That “dog that hasn’t barked” email from 2011 is giving off some very Whitey Bulger and Sammy Gravano vibes. What’s worse than being in the files?!? It might be being outed as a CI who snitched to avoid being prosecuted for some very bad and embarrassing crimes

Meanwhile, Filipino dads out here explaining how the son of the aunt of a friend of the doctor that treated a manufacturer of a fishing hook used by a fisherman to catch a bangus picked every day by your dad’s uncle’s dog in the pelengke in the Philippines is your cousin.

We are so excited to share the results of this work! Annalise Guthrie’s hard work demonstrates how the loss and regeneration of deep roots can change the way deep soils are structured at a continental scale. This was such a joy to work on! @agu.org

Deep Root Loss and Regeneration in the Anthropocene Drive Continental‐Scale Changes in Deep Soil Structure
Deep root dynamics imposed by land-use change are modifying deep soil structure at the continental scale well below zones of tillage As deep roots disappear, structural unit size increases and ro...

I can just looking at them both how much they’re suffering from mitochondrial dysfunction
RFK Jr. taps his top deputy, Jim O’Neill, to be the new CDC director. Both men appear to wear skinny ties from Otaa. Otaa's ties are made in China from microfiber, a kind of plastic that, under the right conditions, can migrate to your balls.

NEW: RFK Jr's purge of CDC leadership isn't shaking Democratic Gov Jared Polis' enthusiastic support of Kennedy to lead America's health policy. Today, Polis praised his collaboration with Kennedy, saying "We hope to work on making America healthier." #copolitics

I don’t shop at Temu, and think it and things like Shein are symptoms of a larger problem, but “Temu tax” is sitting right there to use as a talking point
On Friday, the U.S. is ending its de minimis rule that made it easy for cheap goods to reach consumers. The change will affect roughly 4 million such packages processed each day.
What will the end of the 'de minimis' rule mean for U.S. consumers?

The writing has been on the wall, if you read the skinny budget and then the full budget request.
Eliminating two satellites is risky, which we saw when GOES-17 needed to be moved to standby ahead of schedule and GeoXO could be a longer program than GOES-R.
But it’s just more of the same.

This looks like a shitty patio at any city or suburban office complex where employees are lucky if they can sit and eat their food truck lunch for 20 minutes. Like, it literally reminds me of where we used to eat lunch in grad school in Kendall Square

I do fieldwork in some very remote places that have no mobile phone reception and are many hours from civilization. I’ve found this device to be super useful. It will send regular updates of your location via Iridium to a website that others can access and you could also text with it.
