That man running shuttles like me has earned 300 plus million dollars in his career and hasn't won shit. I am in awe of his Bag Getting

Farmers are among those most affected by climate change. Yet they are also the ones closest to implementing solutions that solve these problems. Work with your state universities and extension, get new expertise, and choose forward facing answers!

I remember being amazed by this exhibit nearly 40 years ago as a kid. And it still amazes me today.
American Museum of Natural History@amnh.org · 4d agoToday’s Exhibit of the Day? The Museum’s giant sequoia. When this tree was felled by a lumber company in 1891 (which is now illegal), it was 331 ft (100.1 m) tall. In 1912, this sequoia slice was cut to fit through the Museum. Visitors today can still spot the seams where it was put back together.
obsessed with the font on IKEA's clam chowder packaging. this is what's in the freezer on the Nostromo
It hasn’t been the most productive variety for me, but the stripey sure does look nice as a squash
If this was a proposed incinerator or smelter with these types of pollution permits, we’d be up in arms. But cause it’s a ‘data center’ those in charge will look the other way, leaving it up to the citizens to fight
PM2.5 Kills ~9 Million People Each Year Worldwide@tkovach.bsky.social · last wk.This proposed behind-the-meter data center in Ashville could release 402 tons of PM2.5, 157 tons of NOx, 292 tons of VOCs, and 4.02 MMTCO2e every year, per its permit application. That would make it the largest source of PM2.5, 5th largest source of GHGs, and 6th largest source of VOCs in Ohio.

Anyone else house in #Minneapolis covered in condensate? Every window in my house is dripping. I feel like I’ve been transported to south Florida
I got a 49/50 and was foiled by Vermont. I blame the polygon which divided Lake Champlain, while I was looking for a shoreline. Also my first state was Kansas, which made me think a really long time
Richard Waite@waiterich.bsky.social · last wk.48 out of 50. I messed up Colorado and South Dakota.
When winds coming over a mountain range are forced to descend rapidly, the moisture loss and pressure change causes rapid heating. Such hot, dry Foehn winds occur occasionally next to mountains all over the world, but this is the most extreme example I've ever seen.
Nahel Belgherze@wxnb.bsky.social · 2w agoI've never seen anything like it. Salta, Argentina, has just recorded its hottest night on record during the climatologically coldest time of the year. The minimum overnight temperature did not fall below 26°C (78.8°F), pulverizing the previous monthly record by 7°C.
While driving through southwest Minnesota and northwest Iowa for the first time, my 12 year old remarked, “It seems like the scenery is stuck on repeat.”
The dragonflies and damselflies seem to be the favourite bird snack this year, and the Soras are getting in on it too! This male Sora was foraging around the marsh edge and as soon as he filled his beak with snacks, he usually ran back to his chicks to feed them. But this time, he flew! #Birds 🪶
When journalists asked me "where we will see the effects of DOGE on outcomes?" one of my responses was "during crises...as long as media connect the dots." Well, dots connected: www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...
The CDC Has a Cyclospora Lab. DOGE Downsized It Last Year
“Based on simple math, these outbreak responses—which require rapid, timely responses—are going to be greatly diminished,” the former CDC lab director tells WIRED.

Super excited to start watching #TheLongWalk one of my favorite books by @stephenking.bsky.social. I appreciate they kept the design from 40 years ago (and not modern) and love the depressed background scenery. Makes it far more dystopic seeming than the book.
Took the dog out and could see streams of smoke in the lights. The #airquality is not safe in #Minnesota
Here’s the #wildfire smoke boundary as it crosses the west suburbs of #Minneapolis. Panning is from south to northeast
It’s hard to comprehend the amount of heat required to warm that much water. And it will not cool down so easily. Feedback cycles in action
Jeff Berardelli @weatherprof.bsky.social · 3w agoAn Ocean heatwave larger than the surface of the Moon! SOUND UP! The Pacific Ocean is having a huge heatwave. Most of the central and eastern Tropical Pacific is record hot. The centerpiece is the strongest El Niño ever measured. We’ve already reached Super El Niño SST threshold, and 1/
Our native #MN #pollinators at work. And note the chicken wire fencing to protect our coneflowers from the native rabbits…that love eating this and everything else in our garden.
First #squash of the season. Of course barring this and one other, all flowers have been male so far
Got to see a very cool hummingbird moth on our bee balm. Wish I could have gotten a better pic, but their similarities to real hummingbirds are uncanny. Always a treat to see the variety of native #insects in your garden
Every person should be livid about this. It’s not 1 dirty generator, but thousands! The Clean Air Act has been one of our greatest environmental successes and a few angry old men are hell bent on undoing all its good.

Stepped outside to check the rain gauge at 7:15am in #MN. Glasses instantly fogged up from the heat and humidity. Stay cool out there
At my kids softball tourney in Buffalo, MN and there was a very very noisy killdeer squawking at all the kids going by a rear fence. After a bit of searching found the reason for its agitation. Probably a great place for a nest most of the time, but not during tournament weekend #birding #Minnesota
