Is it that hard to find 12 impartial mega-billionaires in San Francisco to be a jury of his peers?

Something to wake up to this Friday morning…… youtu.be/u1TM1sqoaMI?...

The Horsehead and Flame Nebula. 55 years ago I saw an image of the Horsehead in a book on Astronomy, that image sparked a lifetime love of the subject. This is 1 hour of data from last night in SHO. #astronomy #astrophotography

I spent years investigating alfalfa farmer Mike Abatti, one of the American West's biggest water users. Now he's accused of murdering his wife. Fresh reporting on Mike's fractured family, and his obsessive drive to control the dwindling Colorado River: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/mike-abatt...

Rep. Massie:  “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files…Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.”

Snow is winding down here in Central MA but the wind is still blowing - hard!

First the Washington Post gutted its climate desk. Now its editorial board is cheerleading for Trump’s biggest and most dangerous climate rollback. My latest for Climate-Colored Goggles: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/jeff-bezos...

Every journalist needs to make it their responsibility to be a climate journalist. In this teaser, former LA Times and USA Today reporter Sammy Roth explains why the collapse of climate desks across media outlets is a crisis hiding in plain sight. Watch the full interview: youtu.be/PimJeAsd6gk

Astronomers Found an ‘Inside-Out’ Solar System That Shouldn’t Exist

Last December, weather and climate scientists sat down with us to tell us why they loved the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and why it benefits us all. Last night, the NSF began dismantling it. Listen to what they have to say, and why it's urgent that we #SaveNCAR wclivestream.com/act

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

When Monet first exhibited this impression of a sunrise at Le Havre, most critics were appalled, claiming they could not recognise what the painting was supposed to show. The energy transition to renewables is not dissimilar: “What? Electricity without combustion? Ridiculous!” The rest is history.

Researchers celebrate early results of a drug that may become the first treatment for a serious complication of pregnancy called preeclampsia. It's got the potential to save many lives. n.pr/4tw3Kex

The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family. It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

People talking about terrible teachers and gender bias in STEM fields & I can remember when the anatomy teacher tried to keep a girl from going on a field trip to Chico State to view a cadaver. Her mom raised absolute hell & now that girl has a Ph.d in molecular biology and leads R&D.

Ugh! This is a travesty and blatant #Grifting
