A beautiful tribute to Kristi Noem.

The new circular GS badge for selling the most cookies is, of course, ...

I mean, really. All adorbs.

This little cutie I met in Montana on a snowy June morning while camping just wouldn't stop hopping up on my foot over and over again.

Even my undergraduate interns at UC Berkeley no not to use the passive. I feel bad for the New York Times having such low standards.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Thanks @seba.ilabaca

I think we can start sooner rather than later

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

Hey, Jay, many thanks for pointing me to these sources. Really appreciate it

I just saw someone casually mentioning using ChatGPT for a recipe. It's the SAME ONE CLICK to Google any recipe, but one will be wrong and one will be right. And the wrong one is also killing the environment and driving up prices. WHY are people using the wrong one??

Assumption, assumptions, my friend.

Of course not. We wouldn't be in a lot of the disaster we're in. But carrying on the status quo was not an option for too many. So it's apparently breaking before it gets rebuilt. I find the process abhorrent but we couldn't go on. Just look at the Dems even now. Sputtering, with notable exceptions

@sfestuaryinstitute.bsky.social @sfbaykeeper.bsky.social who knows how we track the impacts of mercury in the SF Bay/fish 1845-1900? I was surprised to just find out that the New Almaden mine in SJ on Guadalupe Creek was for cinnabar /mercury! Not sure if it could migrate north in the bay.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

If you're on FB check out Insect Sciences Museum of CA. We are native bee prone there as well!

On this we can all agree.

Next we do the East Bay Regional Park Disyrict. I'm getting elk reintroduced before I die.

It's amazing what humility can accomplish.

Just today, I was encouraging my new interns from UC Berkeley to go to source materials in archives and historic societies. I keep forgetting that they think everything's on the Internet and that AI knows what it's talking about. It's a glory to get them to go down into the stacks.

I’m fucking eager for the rapture too if it’ll get these assholes out of here

It would be completely out of character for a Trump to serve the United States.(‘cepting Mary)

Exactly!

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The world must fight back against this illegal war. Otherwise, the US (with Israel as needed) will continue to pummel and take over other countries like Venezuela and Iran.
