Aurora pics from last night! There were just enough gaps in the clouds to get some images, I couldn't really see it by eye though.

NOAA cut funding for critical parts of the tsunami and earthquake detection system in Alaska, primarily in the Aleutians. I spoke to Wash Post about negative impacts. But, hey, what are the chances of a deadly tsunami being triggered in Alaska? (Gift article, not behind paywall) ⚒️ wapo.st/4qKvavQ
This lab is key for tracking deadly waves. Its sensors are about to go offline.
After NOAA cut funding to the lab that’s been monitoring seismic activity for more than 25 years, nine stations tracking tsunami-causing earthquakes for the agency will go offline by the end of the mo...

If you take a drive in Maryland you may find yourself asking "What is the point of rocks"

Once again I am reading about how the Tacoma ASARCO smelter plumed a huge area of the south sound with lead and arsenic and despite decades of soil cleanup there's no end in sight and settlement money is projected to run out well before cleanup is anywhere close to complete

Charlie Kirk was a terrible person who stood against everything I believe in. He peddled racism, sexism, transphobia, and violence under the guise of reasonable debate. Turning Point USA is funded by corporate execs as astroturf to dismantle higher Ed and promote ghouls like Trump.

Rode the battery hybrid ferry Wenatchee today! Not sure if they actually ran it on battery (it's hard to tell) but it seems like it's working well!

This (and the similar actions by Steam) is bad for art and free expression! Not to mention the intentional side effect of LGBTQ artists often getting caught up in this kind of thing.

I will be contacting my representatives about this and you should too!

Great video about the floating bridges of Washington: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nol0...

I have personally been stuck in a traffic jam caused by a submarine multiple times so I can confirm that's a common issue lol

Seeing a lot of ads for mini "A/C" units which are actually swamp coolers (just evaporating water). They can be useful, but since this heat wave is also high humidity you have to be really careful you're not making things worse! There also much less effective when the air already has humidity in it

If you live in Washington State and go hiking like me one of your fav spots is probably on this map!

National forests provide recreation, habitat, timber, research plots, etc. This is the kind of resource that would be very very difficult to get back if we lose

So you get to send masked ICE thugs (and the military, etc.) into cities to kidnap people without consequences, but having a senator talk sternly to you gets them detained? Unbelievable
