Russell Vought is a scourge, not only for federal workers, but for the country, and, indeed, the entire world. Here's a @us.theguardian.com story via @climatedesk.org on how he's now unapologetically killing the "crown jewel" of US climate research.

American folk artist Anna Mary Robertson, better known as Grandma Moses, died #OTD in 1961.
She began painting in earnest at age 78. Her paintings--scenes that embody "a sense of an idyllic bygone America"--graced the covers of TIME & LIFE and are part of many museums' collections. #art #artsky

Those tree hugging hippies in Hungary now lead the world in the share of electricity generated from solar with almost 25% of their electricity coming from solar in 2024.
A remarkable leap from just 7% five years ago.
