BREAKING β€” States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

So is... is anyone in the military mad about this, or

I had forgotten how exhausting *gestures all around* was

I love an arcane detail, a critical catch, the sense of noticing something others miss. And that makes me quite unsuited for this moment, in a way. Everyone sees what is happening. There is no pleasure in noticing. And once you've noticed, all that's left is to act.

Y'all, in addition to creating many exciting compounds to give you and your neighbors a variety of ailments, wood fireplaces are so expensive to bring into the 21st century.

New favorite though he isn't exactly a main character: 20 Cicada (A Desolation Called Peace)

I'm a parody of myself so my answer is probably We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank by Modest Mouse.

Hello Bluesky gardening friends! 🌱 I would love to hear your favorite plant PAIRINGS, especially if one or both are USA native plants. Canceling our yard service this year bcuz they make it impossible to grow wildflowers- everything got whacked! Prioritizing pollinators over tidyness in more areas.

Adventures in heat pump water heating equipment: the water quality and anode rod are conspiring to smelliness. And the installer has never replaced an anode rod on one of these so is asking me to try to figure out where it is. I'm sending him pics from the manual. We're all learning together.

Asclepias hirtella (tall green milkweed) growing near its northern range limit in sandy low prairie in the Wisconsin Central Sands. Associates include Liatris pycnostachya, Lilium michiganense, Pycnanthemum virginianum, and Platanthera psycodes.

Science (and science policy, and conservation) friends, I need your help! We are collecting *specific, clear* examples of harms caused by the Trump administration's attacks on science, to be included in an open letter. Can be links to news stories/social media posts. πŸ§ͺπŸ¦‘πŸŒŽ #SciComm #SciPol

"Make them outlaw you, we will stand up with you, I will get arrested with you"

I've been paying more attention to domestic stuff, but this is incredibly grim and its effects won't stay "over there." Whatever you think of the tendrils of American empire, as they've been over the last 70 years - ignoring our allies and carving up Ukraine for parts is a pretty nakedly bad shift.

Obsessed with this thread.

Rare work related post: this is a good article about a nerdy and desperately important topic, utility rates. It also has a lot of breadcrumbs for how to advocate for your state legislative and utility regulator to do better. #energysky #climatesky rmi.org/its-time-to-...

The psychology/JDM student's cynical dread that, without all this overconfidence, no one would ever do anything.

I was just thinking about this and talking to my (very anxious at the best of times) MIL last night. The notion that insurers and big pharma would do this is ... I mean, typical, but also absurd. Capitalists stop proving their critics who claim they're a death cult right challenge

Not understanding counterfactuals causes *a lot* of problems I see this a lot in my little world of food, nature, and climate… but it’s everywhere Y2K also says hi πŸ‘‹

The Khan bows to nobody

They really keep choosing evil, huh.

Whoever is organizing effectively right now, perhaps counterintuitively to many who wish they knew how to Do Something, they may not be posting about it anywhere online. The answer may be to get out into IRL spaces and talk about what's going on, and listen to the responses you get.
