My friend from the NOAA lab that brings you the Keeling Curve wants that world to know that things are horrible inside NOAA.

I don't see anyone asking Trump, on, camera, "Exactly who are the tariffs helping? Because everyone we've talked to says they are destructive and costly." #tarrif, #mediafail

10-Billion bailout! Trump disrupts agriculture with a pointless tariff war then March 18 announces 10-billion-dollar bailout. Efficient? Placating farmers so they won't revolt? lostcoastoutpost.com/.../crushing... www.usda.gov/.../usda-exp....

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education. In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

California native plant foliage.

Return national parklands to native people. That would be a great way to shrink the federal budget!

Fetid Adder's Tongue, at San Pedro Valley Park, San Mateo County, California. It smells bad and it's seeds are spread by ants!

The oligarchs' ultimate goals are to destroy government services, and then privatize those services. Religious schools, private jails, and package delivery are just the beginning, as they'll move on to mercenaries,toll roads, and more.

They're going to destroy government to privatize it all. All of it, from schools to labs, to weather.

We strongly urge you not to resign and recommend seeking legal counsel!

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual. We do not consent to this lawless power grab.

According to a Nixon-era law & SCOTUS case, presidents can’t hold back congressionally allocated funds because they disagree with a project. But that’s what Donald Trump is trying to do & the real question is whether this SCOTUS will let him get away with it. joycevance.substack.com/p/impoundment

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

I'm blocking anyone who makes a sexist comment. You should be too.

High surf dropped rows of bull kelp graffiti on the beach at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, Moss Beach, California.

No one voted for Elon Musk. #oligarchy

Suddenly aware of all the micro and nano plastic particles in and around me. It's not a good feeling. #plastics, #petroleumproducts, #gaslighting

I had a dream about gorillas doing invasive plant management, pulling pampas grass on a steep slope. Could this be real? #gorilla's, #pampasgrass,#invasiveplants

At Pinnacles National Park, the morning view included twenty trotting turkeys.

An early 90s cubicle.

BREAKING: Tsunami warning issued for parts of California and Oregon

Does anyone here want to talk about how to get rid of invasive plants? Too often I see them elevated as diminished underdogs rather than the class bullies they are.

Why am I seeing so many cartoons of waif women with giant breasts?

Military disability payments are well deserved. There is a massive glut at the moment because Burn Pit veterans are retiring, and the burn pits caused all kinds of issues, for me as well. And we have no idea what it WILL do to us when we are older. Cont…

What's going well for you today? I just enjoyed my privileged healthcare and had a tumor zapped to death in my skull. Thank you. Without this care I'd have disability and perhaps an earl death ahead. Healthcare is now a privilege. It should be a right. #kaiser, #healthcare,#tumor

The lack of self-awareness is almost impressive.

Eldercare is where corporations inhale generational wealth. #publichealthcare

Just read this aloud to my family. Hilarity, punctured by moments of “oooh, too close,” ensued. My 17-year-old was a particular fan of #16, but was also disturbed that it made total sense…

Pillar Point covered in uplifting fog. I shot this about 10 days ago with the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone.

It seems @jeffbezos13.bsky.social is having trouble deciding which charties to give his billions. Why not give the money to your employees? They busted their butt's for you, or maybe to us taxpayers so we can fund what we care about, rather than what you care about? You haven't paid your fair share.

If a neighbor puts up illegal no parking signs by a public parking space, would you take down the signs in the dark of night? #noparking,#privatizationofpublicspace

Flamingo chaos! I want them to face one direction. Seen on my street. Dare I redirect them? Would you?
