anybody know of any examples of people mapping out where federal funding is flowing in their town/city, and what the impacts are if it is cut off?
I’m talking small scale
I’d like to write up a report like this for my town of a few thousand residents

plant literature always sends a chill down my spine, like what if this is what WE sound like to non-entomologists? Could something as ordinary and harmless as the beetle taxonomist be this violently inscrutable??
![snippet from Wendy B. Zomlefer's 1994 treatise on Tofieldiaceae of the SE United States, Harvard Papers on Botany. She notes that you can recognize the anthers of Tofieldiaceae because they have a "terete apical appendage, dehiscing by longitudinal slits, introrse [latrorse]; pollen grains ellipsoid, 2 sulcate, reticulate." It just goes on like this.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ywua4qjetzwsq5hzyty3exua/bafkreihjkgfnzftjyjmsrl2gv7wi6v7iwpn6k52ygju33uyi7cmbl3l5he@jpeg)

I want to share some things about systemic functional linguistics and large language models. I think it’s actually important, and completely overlooked even by linguists.
I have the tools and data now to make a technical argument, which will be abbreviated here, and esoteric, and I stand by it.

The US ramped up natural gas exports dramatically starting in 2015, which tied US gas prices to global markets. Electricity prices too, since gas power plants almost always set clearing prices in almost every US electricity market. So now our gas and electric bills are higher and more volatile.

what good is philosophy if it does not propel us to lead better lives
Morally, Paddy was much closer to the often illiterate Cretan peasants he lived with in the mountains than he was to the cultured, educated man with whom he could find communion in Horace. Knowing Horace had done nothing to stop Kreipe fighting for one of the most evil regimes in history.

omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

For NYPA to build renewables at scale, we must provide stable financing, support projects like Clean Path Transmission, and reform NYISO's interconnection process. Public developers need support to achieve their goals.

but, as any analytic philosopher ought to recognize, reason devours its own tail. this is the lesson of the agrippan trilemma. this is the lesson of the early analytics. you try to build a ruler to map the dimensions of reason, and then the ruler devours itself and then you.

Do they do Fujitsu ductless minisplits?
Did they install a SanCO2 water heater?

This time of year your heat pump is taking the lonely heats lurking outside your house and inviting them in to hang out with the other more numerous heats inside your house.
Just make sure there are no vampire heats hanging outside your house.

FYI: A heatpump is a reverse McDLT: instead of keeping hot and cold separate and then combining them, it takes combined hot and cold and makes them separate.
