👠This photo of Mery Streep in South Korea promoting Devil Wears Prada 2 is everything.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Perfect opportunity for a passive aggressive sky-dive from Mrs Vance.

Holy smokes! An incredible start to the 'Wildfire Season' in the US this year - owing to an abnormally hot and snowless winter in some parts of the country.

I think men should deal with the job market we have rather than the job market they want. Like adults.

My response to the patriarchy. Keep grinding. Get stronger. Support women getting stronger in whatever capacity that means to them.

Happy Friday!!

The ocean truly is a place of infinite wonder

I think everyone that’s from Alaska has an official Alaska animal they declare is their animal. Mine is the puffin. They’re so fun to watch. Fast little f’ers too

As aside, this is one speech Melania didn’t plagiarize from Michelle Obama.

Now do you believe me when I tell you the ocean has absorbed ~30% of the carbon dioxide we’ve emitted? 🩵 And that it has absorbed 90%+ of the heat trapped by greenhouse gasses? 🩵

Time to make tech entrepreneurs endangered.

📚🐛 I love, love, love seeing this type of work and research! ‬ ‪ @skepticalscience.bsky.social

The only joy I’ve seen lately.

On n’a jamais vu une végétation aussi en avance. Au 5 avril, presque toutes les espèces ont déjà débourré, alors qu’à cette période, le réveil végétatif devrait à peine commencer (carte anomalie du "vert" en Europe). 2/3

Je vais employer un mot fort : alarmant. Vous pouvez me le reprocher (ou m'insulter). Mais je l’assume, car il est justifié. Les prévisions sont alarmantes, oui : nous nous dirigeons vers l’un des (ou le ?) El Niño les plus puissants jamais observés depuis le début des mesures. 1/5

@philplait.bsky.social Hello, I am a reporter with AFP news agency, could we speak in DM for a story I am working on?

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

@astrokatie.com Hi! I am a reporter with AFP news agency, could we chat in DM for a story I am working on? Thank you.

y'all.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I’m not sure whether it’s the current moment or the general fact of an empty, uncaring universe, but the so much of the latest issue of @theonion.com is hitting me right. You deserve more subscribers than the Washington Post, @bencollins.bsky.social.

BREAKING The four Artemis astronauts have fired up their spacecraft's engine to break away from Earth orbit and zoom towards the Moon, a milestone that commits NASA to the first crewed lunar flyby in more than half-a-century

When I told him about The New Yorker's very human fact-checking process, he crowed that "a lot of that is going to go away." To which I said, NO, AI means we need MORE fact-checking, because AI has flooded the web with bullshit. It certainly can't be trusted to fact-check itself, or anything. /

I don't need a summary of what's available online, in biographies, or even in my own notes. I need to comb through and find the great details, decide what interests ME. No, it's not efficient. It's slow and painstaking. But I don't believe in efficiency as an ultimate good, especially in writing. /

the “combing through and finding weird little details that interest me” part of research is so crucial

And right back at the best teamleader out there! 👏✅

SCREAMING CRYING KICKING MY FEET BC WHAT DO YOU MEAN DISNEYLAND NOT ONLY HAS A WALL-E FC BUT NOW THEY ALSO HAVE EVE 😭🤍 they hold hands while roaming around, i have never seen anything so perfect

Happy International Fact-Checking Day! Check out these highlights from our digital investigation annual report👇

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

The guy arguing for Trump is giving the dumbass spiel. Nobody is interrupting him. He's saying that birthright citizenship "demeans the priceless gift of American citizenship."

Under the Geneva Conventions (and their Additional Protocols): Objects “indispensable to the survival of the civilian population” — including drinking water installations and supplies — are protected. It is a war crime to intentionally attack them.

Days without embarassing myself:

Please nobody tell the NSF that the term "extreme weather" may no longer conform to Trump Thought. These really are the dark ages for American science grist.org/language/cli...

Not one king!

No. Absolutely not. No Kings.

Positive photo day 2201: There are days when the perfect photo is illusive and you have to settle for a Great Blue Heron in the reeds along the pond in Van Cortlandt Park. But since I haven't photographed a Great Blue Heron in months, I'm happy. #birds 🪶of the #Bronx #NYC @vcpalliance.bsky.social

Sigh.

...the coolest of which was taking Pixar's art team into the field for a week and showing them how incredible, beautiful, and chaotic beaver ponds are in real life. I'd visited these sites many times before for research, but never with a team of exceptionally talented artists in tow.

4. My review of Pixar's new film, "Hoppers," which has an amazing environmental message. Seriously, animals fighting to block a freeway construction project! I talked with the beaver scientist who helped Disney get it right: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/pixar-hopp...

In October, I left the L.A. Times to start CLIMATE-COLORED GOGGLES, an independent newsletter about climate and culture. This week I ran my first membership drive, publishing 5 stories over 5 days. It was exhausting but fun! If you're curious, here's what I wrote... 🧵

@vickycann.bsky.social Hello, I am a journalist with AFP, could we DM for a story I am working on? Thank you!

"Climate Science in Legal Contexts: A Glossary of Key Terms for Lawyers" from @ucs.org, @granthamlse.bsky.social & @nyulaw.bsky.social provides simple definitions of scientific terminology for lawyers to understand these concepts in legal contexts. #ClimateLitigation #ScienceCommunication

"Public understanding of science does not disappear overnight. It erodes gradually, when expertise feels inaccessible, detached, or absent from the places where people are actually forming beliefs."

This is more than unsettling. Global warming's localized weather whiplash. This suburban DMV area was at 80F 24 hours ago. Accurate forecasting is all we can say was good about this weather situation.

GO HOME WINTER, YOU'RE DRUNK It's currently snowing in DC, and some of my windows are still open because it was 84F yesterday 🤔

I don't think grammarly should just get to do "sorry deleting now" after ventriloquizing living and dead people without their consent to make money
