On the cutting room floor is the bit where the host introduced their interview series, The Interview, and I asked how long it took to come up with the name. Anyway, here’s me talking about birds and science and burnout and moving through the world. The photo’s nice! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

I don't like sharing NY Times much -- but The Daily yesterday was really well put together, moving, and (obviously) infuriating. Worth a listen >> www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/p...

Project2025's ridiculous justification for privatizing the NWS: "Studies have found that the forecasts and warnings provided by the private companies are more reliable than those provided by the NWS." The footnote "proof" given is a 2020 AccuWeather press release: www.accuweather.com/en/press/lat...

I receive state-of-the-art care from Cle Clinic for a medical condition I’ll have for the rest of my life. If I didn’t have access to it, my life would look VERY different. I swear if the Clinic loses any funding because of this I will BURN DOWN THE WHOLE WORLD. www.cleveland.com/medical/2025...
