The Trump administration is planning to cancel its lease at a government laboratory in Hawaii, a site where scientists support key observations of surging greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, according to a list obtained by Democratic members of Congress and shared with The Post.
Trump moves to close facility that helps track planet-warming pollution

not that it’s ever been about sports or numbers and not that the number matters even a little but tuberville’s bullshit is *so* outrageously untrue.

... But by this point it is really clear that behaviour I consider to be petulant, irrational, whiny, self-pitying, and contemptible are by them viewed to be expressions of peak masculinity. I genuinely can't tell what is happening here, I am really not sure where the disconnect has arisen or why.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

the 2 AI critiques that some folks have a harder time accepting:
1. Quality - there’s a Dunning-Kruger effect where folks not familiar w/ a topic *can’t* notice the AI is bad/wrong
2. Externalities - climate & past/future worker harms (IP/layoffs) don’t feel real to many
are all I care about

👀 How far you can travel from NYC per unit of time, by year. I love that by 1930 you could reach Iowa—that must have felt incredible. In 1830, it took 3 weeks just to reach Chicago.
