I’ve had an insanely busy day, but I’m getting around to digging through the Epstein File release.

Lot of redactions so far.

Trump is a criminal, through and through. He knows we know it. He knows we can't or won't do anything about it. He's hiding the Epstein Files because he's all over them and he knows MAGA likes it when he lies and gets away with crimes. They think it makes him "tough".

Let the chips fall where they may.
Scientists are supposed to be happy when their predictions are skillful, right?

Why do I not feel happy?

Another remarkable spike in temperature is ongoing across the northernmost portions of the #Arctic, with a poleward surge of heat and moisture from the Atlantic. Also note the clear warm Arctic, cold continent temperature anomaly pattern.

My first opinion piece for my Public Voices on Technology in the Public Interest fellowship was just published in the South Florida Sun Sentinel:

Deep-sea mining cannot ignore environmental concerns

Deep-sea mining cannot ignore environmental concerns | Opinion
A deep-sea ecologist writes that the United States’ new rush to allow deep-sea mining raises significant environmental concerns with little to show for it.

Oh no... Seeing the direct tweet is even more frightening. Every day is a new crisis, and the repercussions are unimaginable.
An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth

Central California is currently experiencing one of the most remarkable temperature inversions I've ever seen in this part of the world. The Central Valley remains miserably damp & chilly under dense fog layer, but it's balmily warm & sunny just 2,000ft up nearby mountain slopes!

Point of contention here. People for years have had access to tremendous info & knowledge no one before them had easy access to

The result has been people actively getting less intelligent, believing more nonsense, and viewing intelligence/competence as conspiracy or, at the least, of less value
That's what software has always been, optimize tasks.

Now your boys will have access to every library in the world Everything they are curious about and want to learn, they can find out more from LLMs. As with every generation , they will invent new products, services and who knows what else
I agree with your statement Mark. I use Ai for a lot of menial tasks that used to suck up 5-10 hours a week. But I can't help but think of my 2 boys (15 & 13) and if this is truly the future. So a vast amount of graduates will all essentially do the same job for different companies.

Look, people, there is no evidence that Senator Tom Cotton was caught pleasuring himself while watching the video of those survivors clinging to a portion of a wrecked boat until they were murdered by a second missile.

There's just no truth to that at all. Stop saying it.

⚡️Projections starting to come in calling it for Van Epps 🤖 , despite a huge, very respectable overperformance from Aftyn Behn that speaks volumes about the stiff, angry winds Republicans face the coming midterms. #TN7

Kornacki just called TN-07 special election for Van Epps.

It was a privilege to have @standupforscience.bsky.social’s first official endorsement be @aftynbehn.bsky.social—a true pro-science fighter. She got a Trump +22 district down to single digits, which is huge! I’m proud of our work and hers.

Megyn Kelly says that simply murdering the survivors of a strike on a Venezuelan fishing boat isn't enough. She would prefer that they be subjected to extended torture to heighten their pain and agony. Megyn has captured the essence of what it means to be MAGA.

When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends.

This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.
