We found that Jeff Bezos paid zero taxes in 2007 and 2011. In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children. Revisit our 2021 story:

This event is tomorrow (Thu) morning, and you can still sign up to watch live! It will also be recorded. There has been a big uptick in wildfire activity in recent days, so this will be a timely opportunity to discuss bigger picture surrounding the "fire information landscape."

Humans are killing California Joshua trees. Can fungi save them?

Georgia! Jon Ossoff has been a great Senator and deserves to keep his seat. Please vote! Do not sit this out! He has delivered lower insulin prices, bipartisan infrastructure bill, is fighting to ban congressional stock trading & corruption, & fought for oversight to correct injustices. VOTE!

Polls are open from 7am to 7pm for primary elections, and general elections for the Supreme Court of Georgia and inferior court judges. Go vote, Georgia!!

Crescent moon and Venus, look up!

Videos show an oil spill has reached the shores of a pristine Persian Gulf island in Iran surrounded by clear turquoise waters that provide refuge for endangered sea turtles and dolphins.

The killings Monday at San Diego’s largest mosque are being investigated as a hate crime, touching off concerns about rising Islamophobia in the United States.

I wonder if anyone ever said at a wildfire prevention meeting, “Okay, but what if a guy shoots flares at an island?”

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

Remember how *hysterical* Republicans got when Obama bowed to the Emperor of Japan in 2009? Well, here is Trump bowing before the President of China—and not a peep from the MAGA outrage machine.

“They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant that they just awakened.” - Rep. @aoc.bsky.social in Montgomery #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

Developers are aiming to build the biggest data center complex in Virginia. It would be 22 million square feet, which works out to four Disneylands, or 61 Pentagons, or—because this is America—382 football fields. And developers are trying to buy up people’s houses and property to do it.

In the Colorado Upper Basin state of Utah, for example—one of the driest places on earth, with an environmental catastrophe unfolding at what’s left of the Great Salt Lake, adjacent to a metropolitan region of 2.8 million—70% of the water goes to raise alfalfa for cattle feed and export.

Trump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. Just absolutely staggering corruption.

Overall, warmer-than-average conditions will persist across most of the West, including most of California, through mid-late May. Extreme heat/ridging is generally not expected at this time, but persistently elevated temperatures are still likely in this pattern.

Around midweek, a small & relatively weak cut-off low will break through the ridge, intersecting Pacific coast somewhere near OR/CA border. While weak, it will still bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to PacNW and possibly also mountains of NorCal (& locally elsewhere).

Warm-to-hot spring temps, with both daytime and nighttime conditions much warmer than mid-May averages, will redevelop over the next few days across most of the U.S. West under fairly strong ridging. This will be notable, though generally not record-breaking, early season heat.

President Trump wants the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool painted blue. He used an exemption to steer a $6.9 million contract to somebody he said had worked on his own pools, despite rules about how government money is spent, The New York Times found.

I love a good road trip, but this is brutally out of touch: a Trump Cabinet member making a documentary about himself while regular families can’t afford road trips anymore, because Trump and his war put gas prices through the roof.

Well done article from @us.theguardian.com on how the Trump administration's war on science and data is harming the American public. "Experts warn that Trump’s destruction of the country’s data infrastructure will have lasting impacts on all aspects of life..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Alaska can resume shooting and killing black and brown bears as part of a state effort to protect a small caribou herd from predation in southwestern Alaska, a judge ruled on Monday.

After the 2023 marine heat wave, 70-75% “of our Caribbean sites had tipped from net growth into net erosion. They are now losing calcium carbonate faster than corals can add it. The threshold that earlier models had suggested might be crossed over during the next decade or so has already arrived.”

This is so good! Please watch! 🌊

The bird and especially the eggs were perfectly camouflaged. Bird only gave itself away by putting on a “broken wing” act to pull us away.
