Danish election campaign first poll:

- center left bloc almost has a majority; center right far from
- centrist government (like the current) is an option again
- social democrats do well (compared to recent polls, not comp w/ 2022 elections)
- liberals do poorly, general fragmentation on the right

Why More Rain Doesn’t Mean More Erosion in Mountains - Eos Erosion in mountain-basin systems driven by long-period climate variations is buffered by an erosion saturation effect, which weakens peak erosion and leads to reduced sediment flux.

That's the usual developer lifecycle, no?

Having an idea for a side project -> buying instantly a domain -> get distracted by another great idea -> buying a domain -> *start reading from the beginning*

I see comments that I disagree with every hour & every day here on Bluesky, from people I generally agree with. I’m perfectly ok with supporting people I mostly agree a lot with, against people I overwhelmingly disagree with. We don’t have to agree on everything to work together against common foes.

Agree that blue sky is the new science twitter. Though I still feel like I get a lot more chat on mastodon (though not necessarily as much from other scientists). It probably helps that I'm on the fediscience server there.

SUPER excited to see this live in the world. In particular hugely admire this team's dedication to openness and transparency about methodology, code, assumptions.

Every tool has strengths and weaknesses, but sharing openly is how the whole community can improve. Big kudos @carbonplan.org
