Does anybody out there write with as much heart and immersive detail as Eli Saslow? One of my favorite writers when he was at the Washington Post, and kicking ass at the @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

Literally cannot stress enough that if I, a climate scientist, were running a scam it would be a lot more fun than this

The Federal Judicial Center deleted a chapter on climate science from a reference manual for judges. I spoke to one of the authors of the chapter. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/c...

Another good one from @sulliview.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/margaret...

Science will break your heart. But there's so much heroism in the trying. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/c...

This one really worries me. People want to know the facts about climate change, but last year there was even less media coverage than the previous year. Thanks to @lyndseylayton.bsky.social of @nytimes.com for pointing out that reader interest is actually on the rise.

We had twice that many in Fairfax alone back in the day. And it mattered. Reporters are the eyes and ears of the community, keeping tabs on people in power. We were there for every supervisors meeting and every school board meeting. We pored through planning commission documents and campaign filings

The great Peggy Noonan on the demise of the @washingtonpost.com: "The capital of the most powerful nation on earth appears to be without a vital, fully functioning newspaper to cover it. That isn’t the occasion of jokes, it’s a disaster." www.wsj.com/opinion/a-la...

Boom. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/t...

The amazing Carlos Lozada reminds us of Eugene Meyer's seven principles for the Post and asks if they will survive. "I hope that The Post will endure, even thrive, as a business, but I worry that it may do so at the cost of its essence, its heart, its core." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/o...

Sixty years of excellent work at the Washington Post; a beloved figure there. The Bezos team just laid him off. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/b...

I have so many thoughts about what was unleashed on @washingtonpost.com and many of my @postguild.bsky.social siblings yesterday. The most productive thought is to support them. Please give generously with me to help these dedicated journalists who are paying the price for others’ cowardice.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

"The Post is all of our “we”—the journalists fighting for it, the ones competing against it, those of us in the diaspora, and especially the community that counts on it and the nation that turns to it." Thank you @ashleyrparker.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

JUST IN: Lawyers file declaration in federal court from first-hand witness to immigration agents' shooting of a US citizen onlookers today. Minneapolis Mayor Frey said details would be used to bolster case for ousting ICE from city. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The beauty of this, the riskiness, the audaciousness of the science are all breathtaking. @zhonggg.bsky.social and Chang W. Lee are doing amazing reporting from Antarctica www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/c...

The NYT has a reporter & a photographer aboard an expedition in Antarctica, part of a long tradition of reporting from the frozen continent www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/c...

E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved When Setting Rules on Air Pollution: In a reversal, the agency plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits, and not the monetary value of saving human lives, documents show. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c...

This ICE, I love. Portraits of the Thwaites glacier by the incredible Chang Lee. And a dateline to die for: "Aboard the icebreaker Araon in the Amundsen Sea" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/c...

"Thwaites’s undoing could act like a cork being pulled from a bottle, causing the neighboring glaciers that make up the West Antarctic ice sheet to disintegrate as well. That could add 10 to 15 feet to sea-level rise over the course of several centuries." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/c...

The joke is that fusion is always 10 years away. But recent moves by China suggest that it might finally be around the corner. Clean, limitless energy that could change civilization. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/13/c...

Gotta admit "the font is DEI" is a stage of absurdity I could not have predicted

This is the point: “Displaying the probability of a specific home flooding this year or within the next five years can have a significant impact on the perceived desirability of that property,” said Art Carter [CRLS CEO] www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/c...

“Where the hell is the whitefish?” Jacob Bernstein, among the fressers at the Zabar wake. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/s...

I know we're not supposed to talk about Woody Allen, but ANNIE HALL is one of the supreme American movies & Diane Keaton's wild charisma is 90% of the reason why. And btw her performance of "Seems Like Old Times" is pure magic—up there with the greatest musical scenes in cinema, zero doubt

“I never really thought about him as being the one who did it,” she said. “But now I’ve really got something to think about, huh?” Trump’s war on solar hurts his own voters. Great @maxinejoselow.bsky.social reporting in the @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/c...

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Dana Carvey parodied George HW Bush on SNL — “Nah, wouldn’t be prudent” — the President called him up and they became friends. . Daryl Hammond imitated Clinton through his Presidency, including savage stuff during his sex scandal. Clinton invited him to do a “dueling Presidents” gag.

Far as I can tell, Robert Redford was: * successful at everything he tried * genuinely intelligent & insightful * desired by women * envied by men * an absolute mensch to everyone he dealt with * a tireless, lifelong philanthropist ... and he died peacefully in his sleep. 10/10 life. No notes.

Chris Wright says climate change is no big deal, and that offshore wind is the most expensive energy in the world. And then there are the facts. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/c...

Art depicting “Sandwich Guy” now at the scene of the alleged misdemeanor.

So this windfarm is mostly built, fully permitted, with billions invested. But the Trump administration says no.

Drug Enforcement Administration officers patrolling the National Mall. If you know DC you understand how tremendously goofy this is (h/t @lorenzohall1.bsky.social)

“Colossal bursts of rain like the ones that caused the deadly flooding in Texas are becoming more frequent and intense around the globe as the burning of fossil fuels heats the planet, scientists say.” @zhonggg.bsky.social @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/c...

Politics in the Trump era: They lied to him, set him up on a fake date, secretly videotaped him without his permission and then distorted his words to create a false conspiracy theory to justify policy changes. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/c...

This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: www.nytimes.com/inte...

It turns out that Don Jr. was opposed to this, too

Even Alex Epstein said this goes too far....

Great piece in today's NYTimes on the recent acceleration of global warming (and its impacts), featuring comments from Kate Marvel, Daniel Swain, Cecilia Bitz, and me: www.nytimes.com/2025...

Wonder how Republicans could vote to kill green energy jobs in their own districts? Here's how (gift article): www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/c...

Amazing. Respect the lede.

Fact Checker by Glenn Kessler: The White House’s campaign against the Congressional Budget Office is veering into the ridiculous. What they call a “verifiable fact” is a nonsense fact.

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

But here's some cheerier news: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/c... And www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/c... And www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/c...
