Brandon's first skeet: "There are no US academic field deployments of seismometers in South America now, nor will there be for the foreseeable future. That hasn't happened since, I think, the year 2000?" I asked him to expand on what that means for access to other countries' seismometers. Thread:
Peru doesn't share period, Chile shares nicely, Bolivia has little capability to do any sharing (but are happy to if you can figure out how to arrange to get the data), Colombia is open but requires knowing the intricacies of their website, Ecuador shares when their staff has time.

Your first instinct is gonna be to blame this on the It's Always Sunny gang but you're forgetting that Melissa Schemmenti's throwing a Halloween party on Saturday and she knows a guy who can stock her seafood tower.
Six men stole 3,000 pounds of frozen snow crab from a tractor-trailer while the driver was asleep in the front of the truck in Southwest Philadelphia Tuesday morning.

I don’t want to give Marty any oxygen but he’s posting about the popularity of the CRA in 1964 as if it became popular in a vacuum and not after over a decade of civil disobedience and protests. If anything this is a great argument for why we don’t poll-test civil rights: the people will catch up.
Matt Yglesias defenders on social media insist that the Civil Rights Act itself was popular (so a 1963 Yglesias would have supported it) but it was just civil rights demonstrations/protest that was unpopular. However, the former simply doesn't exist without the latter.
I’m brainstorming a social meetup thing with a friend and the first rule of it is anyone can say “excuse me” and walk away from a conversation at any time, because life is too short to argue with a stranger, and that’s particularly true On Here
blocking just isn’t a super serious thing, it doesn’t have to be saved for a massive transgression “I didn’t enjoy interacting with this person on the internet” is a perfectly good reason now you won’t find each other annoying anymore, everyone wins

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

NEW: Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in an interview with extremist organization Live Action that his intervention in surrogacy cases is about promoting fetal personhood—an argument that could imperil not just surrogacy, but also abortion, IVF, and some forms of birth control.

There’s still time to stop this! See you at city hall tomorrow 👇🏼
Tomorrow LA City Council will vote on a potential new contract between LAPD and automatic license plate reader (ALPR) company Axon. Under this new contract, any streetlight could become a tool of police surveillance. @rosalindjones.bsky.social reports ⬇️ knock-la.com/la-city-coun...
