Imagine my disappointment when I realized that these golf tees were not called “wood bois” and the bag was merely bilingual

Wild to have travelled in one day from a city in the middle of a coastal lagoon to the alpine areas/the Dolomites and back. The parallels between Italy and California don’t end with their climates.

I am still very bummed that Elon Musk bought Twitter and turned it into X because that website was super fun during the few years when the moderators did not tolerate Nazis.

We bought a stupid fancy house with a stupid expensive oddly-sized gas range/oven so unfortunately we’re a long way off from induction. But we have it at the cabin! Some pans heat oddly on it and I haven’t really mastered that yet 🥴

Feels like the summer is beginning already up here and it’ll be one of the longest of my life. In 2011 and 2023, there was almost still this much 👆 snow in June. The rest of the water year is going to be rough. Shades of 2015. We’re lucky we had two “average” years before this one.

Here’s the southeast view from High Camp at Palisades yesterday. There had been about 2 feet of new snow over the previous 48 hrs, and you can see a lot of that in the foreground. But look beyond that, toward the lake 😞

Earlier today, I was asked to comment on the current state of American disaster preparedness. That was already a fraught question, even prior to present chaos, but then I saw today's headlines. 🫠 "Top Disaster Response Official Claims He Teleported to a Waffle House"

Screenshot of a Rolling Stone headline that reads "Top Disaster Response Official Claims He Teleported to a Waffle House: FEMA's Gregg Phillips says he has experienced multiple "scary" episodes of sudden teleportation."

The US already makes 96% of the N fertilizer we use. The fertilizer we import the most is POTASSIUM. Which we get from CANADA. When we import phosphorus, we get 98% of it from PERU. Not Iran. So the reason we've had trouble getting those is TARIFFS. farmdocdaily.illinois.edu/2025/07/us-f...

Chart from linked article, showing what % of of each major fertilizer type (nitrogen, phosphorus, & potassium) the US imports, 2000-2024.

N has gone down from 21% imported to 6%. Phosphorus is a little up from 2% to 13%. Potassium has gone from 76% to 94%.

Record warmth across much of the West this winter has left the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains with very little snow. “That is the classic global warming mountain snowpack signature.” @weatherwest.bsky.social Graphics by @sean-greene.bsky.social www.latimes.com/environment/... @latimes.com

Sierra Nevada snowpack stands at about 56% of average for this time of year

The snowpack in the Upper Colorado River Basin is one of the smallest recorded in the last three decades.

We *ARE* the MTV generation. No summer, musically, will EVER top the summer of 1993, when “Nuthin But A G Thang” dominated MTV and we (all the 12 YOs) learned simultaneously about Parliament *and* Olde English.

MTV ends tomorrow. We both turned 44 this year. MTV had an indelible impact on me: from watching Madonna’s blasphemous “Like A Prayer” video to watching Kurt Loder report Kurt Cobain’s death, seeing Pedro die of AIDS on the Real World, and then watching the resurgence of pop via the TRL era…
