New Rainbow Kitten Surprise album makes me want to drive around the blue ridge mountains just as the leaves are starting to turn.

Hey this is a great read.

The insurance industry is broken, especially in wildfire-prone states like California that have been hit hard by climate change. Could a community-based risk reduction model be the solution? Proud to have gotten to co-write this story for @kneedeeptimes.bsky.social with @megduff.com 🌎🧪

What if the rapture did happen, but it was like 6 people and no one noticed?

Holy shit this new Wednesday album!

This is an important point - things weren’t healthier or magically safer in the past, and we’ve known raw milk carries risks for a long time.

I’ve never been the biggest Korn fan, but I have to say watching Jonathan Davis bop around onstage in a bedazzled kilt was extremely endearing.

We knew this would come. bookriot.com/the-next-boo...

A technology that played a key part in saving millions of lives during the pandemic should be celebrated. Yet in the US, research into mRNA vaccines is being cut. While sadly not unexpected, it’s irresponsible as we argue in our editorial this week 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Finally listening to the new Sleep Token album. Feels like I’ve walked into a restaurant only to be handed an unopened Hello Fresh box.

Tattoos are great because sometimes you feel bad about your body and then you remember it has cool art on it

I often say that reporting on sex testing in sports is like reporting on a really twisted, 100 year game of wack-a-mole where we see the same things happen over and over. This is a great example. (A short thread, if you'll indulge me.)

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together. With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection. If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

Your attention: CPB winds down January 2025 Your local NPR & PBS stations survive with your contributions. If "Tiny Desk" and "Finding Your Roots" and "PBS Newshour" are important to you, They Need Your Money Now. Don't be wringing your hands about what's lost when you have the chance to save it.

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

An engineer in LA was working on an app that can LiDAR-map interior spaces. Then his house burned down. 🧪🌎

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

Find someone who looks at you the way Brad looks at Zohran.

Time for some real talk: @thexylom.com, the only Asian American-run news outlet covering science, climate, and the environment, will run out of funding in July if we don't secure $7,500 by the end of the month. I might lose my job at a time while waiting for a visa extension -- a nightmare scenario.

Wow spending time with friends irl is really nice

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

Apparently 2025 of the year I get REALLY into pollinators

An update on the state of US honeybees. In my first for Science, experts have finally found a culprit for this year’s record die-offs…but it could be tough to counteract. 🧪🌏

Come for the nighthawks, stay for the term “gravy boat with a cryptic smile”

FOLKS

Love to see bicon Hank green thirsting over Jim Henson on my timeline happy pride y’all

Happy Zohran day to all who celebrate

Could things just like, stop happening for 10 minutes?

I sincerely respect this honesty and transparency. I share for the valuable lesson. Do not make fun of this man. Yall do dumber stuff before noon with AI and let it roll.

In light of the election, here’s a cool story about congestion pricing in which I interviewed Brad Lander. He was lovely and really knows his stuff. Zohran Mamdani is also a great choice. Let’s elect a mayor who actually cares about NYC!

I love pride, when all my friends send me gay little memes every day. As opposed to usual, when all my friends send me gay little memes every other day

I wrote about the 100 hour climate and weather livestream for space.com. Read it here - or better yet, go watch them! 🧪🌏

200+ climate and weather scientists whose research is currently under threat are livestreaming facts for 100 hours straight and you can watch it here: youtube.com/live/CcWR6Cd...

Did a little in-person reporting yesterday as NASA’s GISS lab in Manhattan was cleared out following DOGE cuts. 🧪🌏

One thing I’ve learned as a freelancer is if you have a story you’re passionate about, keep pitching it.

Closing tabs 😌

Honeybees are in serious trouble, and the Trump administration’s cuts are not helping. My first for @theatlantic.com. 🧪🌏

DINOSAUR

"We'll just terraform Mars," they insist, unable to terraform Earth, a planet that is already perfect except it's like 2° too warm.

I’ve been thinking a lot about why I, a person who was raised Catholic but left the faith many years ago, have been so invested in the new pope selection. And I think it’s this (1/3):

Read the whole thread for excellent pope analysis

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

Hey stuff is terrible, read about these cool birds. They all pitch in to help raise chicks across breeding seasons! Commune goals! 🧪

I would honestly love to know how Donald thinks the papacy works.

Wow these people really have no idea how Catholicism works, huh?

I’m sorry, one of the front runners for pope is an Italian named Pierbatista Pizzaballa? Did JK R*wling write this?

you should read @ericmgarcia.bsky.social every day but especially today
