After the work I did updating my Environmental Science and Natural Hazards resources pages, of course our federal government has fully embarked on a program of destroying science and education. So, more updates and if anyone has any suggestions let me know.🧪⚒️

This one is still in progress so I will probably post it again after I have done some more work, once I figure out what I want it to do.

I tend to make these over time while sitting in meetings that I don't want to be in. It helps me stay at least a little focused on the meeting.

Lithgow saying that a family friend with a trans kid came to him and literally said “please don’t do this” and he did it anyway really gives the game away. they don’t not know
Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

I don't know why people do terrible things with marshmallows to sweet potatoes when you can use blue cheese and chopped walnuts instead.

Made a basque cheesecake for Thanksgiving. Blame Great Baking Show but at least I maintained enough sanity to start with a basic one for the first time making one. Just pulled it from oven still jiggly.

Hello internets, there's a paleontological museum in danger of being closed. Please help.
Well it seems it is going to be to late for @lastweektonight.com to help with their hiatus. Any suggestions for a big sci com/science interested news account I should play with to help save PRI?
Tag them in the comments with your pitch for why they should help out this museum maybe

The Paleontological Research Institution in Ithaca, NY, has been in financial trouble for a while. I'm biased because I currently have my life-size giant snail and clam on display, but they're a bunch of great people doing great work.

I can't access this government website / data set because ...
a) of the shutdown
b) the federal governments purge of climate/environmental/natural hazard related materials
c) they moved everything, again
d) the internet gremlins have decided to mess with my head
or e) all the above.
btw-AAAAA!

On Friday, NYS DEC greenlit a Title V permit for Greenidge, an older inefficient fossil-fuel based power plant which is used to power cryptomining.
34 of 40 Title Vs in WNY are expired.
We need @governor.ny.gov to prioritize the backlog to protect our health and safety over data center profiteering!

The state Department of Environmental Conservation sometimes takes years to review air pollution permits, leaving communities at risk of harm, advocates say.

Fran Drescher's Nanny character is voicing the ethics video I am required to watch and I think my brain is melting.
I also love that I have to worry about accepting two cups of coffee from the same source and can't accept any gifts worth more than $15 while our whole government is like this. AAAA!

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I feel like this is an important aspect to emphasize, loudly, to everyone who endorsed Cuomo. they chose to side with a known sexual predator for personal gain and frankly that should be disqualifying for public office. you knew who he was and decided the women he hurt were acceptable losses
it's been a really bad long shitty time for people who care about victims of rape and sexual abuse, and those who've suffered it. drubbing someone who perpetrated it gleefully and believed he was entitled to power despite it is part of this.
