Overjoyed to announce the sale of my first book, Into the Dark Sky, to @LiverightPub. The book is a scientific adventure to find the last dark places on Earth and chronicle the people striving to protect them. It's also a love story about the night✨🔭 #darkskies #astronomy

As an American, I endorse this message.

“How was it, Carl wondered, that the eternal and omniscient Creator described in the Bible could confidently assert so many fundamental misconceptions about Creation? Why would the God of the Scriptures be far less knowledgeable about nature than are we, newcomers, who have only just begun to study the universe?

He could not bring himself to overlook the Bible's formulation of a flat, six-thousand-year-old earth, and he found especially tragic the notion that we had been created separately from all other living things. The discovery of our relatedness to all life was borne out by countless distinct and compelling lines of evidence.

For Carl, Darwin's insight that life evolved over the eons through natural selection was not just better science than Genesis, it also afforded a deeper, more satisfying spiritual experience.”

Outcome of Owyhee BLM's ongoing old growth Western Juniper forest destruction on Juniper Mountain. Trees here were burned in "prescribed" purposeful infernos 7 or so years ago. Hermit Thrush forest converted to CHEATGRASS. 1/2

I'm not a doomer poster but I just got devastating news... and I am not being dramatic, my heart sank. They're paving Hole in the Rock Road. 10 miles now. 10 miles soon. The whole thing eventually. They're stealing our wilderness inch by inch. Paving over paradise.

@brivael A rousing takedown of socialism and defense of AI 🤖 ⚡️ that, in all likelihood, was written by AI…

Amal Khalil was a devoted journalist who also rescued animals in southern Lebanon during Israel’s bombing campaign.

Israel killed her.

George Washington believed that vaccinating his troops against smallpox was the key to winning the Revolutionary War and our independence. A founding father from 250 years ago had a better understanding of science and military readiness than Pete Hegseth.

I am deeply saddened by the recent escalation of attacks against Ukraine, which continue to afflict civilians. I express my solidarity with those who are suffering and assure all the Ukrainian people of my prayers. I renew my appeal for weapons to fall silent and for the path of dialogue to be pursued.

[Senator Ben Ray Luján @SenatorLujan]

Trump’s Bureau of Land Management is once again trying to fast-track decisions that impact Chaco Canyon, a 1,000+ year-old sacred cultural and historical site, with an outrageously short public comment period. They think we aren’t paying attention.

BLM plans to release a Draft Environmental Assessment in the coming months, followed by just 14 days for public input.

14 days to save a 1,000+ year old heritage site? Follow for more updates and when the public comment period will start. Let’s keep fighting to protect Chaco.

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

The Presidio is a success story — a military base now a self-sustaining national park.

Trump is the Destroyer President. He tears down institutions that make the world better — Medicaid, Kennedy Center, USAID, NIH — & replaces them with nothing since he’s incapable of building. He only destroys.

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

Protect the Pecos! The Trump Administration is moving to reverse protections for the Upper Pecos Watershed just as they have with Chaco Canyon—putting this precious landscape at risk for new mining. 

This follows years of our communities in New Mexico speaking out and our delegation fighting to protect this area. New Mexicans have spoken loud and clear to protect the Pecos—but we must keep up the pressure! We must keep fighting to protect our water and our future.

[Jeremy Miller @JeremyJ_Miller]

@cqkten @Afinetheorem My point was rhetorical. The idea that another major metro area is possible along the Central Coast because it’s pretty and the weather is nice is just as far fetched. Far better to increase density in SF/LA than create a new metropolis in an already climate/water strained region

[Jeremy Miller @JeremyJ_Miller]

@Afinetheorem California has 40 million people--the same number as in your entire country. Sure we could use water better here. But in your urban master-planning fever dream why not start closer to home? More water, more land, fewer people and much warmer in the days ahead. Start up here. :)

[Jeremy Miller @JeremyJ_Miller]

@Afinetheorem Just because “Urbanism Twitter” is fired up about the region’s beauty and superficial resemblance to the Italian Riviera doesn’t mean you can create water out of nothing, or that you can, or would want, to magically create another major metro area halfway between SF and LA.

[Jeremy Miller @JeremyJ_Miller]

@Afinetheorem Now read up on desal. I’ll wait.

[Jeremy Miller @JeremyJ_Miller]

@Afinetheorem The objection is that the water stress in this part of California is far more chronic and complicated than than you are making it out to be.

[Jeremy Miller @JeremyJ_Miller]

@Afinetheorem You need to read up on how California’s water systems work and where this region lies in that complicated and highly stressed plumbing system.
