Excited to attend the ribbon-cutting for the next segment of California’s solar canal initiative later this month in Hickman. Imagine generating solar power over 4,000 miles or so canals across the state. A lot of Sierra and Colorado River water to save via avoided evaporation.

The Devastating Role of Light Pollution in the 'Insect Apocalypse' A new study shows excess outdoor light is impacting how insects hunt, mate and make them more vulnerable to predators

For International Dark Skies Week -and every week, every night- know that light pollution is a significant contributor to biodiversity declines and animal populations, especially insects.

Especially the insects.

Immigration judges are hired (and fired) by the DOJ. They are part of the Executive branch. The Trump administration has fired a huge number of immigration judges so far. (Federal judges are appointed for life and are part of the Judiciary branch.)

Save NASA Science Action Hub Updates and actions on the proposed cuts to NASA science in FY 2027.

If you’ve been moved & inspired by Artemis, NASA needs your help. Literally during A2, the president proposed cutting NASA science 47%, canceling 54 missions, including many already in-flight. To help stop these cuts, check out @planetarysociety.bsky.social www.planetary.org/save-nasa-sc...

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Yes, my understanding is that it may be harder to get into the specific college of your choice but it isn't harder to just get into a good college.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

It's really hard when their friends all have something. When my kids were young, I didn't let them play Roblox when their friends did and I don't regret that. But as teens, I'd be more worried about them doing it without telling me if I said no. Have you talked to her about your concerns about it?

An Activist Spent Years Pushing for Hollywood’s Cinerama Dome to Reopen. Why Did He Just Stop? The LAPD told Benjamin Steinberg that the family ownership of the iconic theatre considered his latest protest a form of harassment. He's since called off his long-running campaign.

Because Los Angeles "leaders" will let iconic tourist attractions like the Cinerama Dome rot vacant for years, a citizen activist @SaveYourCinema had to step up. Now the owners have scared the hell out of him with legal threats. Something has to change. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

The number of truly stupid and uninformed comments I've seen about this crossing over the last few years is staggering. A lot of people making no effort to understand the research and planning behind it and leaping to wild and incorrect conclusions.
