“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something... but it is not always quite the something you were after.” Pseudonymous geologist in the San Francisco Bay Area. Signed up for too many starter packs.
Checking in on US Manufacturing employment under Trump tariffs... Huh.
green sea foam swashing on the oregon coast Haven't heard much about a harmful algal bloom or dead zone, but it looks unusually green.
Boulder under Castle Crags. Pretty sure the felsic minerals were transmogrified to marshmallows and then back.
The 36 million year old stuff is reworked into adjacent Pleistocene terrace deposits. Might find some Eocene clams side by side with some sabertooths.
Some Eocene fossils in volcaniclastic sands of the Yachats Formation. Feather star fossils aren't uncommon in Paleogene coast range rocks in Oregon. Even some crinoid lagerstätte a bit further north. www.researchgate.net/profile/Kath...
People pay good money for the privilege of removing and replacing the foam on these. Argue endlessly about the technique and result. Fight over why Bose made these weird speakers.
They discovered the beast that done it from grainy video, large tracks.
She spent about twenty minutes scanning the river from high in the pine and then launched, diving into the rapids. But no dice (or fish).
One pole has moved beyond the edge of the cliff. To the extent they accept extremist framing, so-called moderates are over the edge too.
Moving pretty fast upstream it seems. www.inaturalist.org/taxa/63038-E...
The view from Alameda, 9 miles away. Lessons in light scattering.
This map shows a thrust fault more or less straight through the coast near Galfa. Did we miss a a secondary earthquake while the earth was ringing? Or is it all local foundering? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Modis/Terra satellite view off shore UAE and Qatar. Normal amount of black squiggly stuff, or nah?
Wait, the teen pregnancy grants aren't going to be used to get more teenage girls pregnant, are they?
Rare rock-loving marsupial rodent picked a fun place to be from. Hope it is good at hiding from feral cats. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakadu_...
This cartoon my understanding of how the Overton Window has evolved in the US. If you want to burn down half the government, deport half the immigrant labor, remove half of our civil liberties, and turn the President into a half-king you are a serious person and a moderate.
Here's Trump driving over the fresh paint in his 20,000 pound Beast on May 7th. Might be fun to cross-correlate with the damaged area when they drain it.
They're actively painting the pool and our President decides to drive over the paint in the beast for a photo-op. Wonder if those peeling chips have tire treads on them. abc7.com/post/trump-m...
Confirmed animal cases in the US this month. www.aphis.usda.gov/animals/anim...
He could reprise Richard Kiel's James Bond villain role for a younger audience.
Alameda Death Chicken 'Aggressive' turkeys trigger warning from Bay Area police www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...
There's a weird one at the WTC site. The American Response Monument to Green Berets et al in Afghanistan. Wouldn't mind seeing something more like the Vietnam Wall.
Wonder if @neillareau.bsky.social has some insights. Looks like more than one vortex?
