I've mostly been talking about the Trump regime's plan to dismantle NCAR, but you might be asking yourself, wtf is NCAR and why should I care? @drshepherd2013.bsky.social has got you covered here.

Gonna keep posting about this. Dismantling NCAR is stupid and dangerous; doing it as payback to the governor of Colorado is idiotic.

You can be critical as a reviewer without being an a**hole, it’s possible
Dunno who needs to hear this, but before your start writing your reviewer comments, eat a cookie. Only you can prevent rude reviews.

The fear and violence that President Trump has unleashed on our home is destroying any sense of public safety.
The Administration needs to put an immediate end to “Operation Metro Surge”.

The UN's "Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction" treaty (aka the "High Seas Treaty") is about to take effect - great! But what does it mean for scientists working in international waters? What will we need to do to be compliant and, ideally, helpful?

Just made a million paper copies for final exams. Feels like a step backwards to use so much paper, but it seems necessary. Thanks a lot AI...

Perusing Twin Cities local news, i think there’s a huge disconnect. There are schools shut down and going remote, neighborhoods that are ghost towns, because we have federal agents terrorizing the community. But it’s just a single story a day at best

Bottom line: If you're invested in AI, get out now or get used to living under a bridge.

- Forced reorg
- POs down ~ 40% (DRP, most rotators not renewed, retirements)
- Forced move (and we have to pack and clean) to a building with no furniture, little to no conference space for panels, inadequate 🛜, …)
I personally love the boxes they gave us for packing.
“Details matter” 🙃

ICE was in Cedar Riverside today. Amazing community turnout, be mindful of the layer of pepper spray in the snow all over the neighborhood

There's still a lot of confusion about the Lutsen Resort fire. People who live outside the area are confusing Lutsen Resort with Lutsen Mountains. They are two separate businesses owned by different people. I made a map that will hopefully help clarify things.

I have a product idea for middle-aged cyclists. It's like one of those hotel safes, but it only opens at a certain heart rate. You can fill it with any dessert you want. #carbsafe

A few weeks ago it was announced that the start and finish of the E3 Saxo Classic will remain in Harelbeke for the next six years.
So for this #ThrowbackThursday, let’s happily look back at the editions of the past years.

I was cold wearing a heavy jacket today (14F, 7F with the wind chill) and I saw at least four people wearing shorts outside. I'm pretty sure some native Minnesotans are actually cylons.
