And, since seismicity is only the edges and shadows of complex, 3D space-time tectonic processes, the best is an animated view in 3D!

There's an interesting (but paywalled) editorial board opinion piece discussing social media platform problems at

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/12/19/elon-musk-twitter-destroyed-fix/

I reference it because, buried in after all the back-story is the following statement, which I like, and I think is also relevant in the context of this thread.

"What matters is that they’re set up to get it right, in aggregate, according to the public commitments they’ve made.

That starts with something as simple as platforms committing to transparency, "

This lines up nicely with the intent of the UFoI.

Another #introduction, because I was shy about the first one. I'm the author of the NYT bestseller "NeuroTribes: The Legacy of #Autism and the Future of #Neurodiversity," which was the first science book to win the Samuel Johnson Prize for non-fiction in the UK. I'm also a fan of #jazz and other exploratory music, and have written liner notes for the Grateful Dead, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and other groups. I'm married to @WardQNormal. (This is us.) It's exciting to see this community develop!

This points to an emerging paradox in media reporting on disasters that's become really apparent in recent years: the more severe the damage, the less news initially makes it out (because power is out and telecoms are down) and the less coverage they receive.

“While the history of racial covenants has been well-documented, urban planners and historians say plotting them on a map — neighborhood by neighborhood and, in some cases, parcel by parcel — lays bare the extent of discrimination in stark and often surprising ways.”

Quoting Tamar Kohn (@VirusExplorers) about their new paper: "#Aerosol acidification important for inactivation of #airborne #Influenza & #SARSCoV2. Unintentional removal of acids & elevated NH3 levels indoors may prolong virus persistence. Overlooked role of #pH important for #virus transmission & mitigation."

We're slowly inching toward a mechanistic understanding of virus inactivation in aerosols.

I refuse to accept the unacceptable. You should too.

And thus the tradeoff - if we *don't* have a bad year, we need to hold some of that water back in storage to protect us against the next bad year. So crushing cuts either way.

Working on my comments for Interior's #ColoradoRiver Supplemental EIS - the "how do we save the Colorado" plan - I'm struck by how crushing the water cuts have to be if we have one or two more bad years.

Lake sunrise - shades of pink on a cold snowy lake. Only partially frozen, the open water reflects the skies.

Wow: 47% of all CO2 emissions from aviation ever were emitted after 2000 https://easa.europa.eu/eco/eaer
