Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Bright sun, blue skies, #JackSmith testimony released yesterday…a very auspicious beginning to 2026.

My old pal @eniiler.bsky.social with a killer story. What we save defines us as a culture—the archive is our memory and our future. And we’re throwing it away? Madness. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/c...

2025 had some pretty amazingly good stuff happen, too! 2026 just might be a whole lot better than you think… Happy New Year!

On @revealnews.org's “More To The Story,” climate change activist @billmckibben.bsky.social examines the remarkable growth of renewable energy and why it gives us a chance to fight climate change. It’s the most optimistic 30 minutes you’ll hear all week: tinyurl.com/3ztc2w34

This is a handbook, a history, a manual for people in the resistance. It looks at the effective patterns and ways throughout history when people stopped complying and started making change. It’s 25% off through Jan 1 if you preorder and use code PREORDER25 www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-resistan...

And it is of course fierce, trenchant, and to the point and everyone should read it.

So sad about the destruction of the Lick Observatory. #climatechange is a real bugaboo.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

The Trump-Republican “Big Beautiful Bill” is actually a “Big Ugly Nightmare.” Much of what’s included in it will begin in 2026. Here’s what you should know.

Let’s talk about something not many people are chatting about and what’s actually happening right now. You might wonder why Imran Ahmed and the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) suddenly became targets of the U.S. government. The honest answer is that their research hit where it hurt.

This message hits hard.

I think Ivanka might be a victim. Prove me wrong, release the #EpsteinFiles

Still up. Glad I posted here and not YouTube. This is what Bari Weiss and CBS tried to hide from us.

It is possible to stop this destruction of our beautiful planet! We only need to stop the extraction industry first!

Happy Winter Solstice!

A win! Thanks to everyone who spoke out. Following public backlash, Mike Lee backtracked on the National Parks proposal, which would have rescinded legislation protecting national parks and maintaining their boundaries as federal lands.

Today was the singular and exceedingly fun Rutabaga Curl in #Ithaca NY Highly recommended to meet the god and goddess of rutabagas if you happen to be in the area next year! #MerryChristmas #HappySolstice #rutabaga

Absolutely amazing to have such a colorful sunset on the penultimate longest night of the year!

Cat-in-the-Box Happy #caturday !

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

So if the victim’s lawyers have the full files, and the DOJ has failed to comply, why don’t the victims release their redacted version, bill the DOJ, and send all the scofflaws to prison? Seems like a win for everyone!

Impromptu meeting at AGU2025. Write congresspeople, show up to town halls, and make your voice heard as much as possible that this is a complete unforced error with no benefit at all and that weust #SaveNCAR #AGU2025

I don’t see how this particular lie will fly any more with this regime. #EpsteinFiles

So does Bondi get arrested and taken into custody now or just fined? What’s the repercussion of breaking the law? If I break the law, I get arrested or at least cited as soon as the breach is discovered, so just wondering if the law is similarly applied everywhere in this great nation of ours.

Need something to feel good about? I sure do. Here are 7 fantastic science stores from 2025. Science will continue, even if The Regime tries to kill it at home. #Science 🧪

Weird coincidence that the announcement to dismantle NCAR came during the annual AGU meeting.

Absolutely loving the bright sun, warm air and 50 degree temps after last week’s negative lows BUT this is not a healthy weather system, hard on the plants. The polar wobble will return atypical cold temps in about two weeks. Climate change is real.

This must be stopped!!!

Had a nice evening scrapbooking. Anything happen?

Time for another strongly worded but patiently polite letter.

The world would be better off if the party boys had just partied. Win-Win.

"The notion that all elected officials have are their thoughts and prayers, regardless of by whom it is uttered, is a direct attack on the purpose of government itself." snyder.substack.com/p/what-a-ter...

Commerce-Justice-Science Appropriations bill for FY26 is currently being conferenced (House/Senate). One might think they would have something to say about this. Folks who want to take action on what Vought wants to do to #NCAR should contact Congressmembers on those Appropriations subcommittees.

Here's a list of what we're currently working on that will use NCAR's climate models in one form or another: 💉 estimating cholera and yellow fever vaccine stockpile needs due to climate change 🦠 trying to test if geoengineering-strengthened ENSO can set off a synchronous global dengue epidemic
