My annual update of sea level observations and trends at Virginia Key near #Miami:
The 2024 annual average water level was the 3rd highest on record, just below 2023 and 2022 (18.6-yr LNC removed). The trend is upward at an average rate of ~2.8 inches or 7.0 cm per decade. [1/4] 🌊

Interesting story. I am not sure I could handle living with someone who buys into conspiracy theories, though. My fact-based mind could not handle supporting that level of "kool-aid" drinking. :-(
A California couple's relationship was upended when one partner found a whole new set of beliefs after an overnight video binge. Four years later, they're still navigating how to talk about politics.

Columnist Scott Maxwell on Florida's dropping SAT scores: "You know, it’s almost like Florida’s plan for education — censoring books, berating teachers, whitewashing history lessons and sending families to fly-by-night voucher schools in strip malls — hasn’t worked out so well."
Maxwell: Florida SAT scores drop again, now to 47th. Florida's drop started before COVID and is starker than states where even more students take the test

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
