The underwater seismometer network is so great, as evidenced from yesterday's EQ off-Tohoku.

@rickperlstein.bsky.social Dude, my husband loves your books but he wanted me to pass along that the typographical errors are extremely distracting. If you want someone to proofread your next book please be in touch.

Donald Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves. His politics are not just representative, they are generative. His words seep into people’s souls and slowly corrode whatever potential for human decency ever resided there.
Floridians are taking pictures of themselves next to the sign for their new death camp
As I've said before, giving this concentration camp a cutesy name is reprehensible

Japan has managed a huge accomplishment: fully covering the offshore parts of their subduction zones, which generate massive earthquakes and tsunamis, with more than 200 fiber-connected geophysical stations -- at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Nothing else in the world can compare.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Your reminder that Humboldt Fog cheese, Humboldt County, CA, the Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti),and the Humboldt Current that allows wine grapes to grow in Chile are all named for an 18th C gay scientist whose love letters were all burned and who left his entire estate to his “valet.” 🏳️🌈

Columbia University used to be called King’s College. They renamed it after we had a revolution here because we didn’t want a king.
I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”

This is exactly what they're trying to achieve by destroying government services that benefit the public. A VC-backed startup intervenes to gather data that the National Weather Service was previously collecting, and before we know it, we will be paying them for what was once funded by our taxes.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.
