Pretty depressing day at work today with lots of staff updating their resumes as we grapple with NASA's decision to shut down Chandra, the world's only ever high resolution X-ray space telescope, still returning fabulous science discoveries. Still hoping this can be reversed
Fact checking the @UFLAC video. Firefighters are heroes; such a shame their union is spreading misinformation against a ballot measure that will save lives (and speed up emergency response).
Meanwhile, in/near Valparaiso, Chile, it unfortunately appears there has been another catastrophic fire in the wildland-urban interface with a potentially very high casualty count. Fire weather conditions were extreme & antecedent conditions very dry (at peak of Austral summer).
Russian advances in Avdiivka, which increasingly looks likely to become the first Ukrainian city to fall since the capture of Bakhmut last May, are the direct result of acute ammunition shortage — caused by the U.S. Congress withholding further military aid to Ukraine.
After gaining a foothold in the south two weeks ago, Russian forces have advanced and entered Avdiivka from the north over the past few days. Butusov and Tsaplienko both say the situation is critical. t.me/DeepStateUA/18… t.me/ButusovPlus/78… t.me/Tsaplienko/477…
I-75 in Detroit. What it looks like today vs what the Michigan DOT plans to transform it into using the funds from the “Reconnecting Communities” grant.
This rail transit project is so important for Santa Cruz County. Better transportation options are desperately needed for everyone who can't drive. It is also the only public transportation option that will have reliable travel times that will be faster than driving. 🚃
Attend the RTC Meeting this week, online or in Watsonville to get the latest update on our electric rail plan! Learn the specifics here: sccrtc.org/zeprt/
Legislative Alert 🚨🚨 APTA strongly encourages you to urge your Representatives and Senators to honor the promise of the #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw and fully fund public transit 🚌🚇 and passenger rail🚆in the FY 2024 THUD Appropriations Act > votervoice.net/PublicTranspor…
Congressman Brad Sherman met with LA Metro’s potential Sepulveda monorail contractor. He forces Metro rep to leave meeting. He provides many suggestions for contractor to make monorail alternatives more appealing to public. He says Bel Air and Sherman Oaks will oppose tunnels.
Update on Bel Air opposing subways for LA Metro’s Sepulveda project. BAA touts Congressman Sherman letter to Metro. He asks for subway that doesn’t go under Bel Air homes, if monorail’s UCLA people mover can help students, and says the cheaper it is, the sooner it can be built.
A bright and shining example of the suicidal absurdity of technocapitalist society occurs every year at this time, all across the country. 1/n
If you've been wondering why I've been somewhat less visible here, that's partly because of the "shifting winds" of social media. But also, I've been spending much effort scrambling to find some way to support my climate scientist-communicator role moving forward.

That moment when you think the Pentagon shrunk and the street lamp from Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe is in front of it.
This morning blue check accounts accounts claimed large explosions at the Pentagon. ... then the White House. Russian state media amplified the faked Pentagon image from their gold check account. The images look AI generated, as folks identified. 1/
