On Instagram about 15 hours ago, Eric Trump accidentally leaked a draft Truth Social post from Trump about the flooding in Washington State that destroyed countless homes.
Trump still hasn’t posted about the flooding, but had time to post about tariffs, attack migrants, and threaten Republicans.

More than 250 people who were exposed to measles, including dozens of unvaccinated school-aged children, are quarantining in South Carolina as the state wrestles to contain an outbreak that has sickened more than 110 people.

Starter Packs are one of my favourite features of @bsky.app. I’ve curated 20+ climate-themed packs on everything from health to comedy (all linked on my profile). But this one is special: my very first pack, the colleagues I personally turn to for insight + perspective, most of whom I know IRL.

The author, Kevin Zhu, recently finished a bachelor’s degree in computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, and now runs Algoverse, an AI research and mentoring company for high schoolers – many of whom are his co-authors on the papers.
