There it is.

So SpaceX? Anyone else?

Geology is the best science. 🤘⚒️

FYI

This timeline is why I’m so angry that stand alone earth science education keeps getting dropped from curricula for “oh let’s just put some earth science concepts with the other science we teach”. My district did that and teachers did a crap job of teaching it.🧵

Starting to think we should just start calling a certain someone King Leopold. And if you don’t now who that is, start reading more history. And find yourself horrified that we keep repeating it.

That Central Valley. Dang.

We know so little.

Looks like voter outrage might work? Or maybe the administration is planning on quadrupling entrance fees and monetizing everything from parking to toilet use. 🙄

Not sure I know anyone in the society, but hoping AGU, GSA, NGWA follow suit.

Spent the morning reading the Budapest Memorandum. Just floored that we did that and now 30-ish years later, with current leadership, we’re totally ignoring it.

Very fun!

Fantastic thread.

Click through to the post. This is insane.

In other news, it’s been fun trying to figure out which links are broken during my usual search for information for my job. But then I was on the main page of the EPA and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a science agency press release that looks like this. It reads like the inside of a book cover. 😬

I had no idea barnacles were so pretty!

Today in “geologists like to name things funny names”, I present Big Bosom Buttes, in Whatcom County, WA. 🧪🌋⚒️ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_B...

This outlines how these EOs are truly illegal.

That’s almost 1 in 10. Imagine what the real answer would be if people would actually answer without fear, particularly the older generations.

Just donated again. 🤘

I cannot believe the gaslighting Trump and Vance are doing on Ukraine. I’ve been reading comments sections on the WSJ op eds related to it and pleased to see almost all of the conservatives saying WTF. People who are vets and old enough to remember that Russia has been an enemy since the cold war.

Washington’s new law – the Toxic-Free Cosmetics Act – helps make salon products safer for stylists and clients. The law keeps many toxic chemicals out of cosmetics made, sold, or distributed in Washington.

Here’s another way to think about it. We import roughly $3.25 trillion in goods every year. Income tax receipts total roughly $2.2 trillion. So we’d need a universal tariff rate of, give or take, 65% to be able to do away w the IRS. But… 1/2

That’s at least 100 million people. And throw several tens of millions just laid off from the feds, and this is starting to look very bad.
