A Look Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan Lair

In Epstein's Manhattan townhouse, there is a framed photo showing Epstein with Donald Trump and his then-girlfriend, Melania Knauss.

The photo was cropped to exclude Ghislaine Maxwell.

Framed photos of Steve Bannon were kept in at least two rooms in the mansion. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/u...

The Republican campaign to stop the U.S. EPA from protecting the climate » Yale Climate Connections An audacious effort to destroy climate regulations is likely headed for a showdown at the Supreme Court.

I read EPA’s 302-page proposal to nuke the endangered endangerment finding so that you don’t have to, and wrote about what the insanity all means for @climateconnections.bsky.social. Thanks to @gregdotson.bsky.social, @hausfath.bsky.social, @michaelemann.bsky.social for the input. Article & 🧵(1/14):

"they scoured my paper on the performance of climate models to find the one figure (deep in the supplementary materials) to reinforce the point they were trying to make, and never actually referred to the broader conclusion of the paper that old models had by-and-large performed quite well"

hot take from the ICECHIP "recap" :
yes, size matters, but hardness might matter even more...

the more you know...

all the science, without bloviated chaser guy screaming about gorilla hail or anything like that - these peeps are awesome :)

After 42 days and 15,000 + miles driven, #ICECHIP completed 24 IOPs across 11 states, including within 75 miles from both the Mexico and Canada borders. This totaled more than 10,000 hailstones collected by our teams while data was gathered on different types of hailstorms!

I rode along with the meteorologists chasing the world's most extreme hail storms across the Great Plains in a massive effort improve our forecasts of these damaging events. Thanks to all involved in @nsficechip.bsky.social for having us. Had a hail of a good time. 🧪🌩️🌪️

More damaging than tornadoes, hail may finally get the scientific attention it deserves With drones, mobile radars, and 3D printers, first major field campaign in 45 years to bring hail research “into the 21st century”

"things I found while looking at other things" 2024: www.science.org/content/arti...

largest hail I've witnessed: Arvada, CO, '83 or '84, grapefruit size, felt like an alien invasion. thankfully(?) I owned no car or home to worry over - sure screwed up the bus schedule that day tho

Time series graph showing the duration of longest heatwave event in Sodankylä Tähtelä. The values range generally between 0 and 14, but in 2025 the heatwave has now lasted for 26 days.

The heatwave in Sodankylä has now lasted for 26 days.

This is probably not only the longest heatwave in Lapland, but also the longest heatwave ever observed in Finland.

Note that here a heatwave is defined with 3 consecutive days above 90th percentile, which is scientifically robust definition.

priceless

This account is amazing, folks & worth a follow

NASA Video Authentically Shows 'Plasma Wall' Spotted on the Sun? The sun is made of a hot ionized gas known as plasma, which constantly drives ever-changing conditions on the sun.

FYI, this is actual data from the SDO satellite but not processed in the standard way. I think some of the blur/shimmer effects may not be real, or caused by compression. Snopes has an entry on it : www.snopes.com/fact-check/n...

antone who is surprised has not been paying attention

also, it mainly references gen-z, but this applies to anyone getting news, reading posts on social media

like the old adage "measure twice, cut once" - verify, verify

When Gen Z is the source of the misinformation it consumes With their penchant for social media and memes, young people are interacting with a new and dangerous internet space.
