That sounds great! I went to Redwoods when I was a kid and didn't appreciate it enough, I feel like I like I should go back. I needed a project after my breakup lol and I'm terrible at flying and driving but I want to get better, so this project is a real reach, but probably good for me

i think what's bothering me about the Be Nice To Claude thing is it reminds me of people who are heavily anti-abortion or heavily into animal rights. They can get as weird as they want in defense of an entity that on some level they know can't annoy them, or tell them to chill

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

after the pandemic especially there's been this idea of the body as something that has to be kept pure, optimized and overcome, safely away from the environment. AI is the purest form of this: a "brain" without a body. But it isn't a brain, which comes from the body. Important to note I think

People are dunking on this but it's correct, entirely intelligible, and makes good points. Using computer metaphors to explain the brain, while very understandable, have actually done some damage to lay understandings of biology

Latest ECMWF ensemble update is out, and outlook re: El Niño & associated regional hydroclimate impacts is even more extraordinary vs Sep. I'll discuss briefly in today's livestream, & more comprehensively next week. But odds of consequentially wet CA winter continue to rise...

Map from ECMWF ensemble update in Oct showing the likelihood of Jan-Mar precipitation being above the median. The odds are nearly 100% across all of California and much of the American Southwest, which is truly extraordinary.

Omg you are living the dream. Death valley is really underrated! I'm at half of that, trying to get Joshua tree and pinnacles in the next few months and saguaro next year though. Good luck filling in the rest!

The Gateway Arch is so clearly miscategorized! I feel like a Mississippi River National Park would fit way better. Honestly I'm sure they're all great and it's a really beautiful country, even Ohio, but it is maybe easier to sell a redwood or Half Dome. How many have you been to?

Neil hunt's nonsense pottery @nostradamnus.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

It is so funny that they're in the same category. I decided to try to make it to all the national parks recently and some of the ones in the east ... like I'm sure they're very nice, but the information about them is notably defensive

Universities have been going for the “insiders strategy” of trying to lobby quietly without making public waves. Counterfactuals are hard, but I would say the strategy has been a complete failure.

Trump is, like all people whose racism is simultaneously casual and bone-deep, racist in ways normal people don’t even know about. Brain like a slot machine for racism. Hispanics can fall real far. Black people have an extra tendon. Indians can see in the dark. Japanese people hoard matchbooks.
