changing on some peaks due to climate change melting the ice caps – and thankfully, that is clearly pointed out in this article!

I heard the Covid’s Wake authors speak at Johns Hopkins, and was genuinely amazed at how much of an alternate reality they were living in and what a poor grasp of scientific concepts they had (yes I am giving them the benefit of the doubt that it wasn’t totally disingenuous from start to finish.)
This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.
Congratulations to Stephen Macedo & Frances Lee, whose book In Covid's Wake has been recognized as:
⭐ A @newyorker.com Best Book of the Year

Cripes. This houses the 91-cm refractor, nearly 140 years old. I hope the damage to the dome and telescope isn't as severe as it looks.
Powerful Christmas Day winds gusting up to 114 mph severely damaged UC Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton, forcing the nearly 140-year-old facility to close while officials headquartered at UC Santa Cruz assess structural damage and begin repairs expected to take months.
