I know many of you who follow me don't work in climate science, but this is the biggest story in climate right now. Breaking up NCAR makes us all less safe and is another act of self-harm that will take decades to recover from.

Goosemas thoughts based entirely on posts/set lists since I haven't heard a note of it yet:

Saw two sets of mind bending in the round improv from #sml at Thalia Hall last night! XL second set with Ben LaMar Gay and Macie Stewart. Super happy to catch them again this year.
The big group went a bit hard into the “frenzy of sounds” mode for me, but […]

If you recognize my profile picture, it will not surprise you that I am rather fond of 12/14/95. The second set remains the best set of music I’ve witnessed in my life. It’s my favorite concert ever. It is fucking insane that this was THIRTY years ago […]

I would say this is the first time I’ve been proud of Indiana in a while, but tbh it was just last week when Indiana win the Big 10 championship https://mastodon.social/@mattsheffield/115703456175546597

Indiana Republicans voted significantly against a map that proponents promised would make its U.S. House delegation 9-0 Republican. Despite Trump's threats, they realized that when your own party is strongly demotivated (as it is this year), gerrymanders can actually backfire. This map could easily have led to 4 Democrats instead of 2. https://www.aol.com/articles/indiana-redistricting-final-deciding-vote-050409327.html

Go see SML if they come to your city! Maybe travel to another city to see them. Maybe invent a time machine to go back in time to catch the show I saw last night.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.
