This point isn’t sufficiently appreciated. The “right” way to immigrate doesn’t really exist.

I’ve become fascinated by the Ogasawara islands—technically part of Tokyo but you can only get there by overnight ferry. About as far south as Okinawa. Glad to see a conservation success story there.

Really disappointed at the many ways my alma mater @columbiauniversity.bsky.social has debased itself.

You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated: If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.

Do I have any experts out there who can tell me what’s going on with this lake in the Modoc National Forest? These islands are each about 40 m across and appears to be made of rock and are vegetated. The entire water body does not appear on NF maps.

The US wine industry today employs more people than coal did at its peak a century ago

The first public media station to go dark thanks to Trump’s cutoff of federal funding to public media is a 70 year old station in Pennsylvania. https://loom.ly/IjOHdzI

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

They can’t force us to think he was a good person

I was just about to buy my nephew a collector’s edition of Ghosts of Yotei for his bday, but hearing how @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social fired an employee for saying sane and reasonable things about Charlie Kirk has made me reconsider.

I have had a pretty rough time finding reviewers for a manuscript I’m handling. The poor authors have been waiting for ages. Is anyone interested in helping out, particularly if you are interested in biomonitoring or applied stream ecology?

It was 100% ok to mock Charlie Kirk before his death, and it’s 100% to mock him after his death. Calling out his vile behavior in no way condones violence.

I condemn political violence, such as sending in the National Guard to crush political protests in Los Angeles.

If Donald Trump is so obsessed with governing DC, he should step down as President and run for Mayor.

this is insane, we know it's his signature, we don't need this level of analysis! the people claiming otherwise aren't arguing in good faith!! bsky.app/profile/wash...

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

I’d be happy if I even got refusals. I mostly get ignored for a week before I move on to a new reviewer. It’s really bad. The scientific community is failing itself.

Do you like acoustic data, community ecology, and desert oases? Apply for a PhD in my lab to investigate the role of ephemeral water sources (i.e., playa lakes and tinajas) in structuring desert bat (and maybe bird) communities.

Meet the freshwater mussel Margaritifera margaritifera. It can live for up to 130 years. It uses salmonid fishes as hosts for its larval stage. It is endangered in Europe but stable in Atlantic North America. It belongs in a different family than most other N. American & European freshwater mussels.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

I remember when people use to fabricate medical conditions to avoid vaccines….

I think waterfalls are a relatively under-studied freshwater habitat.

I’m a YES vote on this

Sign AGU’s letter to defend climate science. 
The Trump administration has proposed overturning the EPA’s endangerment finding — the science-based determination that greenhouse gases threaten public health.

Sometimes we know a crayfish is at a site before we even begin sampling. In this case, the hairy claws of the pilose crayfish had washed up on the shore of a reservoir from molts or mortalities.

"Van Lent, a well-regarded hydrologist who began working on Everglades restoration at the South Florida Water Management District in the 1980s, quit the nonprofit in a dispute over a planned Palm Beach County reservoir. He argued the project would likely fall short of providing clean freshwater..."
