100 years of June sea surface temperature anomalies updated through 2025. Note the long-term warming (climate change) and other patterns of variability (e.g., El Niño/La Niña). Our oceans are accumulating a lot of excess heat!

Ooph, Denver, we gotta do something about RTD
The Seattle area runs 14% less bus service today than it did in 2019. The region grew by 3% in that time. We’ve got to get back to running more frequent transit.
That’s going to take more investment from the City, State, & County. Great research from @urbaninstitute.bsky.social & @yonahfreemark.com

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Across the last 48 hours, “Signalgate” has morphed from one scandal into what I think is best thought of as five distinct overlapping scandals, as well as providing some fascinating political insight into who has power and how decisions get made in Trump II. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-five-s...

This is an authoritarian takeover of the US government.
The battle is not in the courts.
The courts are a tool. But the real battle is for public opinion.
And science and medical research can and should be at the front lines of that battle. People care about the takeover harming cancer research.

Many of the agencies that Elon Musk’s Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE) is dismantling had investigations or regulatory battles with Musk’s companies.
This is a massive conflict of interest, and exactly why an unelected billionaire should not be in charge.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.
