If you are in the US and you would like to send a message to your elected representative about the proposed dissolution of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, @agu.org makes it easy with a template here: agu.quorum.us/campaign/151... #AGU25
Save NCAR from being dismantled today!
The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

According to the Gun Violence Archive, the Brown University shooting brings the number of mass shootings to 389 in the US for this year.

Land of the free, right, where you're no more than 2 minutes from a shooting.

"No way to prevent this," says the only nation where this regularly happens.

I fly into DCA enough that I'd met one of the flight attendants killed in that crash. I was even supposed to be on a flight that landed 2 planes (<10 min) before that tragic collision. (My meeting that day had been cancelled because of government dysfunction). SMH
This part of the national defense reauthorization bill passed by the House should be getting more attention because the tragic accident literally just happened and apparently they’re happy for it to happen again

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.

We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.

X’s New Feature Reveals Why Trust & Safety Work Was Never About The ‘Censorship Industrial Complex’
For the last few years, Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, and their allies have spent considerable energy attacking both academic researchers studying disinformation and the trust &amp; safety teams at social media platforms working to identify and remove coordinated inauthentic behavior—particularly foreign influence operations. They've insisted that any attempt to study and limit such operations is actually just "censorship" with various forms of cover, whether academic or operational.

This morning's ride had dry/slippery trail conditions on an absolutely beautiful day. Really enjoyed the ride then on the last 1/2 mile I was riding too fast and took a spill. The hardest of the year. Didn't hit my head, but was dizzy and took 10 minutes to get back on the bike. Doh!
