I'll consider it my walk off music

Drat! I previously requested the musical heated rivalry between Blur and Oasis in June. How about the real winners of their feud: Pulp with "Common People"?

@jtkantor.bsky.social you probably have this in the mental queue based on tonight's theme, but consider this a formal request for Wolf Parade's "I'll Believe in Anything".

The oxygenation of the atmosphere was a pivotal point in Earth’s evolution. Punctuated environmental perturbations in its run-up laid the foundations for this event.

This is an absolute disaster. If we don't stop this, they will turn NSF into a pawn of the Trump administration. There will be no research on climate, biodiversity, or anything that isn't eugenics or AI or how to more efficiently destroy the planet for profit. This cannot be allowed to happen.

Even if this doesn't all happen exactly this way, parts of these directives are ruled illegal, the agency is rebuilt some years from now, etc. the damage that has been done (and is being done every day) will be felt for decades.

Our NOAA Climate Adaptation Partnership for the Northwest region was terminated this week. I'm so proud of the work we did to support the climate resilience efforts of frontline communities and Tribal Nations. And I'm deeply concerned for what the loss of this support means for NW communities.

It had great preservation, you could even see where some of the stems would have attached near trunk nodes.
Calamities fossil specimen with a thumb for scale. An indent crosses the rectangular chunk of rock about two thirds to the left, marking a trunk segment. Dark gray carbon residue covers vertical ribs from the plant's vascular system.The other side of the calamites fossil. The trunk intent is in the same place, but four circular indents are above the trunk section. These mark where branches had been on this ancient plant.

My parents were backpacking the Wonderland Trail (trail around Tahoma) that day, and got an alternate view of that particular cloud, much closer and from the East side (My photo from Teanaway Ridge, East of the Mountain). Amazing to be able to compare! Lenticular clouds are unbelievable.
View of Tahoma/Mountain Rainier, across a forest and meadow. A lens-shaped, very solid-looking white cloud is draped over the mountain, covering the top 1/3rd of it.

It looks otherworldly, like an alien ship has landed over the mountain.
