Is Donald Trump putting his thumb on the scale for Paramount-Skydance CEO David Ellison in this bidding war?

Perhaps because of Paramount's $16 MILLION donation to Trump's Presidential Library?

This reeks of corruption.

Billion year old shallow water stromatolitic carbonates contact metamorphosed. Green layers with diopside and occasional grossular garnet. Sedimentary layers are preserved, including ripples! Franklin Mountains, El Paso, Texas.

Texas A&M is no longer a "university". It's a Vacation Bible School with a football team and parking problems.

This doesnโ€™t mean we shouldnโ€™t have tried, itโ€™s just that even success required overshoot (ie, missing the target). And because itโ€™s been framed as a โ€œgame overโ€ threshold, media coverage of 1.5 has contributed to the idea that climate action is now pointless. That is not, and will never, be true.

Every Austin Public Library cardholder gets one free 3D print per month down at the central library branch. Guess what Iโ€™m using mine for?

Anyone have someone in Chicago that I could send one to?

USAID is still gone, no other country has shown either the will or the ability to fill in the services whose disappearance is going to kill millions of people, and no one in the media or political class cares that we are going to kill more people than the Holocaust before this is over ๐Ÿ‘

This is literally treated as radical, outside-the-bounds of normal political discourse.

But Elon Musk gets $1,000,000,000,000.

Enough to by every unhoused person in America a $1.3 million home.

Enough to cover federal spending on school lunches for 57 years.

Those of us who worked with USAID and in global health more broadly warned of this- shouting, screaming into the void. The administration- at every level- understood this would happen. Itโ€™s unconscionable.

If you want something to say to people who badmouth socialism, try these:
1. It isn't communism. It works in a democracy.
2. It's the radical idea that individual wealth isn't the primary goal of society.
3. It doesn't take your money. It makes sure everyone has what they need as a baseline.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Reminded of a lesson I learned ages ago, in my 20s: if you act like you did something wrong, people will assume you did, even though you didn't. Be unapologetic in your beliefs, and people will respond.

Topography (and bathymetry) map of southern and interior Alaska along with a bit of the Gulf of Alaska. Turquoise wrenches mark locations of hardware stores scattered throughout the region.  Two are off of the road system, so all products have to be brought in via plane or boat.  Visits to those stores were particularly expensive.

Hardware stores I have visited/spent too much money in while doing fieldwork in southern and interior Alaska. Maybe one day I'll make it through a trip without needing to stop at a hardware store (but probably not).

Remember, they're currently arguing that Biden's pardons are illegitimate because he signed the actual forms with an autopen.

Trump, meanwhile, repeatedly insists he knows nothing at all about one of his very controversial pardons. Never heard of the guy!

Sorta seems like a problem.

I'm pretty confident that certain online people are going to be cheering about how they were right all along on Nanotyrannus. Their take will be that they were right all along and their arguments, based on private specimens of uncertain provenance, photos of things without scale bars, and ideas...

Be very clear when you talk about this with people: the core of this conflict is that Democrats want Americans to be able to afford healthcareโ€ฆ and Republicans donโ€™t.

Every time I post a picture of a seismic signal, I am using #python software. Please read this thread from @python.org (I here have screenshotted the three posts that I think contain what you need to know.)
I applaud the Python Software Foundation for taking this stand.

Voting for the first politician who promises to immediately shoot these out of orbit

Bad for stargazing, for wildlife (streetlights alone are terrible for migrating birds, wtf would these do), even for the users (terrible for cortisol regulation, just what we needโ€” more stressed, ill rich people)
