articles that write about how "important" immigrant workers are to "the economy" without ever acknowledging that the reason they are important is that they can be treated worse for less pay
April Fool's Day is like conspiracy theories. Some (not all) were kind of fun and harmless once, but I have no patience for them now that the world has changed to accommodate them. I'd love to go back to a time when I can enjoy a little fun misinformation, but that time is a long way off.
A CEO's wild prediction or claim is not a story. It's PR. Kill this whole genre of reporting with fire and salt the ashes.
I LOATHE April Fool’s Day.
Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.
Union members in Oregon, take note. This one's a banger.
This summer and fall in the American West absolutely terrify me, both for the physical conditions of heat and drought and the political layer of incompetence and negligent malice toward our west coast states. We are looking down the barrel and we know it in March. It doesn't feel great.
I had a feeling this was going to happen. Sad news, especially given the poor state of sea ice after this winter.
Looks like we won't be getting any more data for Arctic sea-ice thickness and volume for a while from PIOMAS. See: psc.apl.uw.edu/research/pro...
The US as a whole is vulture blessed. We have so many turkey and black vultures (and a lot more condors than we did 30 years ago). Congratulations to El Paso and all the towns seeing turkey vultures return to your skies and trees. When you see them, say thanks. #birds

I came home from my book club and my outside light was out and while I was fumbling for my keys, a Steller's jay flew out of a bush at my head. I guess they're back on the nest, and in related news, I will not be asleep for several hours.
