1/ Good paper by Alexander Kaurov and @naomioreskes.bsky.social, pulls together many threads: The Maturation of Scientific Evidence of Anthropogenic Climate Change: hgss.copernicus.org/preprints/hg... I especially liked Figure 5, which shows timelines usually ending in "globally robust" (diamond).

The obfuscation was always the point. You can get away with anything if you manage to attach it to a conspiracy theory because most "thinking people" are inherently hostile to the very idea of conspiracies.

prosecutors in Nigeria allege that a man showed up at a government building, gave himself a job that didn't exist, claimed an office was now his, and somehow got other people to fund his expenses. they say this is illegal, yet cats do this to us every day and are CELEBRATED

Freya, a fluffy gray cat, lounges imperiously in a woven basket by a glass door, one paw hanging over the edge as she stares at the camera with a stern, unimpressed expression.

British mathematician & physicist Phyllis Nicolson co-developed the Crank–Nicolson method, a foundational algorithm in numerical analysis. Her contributions during/after WWII laid the groundwork for modern computational science, fluid dynamics & heat transfer modeling. Born #OTD 1917. #WomenInSTEM

A black-and-white portrait of British mathematician and physicist Phyllis Nicolson (born Phyllis Lockett, 1917–1968). The head-and-shoulders shot is against a clean, plain, and bright studio background with no visible objects. Nicolson is posed facing forward with a subtle, pleasant smile and bright, intelligent eyes. She wears her dark, wavy hair styled in a mid-century chin-length cut with volume around the ears and curls framing her face. Her attire is a simple, light-colored collared shirt. The overall mood is dignified, optimistic, and intellectual. The composition utilizes soft lighting that minimizes harsh shadows, highlighting her features cleanly. This image holds historical significance, capturing a pioneering woman in STEM whose wartime and postwar contributions co-developing the Crank–Nicolson method laid foundational work for modern computational science.

Realize that people in the US have been under siege, for over a century, by recommendation systems (in all their various shapes & forms) intended to give us more of what we crave by cynical people who want to gain power or make money from us.
