It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

One of the most insightful things I've heard about QAn*n was @foldablehuman.bsky.social's description of flat earth as "esoteric fictionalism" where the adherents seek to understand the world through a syncretic blend of fictional pop culture texts including sci-fi and fantasy
Did it start after 2013, when Elysium came out? Because if it did, I'm pretty sure they just jacked the idea from that movie

Nothing helped me understand how much energy a car uses like having solar on my roof. On a good day my house generates enough for my house + a comparable house -- or my house + my car going 200 miles.
200 miles in an EV = an entire hot summer day of AC, hot water, dishwasher, dryer, etc.

“The idea of paying a $9 toll each day infuriated her. Yet since the policy was implemented she has changed her mind. A journey which used to take an hour or more can now be as quick as 15m. Polls show more New Yorkers now support the toll than oppose it. A few months ago, it saw staunch opposition”
