Another benefit of the move here, getting out of that Dunning Kruger cesspool.

The climate movement’s biggest weakness What the climate movement is getting dead wrong.

In the original Vox post (this is a gift link) there are several comments about how this is a distraction from going after big oil, but the reality is that big oil and big ag are very close allies. Their goal is the status quo, where they thrive. Their strategies (and PR firms) are often the same.

Rarely is anything they show healthy even by non-vegan standards. There used to be a PBS show The Jazzy Vegetarian which made an attempt.

Will government shutdown affect National Weather Service & NC hurricane updates? Federal workers provide weather forecasts for North Carolinians. Here’s how the shutdown could affect services during hurricane season.

Reminds me of my TA days for Meteorology 206 at Iowa State. 300 testing in a large auditorium sitting a desk apart. Multiple choice tests developed from a large quality controlled database. Old tests on file in the library to counter Greeks who would steal copies to keep on file in their houses.

Movie quote of the day. β€œI have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And I’m all out of bubble gum.” Roddy Piper in They Live, a movie with metaphorical ties to today’s politics.

Next spring we’ll have a collection of natives surrounding it. It’s great to find something that performs so well in dry shade.

I don’t have berries yet but I do have a few flowers if you look closely. What a great choice for full shade.

That’s a nice color to add to the traditional orange.

I see in social media a lot of people are anti-Christian, and for understandable and legitimate reasons. But don’t lose sight of the big picture and not acknowledge there are other Christians who are not nationalists, misogynistic, racist, etc. but are leading moral causes.

Absolutely. And importantly, localize it like you do. Global is abstract but the what about my backyard is a legit question.

I gave a 50-minute talk to river levee managers on climate change using the term climate trends instead. Afterwards, the group’s Exec Director says to me, I guess we need to have an organizational discussion on climate change. They know what’s going on; it’s just getting over terminology.

Haven’t read this yet but I know the author and read much of his previous writings to bet this is an insightful look into what has been and is going on in the rural Midwest (and similarly elsewhere).

I have updated my earlier article to include recent reporting from Politico that OMB is including plans for mass federal layoffs in its shutdown guidance to agencies that could potentially impact NOAA and other science entities. Link to Politico article in post: tinyurl.com/bdedmty4
