Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

States have long led the way when it comes to protecting Americans from #PFAS. Now they’re codifying the EPA’s near-zero limits for some PFAS in drinking water to guard against possible Trump administration rollbacks. #ForeverChemicals www.thenewlede.org/2025/02/stat...

Going on a bit of an adventure. Lake Wānaka has an island with a lake (ok, a pool) with an island (fine! Just a rock) so I'm paddling my fold-up kayak over there and then paddle across the pool to the rock so I can then be on an island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island in the ocean!

I math-ed it out, and right now your DOGE dividend is on track to be $4.29. Let me show my work.

DOGE is getting a whole lot of headlines mainly because our brains aren't wired to make sense of millions, billions, or trillions of dollars. Lemme help: Math out the DOGE numbers and you'll discover that your DOGE dividend may buy you a coffee or two. The problem: There's just not that much waste.

ICYMI We are losing our glaciers at ~1.5°C of heating. What happens with each 0.1° of heating from here on in? What happens when we cross 2°C (now almost certain)? #ClimateCrisis

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.

Add up the claimed savings on the DOGE website and (right now )you get $7.19b from contract savings, and $0.14b from real estate, for a total of $7.3b, or $21.47 per American. Trump is talking about giving a "DOGE dividend" of 20% of these savings. Enjoy your $4.29.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I’ve spent the last 8 years working on a book about forever chemicals, or #PFAS, and the chemical industry’s decades-long campaign to cover up their dangers. What I discovered along the way is deeply disturbing, and yet the journey has left me hopeful. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/554198...
