I know nothing about the lobbying power of Big Airport Retail.

But I suspect that the folks that make such decisions live in fear of being blamed for the first explosive decompression following their rescinding the rule.

My first omelette from our Lyon apartment. Butter in France is crazy good.

Fantastic photograph

Go off the “wine only while in France” pledge just once and…

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Pete Hegseth Nailed It. No Really. You’ve probably seen the story about how, at a DOD presentation, Secretary...

Pete Hegseth Nailed It. No Really.

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

The massive Haussmannian buildings in the urban center of Paris cry for some Nature.

Two solutions:
-pocket parks, fenced meadows lined with benches, and
-trees, some quite massive and unexpected, are local personalities.

Arborists and landscape architecture folk must be minor saints in Paris.

Humans understand the world through two things:

principles and narratives.

Principles and formulas alone can’t get at the significance of things

and narratives alone can be deceptive.

Pope: [moral critique of illegal war]

President: I am Jesus. Thr pope is gay

Media: they are feuding😳

A magic of the Musée d'Orsay is that, with each visit, one inevitably locks eyes with someone that you long to have a conversation with, though they are regrettably long dead.
-Renoir, “A box at the theatre”

This is among the greatest moments in the history of Fantasyland. Absolutely perfect chef’s-kiss distillation of our self-satirizing historical moment.

So good to be back in Paris, in April no less. One of the world’s superb urban environs.

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology.

This is a serious escalation.

Respectfully, “Nutrient-rich” can only mean the nutrient content of the vegetation. How cannot it not?

“-er” implies a change.

How can the title say the nutrient concentration changed if it wasn’t quantified?

Your initial summary of the paper did not make that claim. The title did.

Fantastic lab and cool system where you can do a lot of good.

From a former Oklahoman, gawdspeed man.

Lost one house to an F4.

Lost 1/3 the windows of our second house—twice in the same year—to baseball-sized hail.

BTB, the largest category of hail in OK is “CD-size”.

This MS's title is misleading—they did not measure plant nutrients. Species lists were tallied over time, each species was categorized as "N-loving" or not, and they show such species are now more common in some, less common in other habitats.

*Individual plants* of a spp vary widely in nitrogen.

PhD opportunity in ecology, biogeochemistry & evolutionary biology.

I am looking for a PhD candidate to join a research project on how animals cope with nutritionally imbalanced food and how this shapes matter cycling in ecosystems.

Happy to see our antifragility paper published! With @jonaswickman.bsky.social and @chrisklausmeier.bsky.social.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

Chapter 1 in Community Ecology by Case and Diamond, Harper and Row

Ah the early 80’s war between experimental and comparative ecologists!

It led to this gem by Jared Diamond on the four types of experiments in ecology: lab, field, time series, geo-comparisons.

I started every Community Ecology class with it.

Highly relevant…again.

Laura Thornton: Lots of reasons but one thing I’ve learned from my decades abroad is that nothing infuriates and unites people more than corruption and poor economy. And Orban’s govt had it in spades. Corruption should be the center theme of every campaign, and how it is hurting you.

When you think of valuable elements, you think silver, gold, platinum.

But you cannot eat silver, gold, platinum.

What you can eat *is* grown with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and a host of micronutrients. These are in abundance in good soils.

But good soils are rare and growing rarer.
