"Prepare for bedlam. Each El Niño event in recent decades has gotten steadily worse, because each one drives the temperature to a new record. That’s because each is super-imposed on a higher baseline temperature that comes with the steady warming of the planet."

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

“ESSA B-57 N1005 in flight” a great shot of the aircraft used by the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA), which then became the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.. (from the NOAA Digital Collections - grab it while you can, www.noaa.gov/digital-coll...) 1/2

colour photo of a B-57 variant in flight, banking to the camera high in a cloudy blue sky, with the undercarriage down. the aircraft is silver, with orange lightning bolts down the fuselage and wingtip pods. “UNITED STATES WEATHER BUREAU” is written in large lettering along the fuselage. there is also a black “dog nose”, and striped probes on each wing

Perhaps it's now time for organisations whose core missions include promoting evidence-based inquiry (e.g., universities and their academic units, learned societies, research centres, some think-tanks) to stop using X altogether to platform their work? Asking for (quite) a (lot of) friends.

Citizen Vince by @jesswalter.bsky.social. It’s tough crime, featuring a not-so-tough criminal; time and place (Spokane, 1980) are vivid; there are dashes of tragedy and comedy, and a thematic question – whether a criminal can ever be a citizen – pokes through the drama. Loved it, highly recommended.

Promoting your books on social media is almost unavoidable for authors, & it probably helps sales a bit. But it's also true that an author is the least effective person to directly promote their book. Literally anyone else is better. Obviously I want you to buy it, I'm making a commission.

Sending love out to every author who learned that their publisher’s marketing plan for their new book was to have an intern visit a remote woodland in winter, dig a hole in the frozen earth, and whisper their book’s title once, ‘neath the crescent moon.
