When Anthropic was created, its co-founders pledged to commit 80% of their personal equity holdings in the company to philanthropic causes. As they prepare to take the company public, they appear to be walking back that pledge.

At medical school, the writer & novelist who inspired me the most was Dr Nawal El-Saadawi, physician & psychiatrist. She founded the Arab Women's Solidarity Association & the Arab Association for Human Rights. She won the North-South Prize, Inana International Prize, & Seán MacBride Peace Prize.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

At 1.87 feet above MHHW (average daily high tide), the San Francisco tide gauge set a new record high tide for the month of October. The old record was set just 2 weeks ago on Oct. 11, 2026.

Israel does not do ceasefires Ever Independent journalism has been telling corporate journalism this for years and years and absolutely nothing we say can get them to listen or even simply look at the facts in front of their faces Never ever ever ever report that Israel has agreed to a ceasefire

Please explain to me why we are promoting streambank stabilization and the idea that we can somehow control a flood... mylearning.asce.org/diweb/catalo...
In my experience, in the mountains, and considering climate change, and no-stationarity, and post-fire sediment transport, the dominant discharge idea is out the window. Relative comparisons are valid. The reaches I work are formed by episodic events. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

A temporary breach of the 1.5C global-warming limit is now “inevitable” following “decades of insufficient climate action”, according to an UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report covered by Carbon Brief. www.carbonbrief.org/debriefed-23...

The Four Corners just went through a long week of flooding and weather models predict another deep plume of moisture taking aim at the region in the Nov. 1-2 timeframe. This doesn't look like a long-duration event, but saturated soils will be more prone to flooding from even short duration rainfall.

The University of California system was FREE in the 1970s, until then-gov Reagan convinced ppl it should charge tuition - why? Because too many ppl of color were being admitted. Fine for white kids to benefit, but - acc to him and the voters at that time - not Black, Asian and Latino kids.
This. And if most Americans weren't aware of this in 2019, I'd guess they're even less so now. Public university students were paying for a third of the cost of their education in 2009, and it was up to half by 2019. 2009 wasn't great compared to the 60s-70s, either. www.pbs.org/newshour/edu...

Water levels in Miami during the morning high tide were the 5th highest on record since the Virginia Key tide gage went online in 1994; six of the 12 highest water levels since 1994 have come during king tides the past 2 years. Likely 3 more top-10 water levels coming Mon-Wed. @bmcnoldy.bsky.social

Congress has limited working days left to pass legislation. Five key programs that help us understand, monitor, forecast, and prepare for natural hazards have lapsed. Take two minutes to contact your legislators and ask them to get these programs funded today: agu.quorum.us/campaign/w593wrrd

Has anthropogenic warming prevented the next glacial cycle? 🧊🔥 Yes, it has. After shrinking throughout much of the early-/mid-Holocene, the LIS began to grow again around 2 ka, but then began shrinking once more around 1960 due to anthropogenic greenhouse forcing! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
