This seems like it might be important.

🎉 We did it! Fantastic teamwork by ONC and CSIC Catalunya has led to the successful deployment this week of a second subsea observatory offshore of the Juan Carlos I Spanish Antarctic Station 🇦🇶 📡 Data is now streaming from both observatories into ONC’s open data portal, Oceans 3.0.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Yep. The breakdown of the polar vortex (which used to keep cold air in the very high latitudes) is caused by the human-caused climate changes in the Arctic.

Now is the time to fight for our values.

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

We can build walls or we can be more ambitious — and build something better, stronger, and more just.

PM Mark Carney: “The future of Greenland is a decision for Greenland & Denmark exclusively — it’s their decision We are NATO partners with Denmark — our obligations on Article 5, Article 2 of NATO stand, & we stand full square behind those”

Today on Volts: Swedish tech entrepreneur Jonas Birgersson was once known in his country as "broadband Jesus" for his efforts in spreading decentralized, low-cost broadband access. Now, he wants to bring the same decentralized, peer-to-peer revolution to the electricity grid.

Remarkable and not in a good way.

NEW An initially-secret report for Customs and Border Patrol in 2013 found: In many vehicle shooting cases, the “driver was attempting to flee from the agents who intentionally put themselves into the exit path of the vehicle, thereby … creating justification for the use of deadly force.” 🧵

Humans have emitted 2750 gigatons of CO2 since the industrial revolution from burning fossil fuels and land use change. To put this in perspective, this is more than the (dry) mass of all living things on earth and everything humans have ever built combined:

Remember this if nothing else: Every shouted lie in Trump’s outburst tonight was an effort to cover up a Trump failure or crime. Every single one.

A crazy event in the report: “Following the retreat of South Sawyer Glacier, a landslide in southeast Alaska’s Tracy Arm in August 2025 generated a tsunami that swept across the narrow fjord and ran nearly 1,600 feet up the other side. Fortunately, the fjord was empty of cruise ships.”
