The attack on @frediotto.bsky.social was seeded years ago by Roger Pielke Jr, who started arguing that this table from a recent @ipcc.bsky.social report proved that climate science cannot attribute extreme weather to climate change.

But Roger is of course lying. And we know this for 2 reasons.

Today marks the start of Baby Loss Awareness Week.

This year, it comes as the UK is about to pass a law guaranteeing the right to bereavement leave for miscarriage, making us one of only 4 countries in the world to offer it.

My heart is with everyone who experiences the heartbreak of baby loss.

The New Hamshire legislature has been struggling to produce a balanced budget. Our schools are chronically (and illegally) underfunded. Property tax is insane.

NH Peeps - we've been holding listening sessions across NH. A frequent request was for information on the NH Gov and how you can get your voice heard.

As a result, I've written a guide - Granite Grit - the no bullsh*t guide to New Hampshire Politics (and how you can raise hell the right way).
