I did abandoned mine closures on the neighboring National Forest before DOGEd into "voluntary" early retirement. There are 1000's of these. It was a collateral duty to 1000's of active mining claims, exploration drilling, oil and gas, sand and gravel, geologic hazards and paleontology. All just me.

As a person who suffered a V Fib cardiac arrest and whose life was saved by coworkers who knew how to use an AED, I'd like to use Senator Fetterman's recent episode to raise awareness about this condition and to thank those who saved him, even if conditions surrounding it were Abbie Normal.

It's my understanding that beef prices are high due to the meat packing industry not domestic supply. No surprise he is undercutting American producers to help meat packers. Consumer prices won't go down regardless. They'll keep voting for him all the way to foreclosure. share.google/MWSvK4MTKWYv...

What if we just make new coal to replace a tiny fraction of the coal we dig up? www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...

The thought police only have jurisdiction over actual thoughts. This like when actual police pull over a SovCit going 15mph on I-95 in a car with cardboard plates and and no windshield.

Numbers quoted say net reduction from this plant is roughly 2 traincars of carbon in 13 months (net 205 tons). If it works at full capacity it would be about 100 train cars/yr or a single trainload. About 1 day of coal consumption at a single thermal coal power plant. www.ft.com/content/fa4c...

Our tax dollars should not be spreading lies and hatred. We deserve a government, and a Democratic Party, that will work for all of us. You can help build that world by supporting my Congressional campaign: secure.actblue.com/donate/bab-b...

Very powerful. Hopefully this spreads to every protest across the country.

I think RFK Jr. is on to something with the mitochondira. He is so awful that all mothers since time immemorial cry out in unison at the cellular level for the safety of their sons and daughters, as if the Venus of Willendorf herself is taking all of her children by the hand and crossing the street.

The 1872 mining law has resulted in high-grading of valuable deposits of non-renewable resources. We need big changes to extract these minerals, with a focus on re-mining "mature" deposits to turn environmental liabilities into assets. I have little hope the grifter-congressional complex can do it.

It is pretty funny that he doesn't believe in Elon's camel miniaturization project.

I took early retirement from the Forest Service. I'm not a "primary firefighter", but I certainly did fire work, like advising on where coal seams ignitions are likely to occur, or where firefighters are likely to encounter abandoned mine hazards. www.propublica.org/article/fore...

Hi. I'm Don Isuzu.

The gerrymander in Texas is constitutional. The ones in New York and California are not. by Sam Alito, Amy Coney Barret, Neil Gorsuch, Bret Kavanaugh, John Roberts, and Clarence Thomas

Please comment to save public scoping of actions on National Forests. I worked for BLM and Forest Service for 2+ decades. There are many valid critiques of the NEPA process. This won't solve any of them, but will result in half baked projects that cause harm, only to subsequently fail anyway.

Time for Colorado to gerrymander itself. #COmander.

I rarely engaged in primary fire ops, but did have a red card. I did a lot of work w/ coal ignitions, keeping firefighters safe from abandoned mines. I extinguished lots of camp fires and called in smokes from lightning storms. On top of my regular geology work www.propublica.org/article/fore...

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

I know Beth and what excites me is that we need somebody who can see through the bullshit big tech is bombarding us with because of decades of experience. I want somebody who fights for me and not who fights to make it easier for tech to exploit me.

“Ms. Loomer writes about wildlife and Spaniards.”

A lot of vulnerable Trump voters who stand to lose Medicaid coverage, have increased cost of living, and lose jobs made informed voting decisions. They just value seeing those they dislike hurt in a spectacle of cruelty and are willing to pay a hefty premium for it in real economic terms.

There's an oddly-shaped hole in this industry rag analysis of a pending oil patch labor crunch, and if you squint your eyes just right on a full moon, it looks exactly like the silhouette of 50,000 or so undocumented workers. oilprice.com/Energy/Energ...

Ultra-high strength concrete may be a lot better for bunkers than regular concrete, but framing this as a technological arms race between concrete & bunker busters ignores the relatively low tech "just build it deeper in bedrock than a bomb can ever get" solution. 1/ www.yahoo.com/news/first-a...

Last week, I went to Mesa Verde Nat'l Pk, at prime tourist season. They say all the budget cuts, ice raids & saber rattling will hurt internat'l tourism from Canada, Europe & China, but I took this photo on one of the most popular trails & there were just as many foreigners as there were Americans.

Trump supported the use of asbestos in his 1997 book The Art of the Comeback, and has blamed the mob for its reputation as a carcinogen.

Filing a mining claim could save the public lands you love. This bill sells off every Americans birthright. For $274 you can gain exclusive rights to all the hard rock minerals. In this thread I will show you how you can file a mining claim. 1/? www.fieldandstream.com/stories/cons...

The other way of looking at this is the staggering number of real-life YouTube comedians who flunk the comedy Turing test.

Agreed.

This will ruin the mgmt of some of America's flagship National Parks. It can't be merely an oversight by some DOGE bros looking at spreadsheets canceling shit and not knowing wtf they are doing. If Utah's congr. deleg. can't fix it, it's because they don't want to. www.moabtimes.com/articles/bui...
