How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

this is the scariest hurricane diagram I’ve ever seen

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.
Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

Han knows what's up.
Small presses don’t get to be held accountable for every single jot and iota while big presses publish a series for 30 years and never course correct when an editor is ethically unfit for the project. No. Looking at Scribner and David Lehman.

This is a really great piece. I never saw Slender-billed Curlews outside of museums. Writing the paper that declared them extinct was a sad and unexpectedly emotional thing.
As scientists we dream of discovering new species, not writing being the ones to declare them lost forever.

Great piece today by Simon Barnes, one of last to see a Slender-billed Curlew observer.co.uk/news/science... following research confirming extinction @rspb.bsky.social @rspbscience.bsky.social @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social @naturalis.bsky.social @nhm-london.bsky.social @ucllifesciences.bsky.social
Why we should all mourn the slender-billed curlew
A bird that hasn’t been photographed since 1995 has now been declared extinct. Its fate is cause for wider alarm

People think they have amazing stories about ChatGPT. And they tell them all the time. You just don’t register them as amazing if you are a normal ish adult human being because it’s mid shit like, “it told me to eat brisket!” or “it wrote twenty emails no one wants!”
I’ve never had someone in real life tell me how amazing ChatGPT has been for them with a concrete example but I’m hearing more and more stories of people’s lives being significantly disrupted by it in a bad way (ex from this morning: a friend of a friend’s dad is “dating” ChatGPT)

to call this a crime against humanity is true but inadequate — it’s a crime against all creation
The Trump administration said that it would open up 58 million acres of back country in national forests to road construction and development, removing protections that had been in place for a quarter century.
Trump Administration to End Protections for 58 Million Acres of National Forests
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the Clinton-era rule barring road construction and logging was outdated and “absurd.”

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

After a long, long dry spell, I've had three poems accepted in the past 24 hours.
What will be even more wonderful is if I write another poem and more poems I'm satisfied enough with to send out.
