So sad to hear that the iconic, trailblazing, Apollo 11 moon landing software engineering lead, Margaret Hamilton, is no longer with us. Love this image of her, standing next to a print out of the software that landed Buzz Aldrin and Neil Amstrong on the moon! 👩‍🔬🔭🛰️🧪 ℹ️: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We talked about possible heating of the planet in 74 in a geography course I took, but I had no idea the risk looked significant to Shell in the 60s! Knowingly killing us all for profit.

Little Free Pantry update: It’s been 9 months since I flipped from books to food. Never expected to go on this long. Been wondering if I should maybe change back. But I found a hand written note yesterday, “Thank you. You’ve kept me fed during some hard times.” Ok then, let’s keep going.

This is what it looks like to take wildlife collisions seriously. There are >40 wildlife overpasses and underpasses with fencing along the Trans-Canada Highway near Banff, Alberta. They’ve reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions by 80%, saving human & animal lives while promoting connected ecosystems.

In case you have forgotten who Andy Kim is, he’s the rep who came into the Capitol building after Trump’s J6 goons had trashed it, got down in his hands and knees, and cleaned it up. And ICE have gassed him. They have peppersprayed the true patriot who thinks American ideals are worth defending.

#NASA is racing to put a nuclear reactor on the Moon. It's "safe" and "reliable". Well... in 1964 the US satellite SNAP‑9A failed, its plutonium power source burned up on re‑entry, spreading Pu‑238 worldwide which was, in later risk models, tied to thousands of extra cancers. 🧵

Fluoride in drinking water has no effect on IQ or brain function, a long-term study shows. The new research is the first to measure community water fluoridation exposure during childhood and any potential impact on cognition up to age 80. The results contradict RFK Jr. statements.

Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all. This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.

The trail above the Sutro Baths ruins at San Francisco’s dramatic Land’s End. Instead of looking at the ruins and surrounding crashing surf, this is the land above. Returns through native chaparral bushes up to tall Monterrey pines. Urban nature. Love this city.
