I haven't been posting or streaming. The data is no longer there. The journalist and scientist have disappeared. I used to stream for hours on Twitch using a plethora of climate data from many sources. It feels gone now. It's unsettling. Trump is going to destroy climate satellites. The debris, ISS.

If Russia donates a nuclear device in space, it'll destroy countless satellites and create a massive debris field in orbit. It'll keep us from going into space. It'll keep us stuck on earth. Not even the ISS could survive against all that high speed traveling objects.

It can see what I'm uploading, the picture, even grabs the text, but complicated toolpaths are at least safe for now.

So AI can do the programming side of my job. This is the code to create a rectangle on a CNC. It even adds comments explaining each action. I'm trying to get an uploaded image cut. Maybe a band logo? Or an image of simple lines to see if it'll cut out the shapes. That'll really take my job.

warning out early enough for the campgrounds to evacuate. The Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in 45 minutes. There was no running to safety, and mostly everyone was sleeping. Everyone caught in the swell were ripped away. One woman survived going over four dams and traveled for 20 miles. (2/3)

The news is grim and it'll only become worse as the river recedes. There is a campground of 20 girls that is missing. Such horror. There should been a warning. This is what happens when you cut essential services and essential employees. 13 dead, 23 unaccounted for. (3/3)

This flooding in Texas is some of the worst I've seen in a long time. The Guadalupe River is the most dangerous river in the United States, where these floods are centered. Donald Trump has cut flood recovery, NOAA staff, storm resources that could predict this flooding event, and getting the (1/3)

It's kind of hard to do climate news when their is nothing. There is nobody. The silence is deafening. Everyone is gone. America is in big trouble regarding science and scientists. The pool is dry. This is very alarming.

We overhunt, we overfish, we overkill, we overclear. We are a pestilence that causes extinction. We are in the sixth mass extinction. Biodiversity is lost and species evolution is halted. We are in trouble.

The Trump administration terminated over 100 climate studies. This is terrible news and everything beneficial will be gutted and destroyed. No more free weather reports, right?

The platform Mastodon is silencing voices. They are suspending vital accounts. They are censoring posts. Do not trust Mastodon.

To get rid of the fraud waste and abuse in Medicaid, they're defunding the entire program. Hospitals will shut down. I was kicked off Medicaid without reason. I couldn't appeal. Millions will be in my position soon. This is not okay.

Dentistry in America is for the rich. My wife had a root canal that "didn't take" so they need to redo it with a different procedure root canal and replace the crown. We were quoted almost $3,000 and that was only an early estimate without the crown. We decided on extraction. The pain is extreme.

The passenger pigeon going extinct was the first sign of the six mass extinction. We are watching biodiversity leave us. We are losing wetlands. Maybe it is too late and not enough people care.

I was kicked off Medicaid. I qualified, but instead I had to buy a $400/ month plan that supports my doctors and prescriptions. An unexpected financial burden at a time I'm just starting a new job. I couldn't appeal. If they denied my appeal, I would have to pay all that back. Scary risk.

This Golden Dome Trump is pushing will first target and down an American airliner. They have no idea what they are doing. This might be the end result everyone saw a mile away, but could do nothing to stop it. What will the FAA be like now with the idea of missiles in the air? Donald Trump is awful.

I'm buying El Creepo, Knives Out, Polkadot Cadaver, and Dog Fashion Disco albums in piecemeal on Bandcamp. I've always had the physical media, but I don't consider this double dipping. DFD and Co. are really all I listen to anymore. It's a huge playlist with no bad tracks. Check them out.

Dan @onegreatearth.bsky.social · Mar 15

When people ask me if I listen to music, I tell them I only listen to Dog Fashion Disco and Polkadot Cadaver. I'm currently collecting their albums on Bandcamp to replace my physical media. Yes, CDs. The only album I didn't use a CD was Get Possessed due to it being signed. I used to drive a lot.

It would be illegal to block him from entering office. No one is there blocking anyone. You know, kind of like DOGE has been doing.
