And 85% say treating people with kindness.
Yet, about 60% of Christians voted for Donald Trump. edition.cnn.com/election/202...

How many stories did the NYT publish on the Koch tea party protests?
(Jon Stewart had an interesting comparison that the TP had just hundreds of protestors.)

idk why one-in-five *Democrats* are "not sure" if the No Kings protests last Saturday were mostly violent. Do they only read the NYT?

Vienna waits for you! #EGU26

Sigh

New Zealand defense minister meeting the Trump cabinet and other hangers-on.

Just. Great. The one country that seemed normal-ish.

Sadly... <looks at Trump's DHS detaining Green Card-holders and arresting people coming for naturalization interviews in the US>

Yikes

I told you guys these people think immigrant women are animals who don’t need maternity leave, but you refused to believe me.

I warn you not to work at a very high income job for 3-4 years and take a well-deserved sabbatical off your own money 😂

Are there data quality issues? Yes. Could more affordable sensors help, if carefully calibrated? Sure.

Will accusing the government of deception, based on dodgy understanding, fix any of these issues? I don't think so.

The Paris Agreement is for climate and India's commitments are for CO₂, not air pollutants monitored by the CPCB.
The WHO Air Quality Guidelines are not Standards and are not enforceable anywhere.

Also, worries about improper CAAQMS placement seem to be overblown. (I had an RA analyse the data.)

Unreliable air and noise data, real-time deception The experiences of Delhi and Lucknow are a warning that environmental monitoring cannot be treated as a bureaucratic formality

"Weak monitoring risks India’s global commitments (Paris Agreement, World Health Organization (WHO) Air Quality Standards), and priorities in the process." - written by people who don't understand what they are talking about and probably hurt the cause more than help. #IndiaAQ

Kenny Loggins Slams Donald Trump for Using ‘Danger Zone’ in AI Video Bombing No Kings Protesters With Poop: ‘I Request That My Recording Is Removed Immediately’ Kenny Loggins has spoken out against Trump using his song "Danger Zone" in a bizarre AI video of him bombing No Kings protesters with fecal matter.

“I can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together” - Kenny Loggins wants his music removed from "King Trump shits on Americans"

Salesforce CEO apologizes for saying Trump should send National Guard to San Francisco In a post on X, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he regrets comments he made in support of President Trump sending federal troops to San Francisco.

"after the largest and safest Dreamforce in our history, I do not believe the National Guard is needed to address safety in San Francisco" - Marc Benioff now, after pushback and the resignation of a Salesforce board member.

ICE agents point gun at state Rep. Hoan Huynh in Albany Park Hoan Huynh was alerting the community on the Northwest Side to the presence of federal agents when they blocked his vehicle on a residential street and an agent pointed a gun at him and others in the ...

Story:

his rights violated — are your rights violated. you’ll see.

this is so obviously the correct thing to do that I have never cared less whether a court has any actual jurisdiction or authority to do anything

Oh my.

Platner? I hardly...

Happy with the results of your racism I mean sorry economic anxiety/price of eggs, White Americans?

Well, he's definitely the smart one. We are the idiots for re-electing the greedy shameless insurrectionist.

Very possibly no political official in history has made so much corrupt money at a pace like this. Mobutu and Marcos looted a greater share of their countries’ wealth over decades but in absolute terms and in speed, Trump shamelessly puts them to shame.

Ughhhh have they learned nothing

Yikes.

Rain, rain, come again... Fast fast fast.

Duckworth-Lewis is a terrible system. How does anyone look at a target revised from 306 in 40 overs to 234 in 20 overs and say that is fair?

Or, say, a target revised to 22 runs off 1 ball.

Surely, there are other Democrats in Maine?? (Maybe @hilaryl.bsky.social can come back from Canada??)

Well, neither of them wanted to shit on the American public afaik, so there's that.

Very exciting to see geostationary air quality data to become available over Europe! Lots to learn!
