1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Pertinent for my #ENVSCOMM25-2 students, related to our class discussions of how narrative & emotion are necessary companions to talking about the science of climate change, conveyed in @drkatemarvel.bsky.social's new book 'Human Nature: Nine Ways to Feel About Our Changing Planet.' 🧪📚

Can’t say I’ve ever seen an Ocean Heat Blob this intense & vast, over the entirety of the Pacific basin - the marine heatwave is literally from coast to coast. It’s remarkable. Since May the record heat has now migrated to US West Coast. Note: the Tropical Pacific is cooling (La Nina forming)

Average sea ice thickness across the #Arctic Ocean dropped to a record low for the month of August. Current conditions show higher extent, but very thin ice to end the summer warm season. More at zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i.... Data simulated by PIOMAS.

Fantastic thread on the recent article about the search for an atmosphere around the roughly Earth-sized, habitable zone (of a very small star) planet Trappist-1 e, based on JWST observations. Really not much more than a hint of an atmosphere for now, but stay tuned (& follow @distantworlds.space)!
