A fascinating and important investigation from @opb.org's Tony Schick and Monica Samayoa in partnership with @propublica.org. The quote that scares me the most: “We are absolutely looking at rolling blackouts," according to state Rep. Mark Gamba.

Invasive emerald ash borer could wipe out Oregon’s ash trees. Here’s how you can help.
“Right now is a good time to identify if you have an ash tree because they are leafing out right now,” says an invasive species specialist. “It’s OK if you don’t even know what an ash tree is. We have...

So far, Bluesky > Threads. Mainly because now I’m following a bunch of funny meme accounts on threads who don’t post memes, and not the insightful accounts here who were the best part of old Twitter. (Also, tell me more good accounts to follow here!)
