"10:30 A.M. Send another overdue notice to the impish man who checked out 'Tom Sawyer' months ago and listed last known address as 'Heaven.' Men like this are why I’m a single spinster."

It was really thoughtful of Israel to not only include things he fully hated this year, but to give people he is on the brink of hating a warning. "I don't really hate Glen Powell, not yet at least, but he is skating on thin ice lately. He's just on the verge of having too much dip on the chip."

The Coquille Indian Tribe has long understood the importance of salmon to the Coos Bay estuary. In research presented at #AGU25, a team studied soils to learn more about how the estuary has changed over time. eos.org/articles/ble...

(adding alt text to this NCAR update from here in CO) "President Trump is attacking Colorado because we refuse to bend to his corrupt administration. His reckless decision to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research will have lasting, devastating impacts across the country." (1/2)

The timeline we are living in continues to grow ever more outlandish (though it looks like comments are now turned off).

At an @agu.org Town Hall today, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social President Antonio Busalacchi spoke to #AGU25 attendees about what's at stake if NCAR is dismantled. One attendee asked anyone who uses NCAR research to stand up. Almost everyone in the room stood. Read more here: eos.org/research-and...

A great interview with photographer behind THE Vanity Fair images. "My job is to go in and draw on my experience as a journalist and photograph what I see. I go in not with the mission of making someone look good or bad. Whether anyone believes me or not..." www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

The Trump Administration's plan to dismantle the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is senseless & dangerous. It would weaken weather forecasting, climate research, & the science that keeps people safe. We urge that this plan be abandoned. Call Congress to #SaveNCAR today. buff.ly/7ka1BQA

A couple of quotes from this (very useful) (very depressing) livestream. Thanks to Daniel for hosting it!

Efforts to dissolve the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social, including closing the center’s headquarters in Boulder, will begin immediately, an official told @usatoday.com 🧪 eos.org/research-and...

New Orleans has a lot of glass waste. Instead of throwing out those beads and bottles, researchers found that the glass, ground back down to sand, can support healthy mangrove growth and could help shore up Louisiana's eroding wetlands. #AGU25 My latest for @eos.org: eos.org/articles/gla...

Folks! We did it! The Onion has 60,000 subscribers! We're that much closer to reaching our goal of beating The Washington Post's print circulation by the end of next year. (They were last reported at 97k, but it's probably lower now.) Thank you all. Democracy died in darkness but we're still here.

Yes I have wanted to see the Sperm's Journey portrayed by the Lord of the Rings fellowship, and finally an outlet stepped up to do it! Thank you @knowablemag.bsky.social.

Kim with the scoop, as always. Conditions are similar here in Colorado.

It's simple — @propublica.org workers should not be replaced by artificial intelligence. Our contract proposal specifically says that generative artificial intelligence ("GAI") should not be used to replace employees. Management struck out this entire section in their response to our proposal.

That's a wrap!🎁🧑‍🦳

After 2 years of war, 98% of tree cropland and 75% of greenhouses in Gaza have been destroyed. Remote sensing maps tracking the progression of damage can help identify the best ways to remediate the land & rebuild Gaza’s agricultural sector. #AGU25 My latest for @eos.org: eos.org/articles/98-...

"Every media era gets the fabulists it deserves. If Stephen Glass, Jayson Blair and the other late 20th century fakers were looking for the prestige and power that came with journalism in that moment, then this generation’s internet scammers are scavenging in the wreckage..."

"The artistry was celebrated as pushing boundaries when, in actuality, stormwater doesn’t know any." Some incredible analysis here.

"This article shouldn’t stop you from buying things. Nor should it stop you from returning things that don’t work for you. Done in excess, however — that’s how you get thousands upon thousands of pallets packed with untold numbers of undelivered, unsold, and unloved things."

I think often of my favorite philosophy professor from college, who was named (most unfortunately) Jeffrey Epstein. I hope he's doing okay out there teaching 19-year-olds about normative ethics.

The EPA is picking and choosing who gets to work during the shutdown: "virtually everyone who is working to undo marquee Biden-era regulations for air pollution, climate change and water quality is still on the job." This is, to put it mildly, not normal. www.eenews.net/articles/epa...
