First for me, too. Never again.
The people of Iran must be scared out of their minds, hearing Donald Trump say *he* will appoint their new leader, only moments before appointing America's Stupidest Senator, Markwayne Mullins, to run Homeland Security.
"It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."

I think this may be the most horrifying 30 seconds of video I have ever seen.
Pay attention to the verbs. Pay attention to who gets named. Pay attention to who “says” and who “did.”
That’s how perception is shaped - not with blatant lies, but with careful framing.

More Seismology 🤝 Hydrology
Wallace Creek (dry in these photos) has been offset by the San Andreas fault. The two ~90° turns occur where it crosses the fault. The land on the left has moved over time ~north (direction of view) relative to the land on the right.

For all the but how can we afford space exploration folks…this means we’ve already spent more on this war that started last week than Cassini cost in the 26 years it took to build, launch, and operate it.
anybody else ever sit at a stop sign waiting for it to change
(Real curious if we'll be able to reestablish just basic diplomacy after this is done. Clearly anyone involved with the administration can't be trusted to do anything in good faith.)
Did you know that the US has not mined arsenic since 1985? Now it’s on the critical minerals list because we rely on imports to make herbicides, insecticides, and wood preservatives and semiconductors
"The Northwest’s take on maple syrup is finicky, but its complex flavor has won fans in fine dining and among syrup connoisseurs."
Before a month or two ago, I had never heard of maple syrup from big leaf maples (a common native tree in western OR & WA). Here's a really good article in today's Oregon Live about it. www.oregonlive.com/business/202... I need to find a way to try it.

David Attenborough [whispering]:
“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”
Every conspiracy theorist asserts that scientists are "suppressing things that go against the consensus for the sake of their careers" as if every single incentive in every field of science isn't in favor of trying to disprove the consensus
1/ The first amendment of the Constitution prohibits state-sponsored religion and protects religious freedom. Starting a war to fulfill a biblical prophecy to bring about Armageddon is unconstitutional and puts the American people at serious risk.
2/ It’s off the rails insane that our military leaders are going down this road.
I urge my colleagues to join me in voting for the War Power's Resolution to take back the power of Congress in matters of war. www.huffpost.com/entry/troops...
Sen. Kelly: Sending young men and women to war is consequential. As a carrier pilot, we knew some of us might not come back. Trump is at Mar-a-Lago talking about his ballroom and playing golf.
"Due to decisions on the part of me and my staff, many Americans will die. That's a price we're willing to bear."
Check your local 7-11. The Corvallis store on Monroe carries the Register-Guard. (Our local paper, the GT is crap.)
Late night B-movie idea: "The Pelecypod From Hell" ⚒️

Agree. I was an undergrad for 8 years, for a plethora of reasons. I *loved* being a student, and I wished I could just take classes forever. To this day, I joke my biggest life mistake was filing for graduation.
Which isn't surprising, given that one of his lines of evidence was correlation of extinct organisms between continents no longer adjacent to each other.
