"Trautmann and the team won a grant from the National Science Foundation to research how their sand could help with coastal erosion. They learned that they could use biodegradable sandbags and plant native grasses to build back the marshes."

Louisiana has two problems: an eroding coastline and limited glass recycling. Engineer Franziska Trautmann is solving both by turning bottles into beach sand.

If you're in Minneapolis, I would recommend having Max on in the background. He (and others, like Ryan Hall, Y'all) is generally quicker to report updates than even the National Weather Service.

Jeff Bezos appears to be wearing the wrong waistcoat for his wedding. This is a dinner suit (aka a tuxedo) and thus requires a dress waistcoat, which is cut lower on the body. He's wearing a business vest, which is designed for business suits. Needs a formal waistcoat like the one on the right.

It’s very strange that this article on the staffing issues at Newark Airport doesn’t mention the fact that DOGE fired 400 FAA employees a few months ago, and union officials warned about exactly these kinds of shortages.

the arrest of a judge by ICE and FBI for such bullshit reasons is a Rubicon crossing moment. not the last, but a major one.
This brings the inevitable problem that the sitting judge he just arrested has to go in front of another judge now. What that judge does in response to such a blatant abuse of power will low-key decide the future of the country.

Even established authoritarian regimes consider arresting defiant judges an extreme tactic—a serious escalation usually reserved for after one-party rule is firmly entrenched. Seeing a judge arrested in the US today should alarm everyone who values democratic governance. This cannot be allowed. 🧵
