I love a “here are some good trees to recognize in your region” book.
It’s like when you start a new job and you can check the staff page on the website to help you remember people’s names. But for trees.

1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. *The Pentagon* loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier
NEW: The U.S. Postal Service posted a net loss of $3.3 billion in this fiscal year’s second quarter mainly due to “significant challenges out of our control,” including workers’ compensation costs, Luke Grossmann, USPS chief financial officer, said at the open session of the governing board meeting

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

The California Farm Bureau Federation has reported a decline in the citrus harvest in the Central Valley. The bureau estimates that 55,000 migrant workers are essential for the valley’s operations, and their absence could lead to unharvested crops.

Someone recently asked me what's the point of having two or three buttons on a tailored jacket if the bottom-most button isn't meant to be fastened? It's easier to understand style if you think of it in terms of social language, not purely as function. Let me give you some examples. 🧵

On this Elementary rewatch, I’ve noticed Sherlock has multiple playing-card brand t-shirts. He wears the Aviator logo in 1x17 “Possibility Two,” and a Bee design (😉) earlier in Season 1

Feels like every year we get new studies that say "trickle-down economics are bullshit" and "UBI is a good idea" and "just give homeless people money" and duh, we all know these things but hey, none of them help rich people get richer, so we keep on Groundhog Daying the stupid bad cruel shit, whee.
Researchers at the London School of Economics have found that 50 years of tax cuts for the wealthy have not trickled down to the middle class and only served to help the rich get richer.
What does Trump have planned for his second term? Another giant tax cut for the wealthy.

50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says
Tax cuts for the wealthy didn't boost the economies of the U.S. and 17 other countries — but they did worsen income inequality.

I dunno how much of it is selection bias on my part, but the themes from the Southern Reach series really resonate with a lot of the trans community (the becoming of something new and terrifying etc). I systematically devoured the rest of your fiction after finishing Acceptance the first time. 💜

Re-reading Snow Crash in 2024 is wiiild. I’m so glad I read it early enough the first time that it still felt futuristic, because it certainly does not anymore. Now it feels like an anachronistic present-tense and it’s *delicious*
