Trump Administration Announces That We Don’t Know Where The Sun Goes At Night

Last time I checked, sexually based offenses were considered especially heinous.

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

HUGE. A victory for more than a quarter million Haitians with Temporary Protected Status. A significant majority of them entered the United States legally and have never been out of status since. Even the Trump admin isn't saying Haiti is a safe country for them to go back to.

Oh! “A federal judge on Friday ruled the Energy Department violated the law when Secretary Chris Wright handpicked five researchers who reject the scientific consensus on climate change to work in secret on a sweeping government report on global warming.”

This scene will never not be funny.

Let’s all raise a glass of Herb Ertlinger’s fruit wine.

Just so we are clear. Haitians are currently in the United States legally. They are not here illegally. Trump is revoking their legal status Feb. 3, and then, according to reports, immediately sending ICE in to Springfield and Columbus, Ohio, to target them.

11 inches of snow thus far. The birds are a flurry around the feeder. A good book and heavy blankets, and I’ll try to escape from the horrors of the world for a while.

Six years ago, it seemed like the Midwest was well on its way to building the first offshore wind farm in the Great Lakes. Then the project withered on the vine — and a civil lawsuit puts the blame on utility FirstEnergy’s bribery scheme in Ohio ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/08/f...

Wildfires can spread quickly — by the time one is nearby, you may not have much time. Have an evacuation plan, and prepare an emergency supply kit ahead of time. Listen to local officials for emergency information and any evacuation orders.

I wrote to my representatives @hirono.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social, and Ed Case to tell them to stop the dismantlement of NCAR. You can do the same with your representatives at this link.

Attendance at US-based science conferences is bouncing around this year but generally down. #AGU25 has ~10k fewer this year! I explored these trends for @nature.com — including solutions to keep conferences local & productive: www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪

If you’re at #AGU25, come by our Town Hall tomorrow at 1PM in 243-244. After the National Climate Assessment was disbanded, a bunch of us got to work to advance climate assessment.

As it was in the midst of financing a $61 million bribery scheme, FirstEnergy also improperly claimed millions in construction expenses. Now the utility is asking Ohio regulators for permission to charge its customers for the $108 million in errors ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/11/14/r...
