If you want to understand #climate first you need to understand how emissions are calculated. Let's do that with my wedding ring, my ally bracelet, and my cycling cuff.

A wedding ring on top (visual metaphor for scope 1), a paracord LGBT ally bracelet (visual metaphor for scope 2), and a high viz reflective cuff. All are sitting on a desk.

I don’t think we should be gassing up people who live in Portland like this. You’re going to get so much bad art out of that.

Pretty sure “by mistake” here means “we were screamed at by various Republican Senators and other officials and we take it back.”

OOOPS! UPDATE: Two HHS officials tell me that disease detectives, measles response officers, global health officials and the MMWR staff were laid off by mistake and will be reinstated. But Washington office is still RIFed

Sheryl Gay Stolberg @sherylnyt.bsky.social · 1d

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Some people got angry at this post a few days ago, but I don’t know what to tell you. It really sucks but false heroes give false hope. Pritzker has said some great things and his lawsuits vs feds seems righteous but having HIS cops brutalize people makes a joke of it.

Are you stopping them? Doesn’t look like it.

Analysis is 100% right but it’s important not to blow smoke when your citizens are getting brutalized. Maybe all the people saying the governor has no legit way of actually stopping them are correct! But if you can’t, then don’t claim you are.

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."

Lots of Epidemic Intelligence Service officers ("disease detectives") gone.
In-country staff in Africa (including those helping to manage the current Ebola outbreak) are fired.

On paper they are, the reality may be different. But the cognitive dissonance of the rhetoric vs what’s actually happening is the point. We don’t have the luxury of insulting in fantasies about what people in power are actually doing.

Layoff notices also initially targeted the office that produces the CDC’s flagship weekly scientific report known as the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, or MMWR. But those notices were sent in error because of a miscoding, according to the health official. As of Saturday afternoon, however, the editor who oversees the MMWR and others in the office of science had not been informed that the layoff notices were a mistake, Houry said.

Ha wow, I'm reading his other comments and I'm not entirely sure he's not an improv comedian doing a bit, he's that much of an oblivious troll.

Literally one of these guys openly admitted that if he gets interested in a TV show he goes and looks it up on Wikipedia to spoil the plot so he won't watch it and will instead go back to work. These guys are losers and they're mad we're not becoming losers like them.

Dan Seitz @dseitz.bsky.social · 13h

It is fascinating to watch the desperation ratchet up as they realize AI is never going to replace actual workers, so they're hoping workers will voluntarily make their lives worse with AI, the same way these guys have been doing.

it's literally the business model. if they bought bigger parking lots (due to parking minimums) they'd have to buy more land and raise their prices. They sacrifice parking for good and cheap food.

even if you take the most wildly generous interpretation of 'jumped in' as meaning June 1944, and not say, September 1943 (invasion of Italy), or November 1942 (North African landings), let alone December 1941 (entrance into the war), the Soviets were still fighting hard battles in Eastern Europe.

While providing tech support for my FIL:

FIL: What's that screen?

ME: The terminal. You should never use it.

FIL: Never?

ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself?

FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.
