Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

If I wanted to read a mediocre summary of the content of the Wikipedia page on a topic, I could just do a Google search these days. (Ugh.)

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Who needs the National Guard when LAPD is clearly capable of aiming and firing on unarmed observers all on their own?

I think Brat Saturday (Braturday?) was a roaring success! A slightly rainy day at the #WeLoveGreen festival in Paris, but enthusiasm was barely dampened at all! Charli XCX, Air and Parcels were all great. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to lie down and rest...

The yelling and fireworks this evening in Paris have enabled me to calibrate my estimates of the delay in my live stream of the Champions League Final. (About 45 seconds.)

There were so many fantastic plenary talks at the 2025 NSF GAGE/SAGE Community Science Workshop last week, and we had an artist there to capture live visual notes of all the engaging geophysical science!

Visited a new building today to sign paperwork and meet Florence, the (very) patient staff member who helped me get here and find my accommodation. I got a shopping bag of swag (bonus!) – a mug, French cookbook (in English), but I'm most excited about the branded four-colour pen! (Is that weird?)

This is not the way to build a successful and prosperous future. Trashing the basis for American preeminence to give some rich people a cash handout.

Context from me, a former OPT holder: OPT is a short term work permit for international students who completed their degrees in the US to work in areas related to their training. It's a way to retain the best international students with relatively few paperwork & cost.

The National Geodetic Survey does essential work that underpins a lot of economic activity – defining spatial reference systems used for surveying, building infrastructure, delimiting land ownership, high precision navigation. We already had a Geodesy Crisis in the US, but this makes it worse.

SCOOP from me: the mass exodus of employees from NOAA is decimating a tiny office that literally keeps our measurements of latitude and longitude accurate — and, former employees tell me, endangers the science of how the US understands global measurements:

Hilary Martens was talking about using GNSS to look at hydrology. NOTA wasn't designed to look at that, but the sites were there recording data, signals were found, and now we have new applications. This is why long-term funding of networks is so important - you don't know what you'll find next. 🧪⚒️
