How the hell does a mountain lion get to Del Mar and Euclid in #Pasadena? Shelter in place orders have been declared. I hope they will relocate him/her back up the hill without harm.

Someone who doesn't know much about oceanography asked me if the dismantling of ocean monitoring capabilities was stupid and/or evil. It is stupid AND evil. The War on Science continues. As more people see it and push back, maybe the tide can be turned. 🌊🧪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Explosions, simulated gunfire expected in Pasadena tonight as military conducts training

to my mind the most important biographical fact to know about samuel alito is that he was a member of a group that opposed the admission of women and minorities to princeton www.nytimes.com/2005/11/27/p...

Sharing with the #SciArt Feed:

Absolutely overjoyed to share our new paper describing the oldest occurrence of soft-tissue preservation in crinoid echinoderms and their ecological significance 🧪

These trippy rainbow formations are called polar stratospheric clouds (PSC). They form in the stratosphere at 15-25 km (9-16 mi) when temps are below −78 °C. They're so high up that they're illuminated long after the sun dips below the horizon. (📷: Karin Switzerland)

in horrific news, NSF is planning to eliminate the Ocean Observatories Initiative

If you are a California voter (or any voter who uses mail in ballots, as my state of Washington does), make sure you know what’s up. Use your drop boxes! Get your ballots in early! Make sure all your people are aware as well.

"In spite of these declining fortunes, the board awarded eye-popping bonuses and salaries to Sampson and the rest of the museum’s executive staff over the last several years." Sounds familiar re: university upper admin....

"In ten days last month, the Wikimedia Foundation fired the longtime lead developer of MediaWiki and disbanded the team whose entire job was to listen to volunteers. Most of the people they fired were union organizers." Well, there goes my monthly donation Union busting is a HARD LINE for me

Spotted in the neighborhood, at the top of New York Ave., near where I was walking today. But our paths did not cross.

LOL last night Stephen Colbert spent an hour hosting public access "Only in Monroe"

Minutes before I got home from the Park, this was happening on the patio. Fortunately Connie got video 😊 Ravi and one of the kidlets. If the sound comes thru and is turned up, kidlet is doing repeated soft roars! Also, so much fluttering 🥰 #birds roadrunners

For over 4 years, workers at REI Co-op have been organizing and trying to reach a first union contract. How has REI responded? Union-busting. Join the tens of thousands of REI members standing with @reiunion.bsky.social and boycott their anniversary sale May 15-25.

Mass closure of Boba Tea places as academic-collapse indicator.

Just told my mom this story, and she said "What would you have done if it had been a murderer under your deck?" So chalk one more up for surprise bears > surprise men

Some chitons have aragonite eyes (“ocelli”) embedded in their plates! Maybe this would be like having eyes on your vertebral column? it would make it harder for someone to sneak up behind you… #MolluskMonday #MolluscMonday #MarineLife 🦑🌊

going down the rabbit hole of micromobility mini cars and electric cargo bikes and realizing the only reason we do not have cities teeming with micro diversity is because we refuse to create safe streets for them

I need to boost “apophany” again

Fuck you Virginia Supreme Court. We voted to redistrict. If you didn’t like it, you could have stopped the vote before it happened.

This is a perfect analogy of why AI is bad

Nobody is asking him about his position on storing nice looking rocks in his pouch

There’s been a lot of talk about Graham Platner and if his old posts and tattoo show bad judgement or ill intentions, if people can change or if he’s hiding his true aims, but when I see him all I think about is he looks like a giant otter it’s fucked up he looks like that and farms oysters right???

Welp. This is a hell of a story. Canadian Mining Journal published what appeared to be an entirely fabricated deep-sea mining paper, with quotes from fictional people and a source paper that does not exist.

Bulldozing sand dollars feeding and bioturbating in a ray pit on Tahunanui beach. So much happening beneath the sand under our feet. 🐙🦀🌊🧪

Beautiful Bay Beaches are Becoming Blue! (say that 5x fast!) 🌊💙 Jackie Sones, Research Coordinator for the @ucdavis.bsky.social Bodega Marine Reserve, notes that local beaches are looking blue-ish due to an influx of Velella velella. More from @kqedscience.bsky.social: www.kqed.org/science/2000...

Light up the streets my friend! You will be seen and safe out on your bike It may seem bright at night but it’s this way so it remains effective during daylight.
