Incredible.
Thev sound in this video is fascinating. You can hear what I think is background rain and pumice fall. But the roaring... Is that from the eruption or from the PDC? In contrast to that PDC video from the Kraffts where the the current is silent.

Semeru, Indonesia is erupting. Communities are being evacuated.

Incredible footage of pyroclastic density currents in the news.

Exactly this. Sending strength to all our fellow feds, and to everyone else: please bear with us. Let’s see how this goes.

On Shutdown Night 43 I’ve reached my limit for news/doomscrolling while we wait to see if/when we return to work and so instead am watching a competitive British knitting show create dog outfits

This is a fascinating thread
Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.

The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.
highlight of my day!!!! vote @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social vote @workingfamilies.org ❤️❤️❤️

My wife has served her community, educated others about the constitution and federal laws, and promoted our responsibility to care for one another for years. Despite all that and living here for 24 years, due to the broken immigration system, she’s been denied access to voting… until this year!

ALX Skeets: DC resident Geoff is clearly ignoring our own plans to annex Shirlington, weigh in here.
Heading to western Alexandria (Van Dorn Station) in the afternoon. One of the last stations in the system I've never used.

Just curious—when Alexandria and Arlington are rightfully brought back into the fold as part of DC, does western Alexandria convey, or does it revert back to Fairfax County?

That's right.
NEWS: The Trump admin's decision to suspend SNAP benefits due to the shutdown has been blocked. In two cases, both judges found the government action is likely illegal. Although a judge in Mass gave the admin until Monday to reverse course, a judge in Rhode Island issued a TRO from the bench today.
BREAKING: Federal judge rules that the Trump administration likely illegally suspended SNAP benefits, ruling that at least reduced distribution is required to go forward under law using the $6 billion reserve fund.

Judge gives the Trump admin until Monday to respond as to whether it will act.

Do not watch the attached video. But DO click through to an excellent thread on unions, the history of bandanas, solidarity in diversity, menswear/fashion history, and a really good reminder that some of the biggest worker uprisings and workplace gains in protections were at the hands of unions. 💪
JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

In cleaning out photos from Today in History I was struck by how many of these things are still relevant 5 years later, except the Olympics and the Murder Hornets.

And then I discovered this giant monster IN OUR BEDROOM

Furlough Day 17 has me wandering the new Fresh World Market while we ponder never eating out again. As I stand here wondering what image can convey how amazing this place is, SRK reassures me that everything will be ok

How are you spending Furlough Day 10?

I am testing pandebono recipes

My kitchen is full of pandebonos

Furlough Day 7 started with a lovely stroll at Huntley Meadows with some Earth and Ocean Scientists, and now we get free sandos which feel extra kind since now folks are trying not to pay us at the end of this

Ten years ago I married @portcityposter.bsky.social, forcing our friends and family to walk from the Athenaeum to Columbia Firehouse in a hurricane. I was too busy talking to everyone at the reception so he danced with his brother. A pretty good Alexandria party.

Furloughed and packing out. Hang in there, fellow Feds, and sorry to all the researchers: it’s illegal for me to read email until this is over. NSF has a page of information up for you: www.nsf.gov/shutdown/rec...
