I thought Crawford would win a close fight by frustrating Canelo, but that was something else. What a legend.

That was incredible. What a fighter, as good as they get

I think Pittsburgh saw it. They weren't happy to see him leave.

The craziest thing about this Steelers-Jets game is that it feels like a really high-quality game between two good teams.

For sure, happy for Fields, honestly. Hope this is a sign of the kind of year he's going to have.

Rodgers is looking pretty good, though. Our front 7 on defense is an absolute mess in this first half.

An unexpected green roof benefit: purging urban rainfall of practically all microplastics In a laboratory-scale study, green roof mockups kept 97.5 percent of microplastic particles out of runoff

In a laboratory-scale study, green roofs captured 97.5% of microplastic particles in soil keeping them out of runoff, in addition to substantial heating and cooling benefits.

A tonne of fossil carbon isn’t the same as a tonne of new trees: why offsets can’t save us Labor must resist the false promise of carbon offsets in its safeguard mechanism. The only thing that matters is actually cutting emissions

“Storing carbon in plants is not equivalent to keeping it stored in fossil fuels (by not burning those fossil fuels in the first place)."

Oh wow, I will have to check that out myself!

I am such a sucker for the deliberate, almost quiet, interpretations. I'm thinking mostly of Richter's renditions (late 1970s) that begin from an extraordinarily slow, mournful initial gesture, gradually building in passion until the final few notes just float away. Truly glorious stuff.

The world is a mess and this sentiment is trite, but Clair de Lune is just a perfect work of music composition. Five minutes of the sublime.

“McDonalds workers in Denmark make more than Honda workers in Alabama” is such a key point. It’s the institutions, stupid.

today we will all read imbens 2021 on statistical significance and p values, which is a strong contender for having the best opening paragraph of any stats paper

Inspired by the recent sessions on social networks at the @geographers.bsky.social annual meeting, Dr. Walther argues that the growing focus on networks in geography should lead to more theorizing of space

Undocumented workers are bad, so let’s have teenagers replace them working overnight so they can fall asleep in school, because who needs education when they can work for sweatshop wages?

Eastern KY activists bought land where feds wanted to build a prison Rep. Hal Rogers has wanted another prison in eastern Kentucky for years. Local and national activists say the new land owners have better plans for Letcher County.

Times are bleak, it’s true. But people are still out here doing incredible work now, when it matters most.

Activists in KY bought land slated for a new prison, and will now fill it with native plants and use it as an intertribal gathering location.

sreenshot from the new york times reporting that Stanford University’s provost is talking about how the loss of funding from national institutes of health funding will cost the university $160 million. that’s not the way to get this changed — the people think “stanford is rich; no big deal.” leaders need to talk about what this will cost the public

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care!

EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

Hey #WildlifeDisease & #conservation folk, please check out our survey on attitudes to parasite conservation.

Are parasites important for biodiversity, would you remove them to protect host welfare, or something more nuanced? We want to hear all views to improve guidance for practitioners 🪱🧪🌍🧵1/n

NOAA Employees Told to Pause Work With ‘Foreign Nationals’ An internal email obtained by WIRED shows that NOAA workers received orders to pause “ALL INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENTS.”

By definition, numerical weather models require international data. The atmosphere knows no geopolitical boundaries: any model that begins and ends at its country’s border is unable to generate reliable predictions until after a weather system crosses its boundaries. Which defeats the purpose!
