your paper's answer and policy implications/recommendations has to be in the abstract please I beg of you

Everybody thinks they can pull off a funny paper title. Like wearing a leather jacket, only 1 out of 100 folks can. Odds are against you. Don't do it.

The song Bohemian Like You was released in 2000 but it really feels like the last gasp of the 1990s. Same energy: "you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back"

I would love an EV version of that 1995 Tacoma. Although I would add least a hundred pounds of bass tubes, srry

Social movement scholar here again. So, why protest? Nihilists were out yesterday arguing that "protests don't do anything." A short 🧵:

This is quite damning, and to be fair illustrative of the reliance on an ever diminishing pool of outdated airframes for a number of key US airborne force multipliers (the KC-135 fleet being the most notable example).

this is turning out to be one of the onion's all-time classics

And the rest of society should not be caught in the exhaust of these bad incentives and law review articles not peer-reviewed but lightly edited by earnest and overworked and power imbalanced journal club students.

their claim is thermodynamically inane, what are we even doing here

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

“that thing you like and think is good? Well, according to me, it’s actually bad” - world’s worst posters, today

We are still feeling the effects of some of the carbon dioxide from the Titanic, from the first Model-T, from the first steam engine. This chart is the most important chart in climate policy and yet most folks don’t know about it. Carbon dioxide is forever.

Using a 20-year period to compare methane the CO2 is a terrible idea. It heavily discounts the future and locks in greater warming. New York should move away from it, and instead set separate targets for CO2 and short-lived climate pollutants:

omg come to san antonio the new center of the transit system the snacks at the station are going to be crazy. chamoy gummy bear pickle raspas for everyone

this is the type of worries we should have

$10B DHS slush fund has the same annual budget as the entire EPA or the National Science Foundation and have some left over.

I think you mean cool american

we could instead drive on electricity and save the corn for cool ranch doritos

We deserve a government that enables folks like Dr. Marvel to do the best possible science.

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

>10,000 STEM PhDs have left federal service over the past year (including 30% of the federal colleagues with whom I’ve worked closely). Those still left are holding federal science together with duct tape. What an extraordinary act of sabotage against the American people.

jump scare

war bad (we should do less)

monitoring the situation

I’m in DC this week advocating for climate adaptation science, and have noticed an interesting change: last year at this time, Congressional phones were ringing off the hook. This year, every hotel is booked and security lines are around the block - people are showing up in person.

They haven't even given a reason for the war, and are asking for an amount of money that would be like funding the whole EPA for 22 years.
