You can do this right now:

Think of a person who wrote a paper you love, whose work influenced or helped you, or has made your professional life better.

Search up their email address. Shoot them a quick email of thanks. It means so, so much. This is a rough time of year, share some joy.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

I talked to @heyjohnryan.bsky.social at KUOW about adapting to increasingly strong atmospheric rivers, and that reducing risk ultimately requires tackling GHG emissions.

"If we don't do that, atmospheric rivers are going to keep growing stronger...It's going to overwhelm our ability to respond.”

This presidential “pardon,” as it’s for a state crime, is the equivalent of digital toilet paper, only flimsier and serving a less useful purpose.

Beautiful drone video of

St John’s Battery, Newfoundland

Known as Jellybean Row, the houses were painted bright colours so the sailors could use them as landmarks in thick fog as well as allowing them to pick out their homes from the sea

…plus it looks so cheerful!

🚨BOMBSHELL: Federal judges caught the U.S. government lying in over 35 court cases; falsified records, fake declarations, and sworn statements built on fiction.

This isn't clerical error. It's institutional deceit.
