Yikes!

Broken Eggs, by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, 1756

Indeed. 😀

Let's review the timeline.

(1) Goodstein ruled against Trump's illegal demand for voter info.

(2) Harmeet Dhillon at DoJ said "nothing will stop us" about the case.

(3) Stephen Miller called judges insurrectionists.

(4) A day later, Goodstein's house gets bombed.

This is stochastic terrorism.

Had my 35th high school reunion yesterday. It was a lot of fun.

Always get the window seat.

Especially when flying in the western US.

I haven't read or listened much to Goodall over the years (for no particular reason), so I was utterly unprepared for the love, peace, caring, and jettison the despots into space on a one-way rocket trip.

Oh yes, I’ve heard about that project! Cool stuff.

I’ve got friends that do fish work on the San Juan.

I’m jealous of them.

Yeah. It’s makes birding annoying.

“What’s that?l”

“Oh, stuff IN my eye, horribly out of focus.”

This is the 1st time I've heard this expressed this well.

I think it’s hail but yeah, really cool!

I’m pretty sure this is hail on the field. Go Rebels!

Had a chance to visit the Paris "sewer museum" - Musée des Egouts de Paris - last week. Wish more places had them. It's literally a curated walk through part of the sewer system, smells included, and does a great job explaining cholera as a driving force in building and what it takes to maintain.

Jane did activism right. She could have put on a hoodie and joined Animal Liberation Front and then kicked in the door of a lab to save 10 chimps. But she knew there were thousands that needed help and that would be it. So she leaned on science and advocated and educated. She saved thousands.

A graphic that reads Happy Ctenophore Day in glowing pink text twice between three rows of different ctenophore species. The top row is lobate ctenophores including Bolinopsis microptera, Leucothea pulchra, Mnemiopsis leidy, and the bloody belly comb jelly Lampocteis. The second row has three different Beroe species. The lowest row has Pleurobrachia bachei, Dryodora glandiformis, red-x, and Euplokamis dunlapae.

Happy Ctenophore Day!

Asking “is the postal service profitable?” is a new thing

If you visit a 1950s post office it looks like a Greek temple. They have statues of eagles. There’s a big mural of a flying woman holding a cornucopia. They didn’t whine “is the bronze bas-relief of Prosperity profitable?”

Climate scientists raise a middle finger to Trump's censorship efforts Hundreds are collaborating to make sure accurate data is available to the public.

Researchers across the US and the world who raced to protect climate data, public reports and other information from the Trump administration’s budget cuts, firings, and scrubbing of federal websites are launching their own climate information portals.

From our friends at @insideclimatenews.org:

I saw a coop flush a flock of white-crowned sparrows into a sliding glass door. Well, most of the sparrows flushed away from the door, one screwed up and hit the glass and the coop caught it before it the ground.

It looked deliberate and was totally badass.

On the Mohs scale?

Never mind. Forget I asked.

Sometimes people have prøn accidentally play on an unexpected Bluetooth speaker.

Today it was me but it “Like A Sturgeon” by the NE Ohio Regional Sewer District.

So sorry to the Charleston West All Hand Car Wash guys. 😬🤣

Right in the feels.

Anyone: Why are there suddenly so many AHDH diagnoses? Dr. Jen: Same reason there are suddenly more stars after we built telescopes.

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

You know what, I'm just going to say this. Crocodilian vs shark is interesting for the many ways in which the two differ, but also the few, broad ways that they're similar.

I admit I have been a bit salty this week. Shutdowns are hard. Potential for RIF is even harder.

My focus is still conservation. With so much lawlessness by those in charge, I have lost focus.

Here’s the secret: it all matters.

We are the solution.
We must show up.

It takes all of us.
