Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

The potential dismantling of NCAR remains, unfortunately, a very real threat (despite falling out of the news amid everything else going on right now). I'll be discussing this more in the days to come. #SaveNCAR

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Jan. 16, 2025: A SpaceX Starship rocket explodes over the Caribbean.

Suddenly, dozens of planes in the area must scramble to get out of a newly designated FAA "debris zone."

Their passengers are now unwitting participants in a test run gone wrong. (THREAD)

Next Dem president might be tempted to look into the funding for Vought’s Center for Renewing America to see if there was some oil industry patronage involved.

Nearly all weather, climate, & natural hazard research involves NCAR in some way-either directly (as is the case with countless affiliated scientists at universities or elsewhere) or indirectly (through use of NCAR's irreplaceable community datasets, predictive models, or its computing facilities).

I'm not sure most folks are aware of the immense magnitude of loss this would entail for the global weather and climate community, and beyond. NCAR has played a greater cumulative role in advancing weather prediction and atmospheric modeling than perhaps any other single entity in the world.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It. Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

Reminder - the record heatwaves, record fires, record floods are all happening in the 'safe' degrees of climate change. We are on track to double where we are now.

A haboob, or dust storm, appears on the horizon as a brownish layer below an otherwise clear blue sky. Slightly choppy Lake Michigan waters, still quite blue, appear in the foreground. The Chicago skyline is becoming obscured. A haboob, or dust storm, nears the Chicago skyline, darkening with the sun lowering in the sky. It's a little darker brown now, still beneath a blue sky, still with a choppy Lake Michigan in the foreground. A haboob, or dust storm, encroaches now completely envelops the Chicago skyline, covered in a brown/dark brown haze. The blue skies overhead now also have a few clouds in them. The choppy Lake Michigan waters in the foreground are a little less blue as the ambient color temperature changes. A haboob, or dust storm, now fully envelops the scene. Most of the people who were in previous frames have cleared out. The entire sky is brown, an additional beach at the horizon starting to disappear and all tall buildings further distant covered.

Prague, 23 November 1911
Highly esteemed Mrs. Curie,
Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say.
But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you!? that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. However, I am convinced that you consistently despise this rabble, whether it obsequiously lavishes respect on you or whether it attempts to satiate its lust for sensationalism!
I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you, and Langevin(3) too, real people with whom one feels privileged to be in contact. If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it to the reptile for whom i

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter:

(1) your haters are trash
(2) you’re a baller, a true queen
(3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️
