I hosted a karaoke event for Movember. I'm also walking 60km. I've walked 40km out of 60km so far. Typically, people run 60km, but due to having arthritis in my spine, I cannot do this. Please donate to support Men's mental health and to motivate me for the last 20km!

@washingtonpost.com
reported Thursday on a controversial policy downgrading how nooses and swastikas are labeled in the Coast Guard. 2) Admin officials attacked The Post, falsely alleging the reporting of "fake crap." 3) The CG said it would review policy language. 4) The CG reversed course.

In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.

My number one tip for researchers that do a significant amount of non peer reviewed paper publication/outreach: Create an excel table, every time you give an interview, talk, write an oped or white paper, etc. take 5 seconds to immediately note it in the excel.

There's a lot to unpack from the paper; the main takeaway is that we're starting to really see these objects in 3D! In the future, we want to really look at how the atmosphere itself evolves over time, rather than just looking at the rotational modulation - this would really be the weather!
