Wall Street is retreating from DEI, as programs once meant for minorities and women are now open to all.
One ex-exec says she’s had white women ask what opportunities their sons will have if Wall Street focuses on promoting underrepresented groups

Video statement from NSIDC’s Twila Moon at a pre-AGU workshop on polar geoengieering projects. These ideas have been recently publicized in a “Giant Antarctic Ocean Curtain to stop sea level rise” press article.

I think this is boring and is also addressing one of the most important concrete things that we can do to improve academia (and diversity within it). In general: one of the most unfortunate things about adulthood is that Actually Important Things are Boring AF.

Hedge funds raking in huge profits from climate risk. "Cat bond issuance has been turbo-charged by concern about extreme weather events fueled by climate change, and by decades-high inflation that’s added to the cost of rebuilding after natural disasters." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This list is awesome and I'm keeping it forever for future arguments. Only complaint is that each quote fits into a Decision Tree for Shit Nice Racists Say. Someone with art skills needs to make that.

Ohio has basically defacto banned trans healthcare for adults using a similar strategy to why there was only a handful of abortion clinics in the entire Midwest before the Dobbs decision (TRAP laws)

Breaking: Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) bans, by executive order, gender-affirming surgery for minors, effective immediately. The move followed last week's veto of a broader bill. He also announced two proposed rules that will apply to all care, including adults. substack.com/profile/2269...

Yeah, I've hit "Kids these days" point and reminded colleagues (who went straight to grad school after undergrad and now have fancy titles) how (a) we're old; things are different (b) remember when I held your hair when you barfed on yourself before your first invited talk? Yeah...shut up, girl.
When I was growing up it was hard to convince older people you couldn't just show up and apply for a job anymore. They just couldn't wrap their heads around it.
Now we tell younger people to "just Google it" without appreciating that all the search engines are broken.

HAHAHA. This. Except geoengineering and sea level rise.
This is the hypocrisy of small science: do some fancy pants analysis of 3rd order issues w/o ever addressing the 1st order ones b/c they would be unpalatable to a captured bureaucracy and the industry. Never make all the assumptions explicit btw as that would reveal how ridiculous they are. 3/3

Good academic social media experience: when people celebrate science in my own discipline ...but I've never read any of the authors before. This demonstrates that the networks I know of aren't *actually* that powerful, and also that there are whole new worlds of Potential Science Friends.

Holy shit, people need to see "Us". My sister and I deal with Christmas at home by binge-watching horror movies and this is one of the best of the last 5 yrs. Lupita Nyong'o just hit the Olivia Colman / Gillian Anderson space of "I'll just watch whatever movie she's in"

A few years back I coded an algorithm to compute daily surface melt in Antarctica from microwave sat. data. The NSIDC adopted the code but it isn't live yet.
Until then, I created my own "Antarctica Today" app that'll auto-post replies to this thread.
Daily surface melt extent w/ a 1-day lag.

Is the community of 🌊 level projection experts too accustomed to working with the scraps off the 💰 agency tables?
I firmly believe that if the right 👀 can see how insufficient sea level projections are, the money will come. $20M won't be too much to ask.

Got booster, brain is mud, thus watching brainless TV today – not “film”, not “informative”, just looking for Good Garbage and it is SO disappointing. Why do so many stories revolve around a teen heiress with supernatural powers and imaginary problems? Alternate recommendations welcome.
