Happy 50th to John Day Fossil Beds National Monument!
Definitely in your Red era when I visited last year.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

If you count the ICE facility as a 'store' then you do have one (1!) store with plywood over the first-floor windows.

"When Pioneers are defined as white men in buckskins, well, that is a problem. So, why define it that way?"
Because it comes directly after the phrase "Lewis and Clark"

There's no way that "Lewis and Clark Pioneers" would be easily understood as pioneers in medicine, technology, music, etc.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

I'm feeling very bad for A Cat Girl's Day Off, hitting all 3 unlikeability factors. Maybe they'll get a reprint with new cover art some day.

I've got much stronger memories of watching La Bamba in the theater that year than of Dirty Dancing, even which theater & with whom, and little diffs between song versions. Maybe it's a west coast thing, but La Bamba resonated with me a lot more than DD. #HATM

This one got me too -- "Sakaguchi’s news conference was interrupted by a call from Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba"

Just doing your news conference and the phone in your pocket rings. oops, it's the PM calling, gotta take this one, sorry y'all!

Which do you think lasts longer, a spade or an hourglass symbol?

Excited to share a new preprint from my lab, with some interesting and surprising results. 🧵 follows

I'm sure if there were a way to make the entire coin shape in his profile, instead of round, he would do it. In gold.

Intrigued at why the 9 point increase in energy rating, still within D range, is such a selling point that they'd include it in photos.

Truly no idea, maybe D range really is impressive for a home of this age and style.

I assume you're looking for something beyond stuff like Science Friday and Radiolab?
If so, sorry I don't have recs, but I'd love to hear what you find!
