Mark Twain hated the Fourth of July. He was often invited to speak at Independence Day festivities. His audiences assumed that his reliably unpatriotic remarks were tongue-in-cheek jests. But he meant that shit. 1/9

Perhaps the world would improve if we all admitted how truly mediocre and ordinary we are.

This coming week, temperatures in Death Valley will be the hottest in the recorded history of this planet. Beryl is the earliest category four storm in the history of Atlantic hurricane season. People, both now and in the future, need us to stave off fascism and build a world where they can live.

Jesus's worked in Salinas CAs fields since 1973, harvesting celery, lettuce, and more. I've earned enough to raise my family with this work. "It was hard in the early days when we had to hunch over using a short handle hoe. Thanks to Cesar Chavez it was outlawed." #WeFeedYou

We make jokes about how dystopia is a lot more boring in reality than all the books we had to read in high school made it out to be. I think what we're forgetting is that the part we're in now - where the characters might have stopped it & didn't - is the backstory of these books, not the story.

i hate to have one of these at all but my big "WE DRANK FROM THE HOSE" opinion is that people younger than millennials really can't imagine what coming of age in a time of media scarcity meant - like, I would read about records and movies and not actually be able to see them for YEARS

It's my experience that people who love wildlife spend most of their lives in a state of quiet anguish watching what they love be systematically destroyed, sometimes up close. So probably they also don't have a lot of patience for cutesy hate-comments about bugs or snakes or whatever.

Hurricanes. Never. Cross. The. Equator. Hurricane tracking data from 1851-2006 from NASA, showing the path of storms by color-coded intensity. Why? Because the Coriolis force at the equator is essentially zero & can only vector AWAY from the equator, producing spins that move storms OUT.

By the way, I've flown a couple times recently and the TSA is rolling out some weird facial recognition thing at some airports which you can opt out of. I would encourage everybody to opt out of it because I do not like the idea of normalizing that technology, especially in those hands.

John Oliver did a deep dive on Project 2025 tonight that should be required viewing. Frightening shit. Hasn't been posted on their YT channel yet, but it's a must watch. Great reporting.
