Meme. Painting of a medieval abbot. He's standing and holding a little red book, which is open in his hand. He has a long white beard, and the hair on the side of his head sweeps over his ears like the tide sweeps over a sandbar. He is bald, and there is a fine patina of light dancing across his head. He is wearing a dark grey robe, with the hood thrown back, and next to him is the staff of his office. Behind is head is a yellow halo, so you know he's esp. holy. He is looking down towards the book, but not actually at it. It seems like he was reading, but got distracted by something on the floor a little in front of him. His expression is calm, so it's not anything wild like a group of rabbits ritualistically sacrificing a sparrow. More like he's seen a piece of cheese, and the abbot can't quite recall when last he had cheese. Later, idly, he'll pick it up and realize that it's lint from his socks. Meme text reads: "I'm a medieval monk Everything's about sex, really"

Lent begins this week. And if you're a medieval English abbot that means one thing: eel-rents!

At the start of Lent tenants all over England came to pay their yearly rent in eels. Hundreds of thousands of eels.

But how? Why?

Well...it's about sex & availability, you see. 1/7

Western US gripped by extreme snow drought: ‘I’ve never seen a winter like this’ States brace for less water and fire risks as Oregon, Colorado and Utah report lowest statewide snowpack since 1980s

“The snowpack is essentially as bad as it’s ever been in recorded history for the time of year in at least some portion of every single western US state,” @ucanr.edu climate scientist Daniel Swain @weatherwest.bsky.social said. @gabriellecanon.bsky.social

hey hivemind - how do you keep google folders organized and how do you access them? I seem to have a lot of google drives across a lot of projects, and navigating to the right place seems weirdly complicated for me. TIA for tips.

Also, thanks, but please don't tell me to use something else.

Insurance is about transfer of risk. Now want to reduce risk. It's a complete shift. But insurers have catalyzed society responses to risk before.

Imagine providing insurance in a state where one event can wipe out 45 years of profit for your company.

While there *is* evidence of both "wetter wets" & "drier dries" in warming climate, temperatures are going almost universally in one direction: Up. We're just not seeing "colder colds."

Some interesting potential Arctic-related caveats still remain TBD, but that doesn't change big picture.

The 2025 @aaup.org Faculty in the South Survey showed 25% of respondents had actually applied for a job in another state. Now a Chronicle survey says half of faculty nationwide have at least considered it. Deep morale issues. www.chronicle.com/article/what...

Put another way, we could get rid of corn ethanol, switch 30% of the freed-up farmland to solar to generate 100% of US electricity, and use the other 70% of the freed-up land for whatever we want.

One of the most surprising things I've learned from my research is that "how hot it's gotten so far" doesn't tell us much about "how hot it's going to get eventually". Long-ago, really weird climates can tell us a lot more about where we're headed.
