The last sentence of the report say this is “likely temporary”. Try reading instead of blindly re-posting. #MAGA #climate #science

REPORT: Antarctica reverses trend and gains ice for the first time in decades, according to a new study published by Science China Earth Sciences.

Researchers say from 2021-2023, the Antarctic Ice Sheet saw a record-breaking mass *gain.*

Tongji University researchers say satellite gravimetry data shows that from 2011 to 2020, the Antarctic Ice Sheet lost 142 gigatons of ice per year.

That trend flipped between 2021 and 2023 when the ice sheet allegedly gained about 108 gigatons of ice per year.

Most of the gains are in East Antarctica. Scientists say much of the gains are linked to precipitation patterns, which could be temporary.

Crazy.

Movie “The Best of Everything” has a #publisher saying to her secretary late on a Friday: “Those reject letters must go out the door tonight. Oh, alright, Monday will do.” Yes the movie was 1959 not 2025. #agents #WritingCommunity #writing #Writers #querying #Publishing #books

Art of the deal: 1. Create extreme policy. 2. Devastate economy. 3. Reverse policy, claim it was planned. 4. Partial economy recovery. 5. Increase extreme policy, threaten the Fed. 6. Devastate economy. 7. Decrease extreme policy, deny Fed threat. 8. Claim victory. #ResistTrump

The response from the @Pontifex was beautiful and heartfelt.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks—keeps it simple without being condescending.

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion. I don’t know a lot of people who think we’d be better off if our lives had more uniformity, inequity, and exclusion.” @PeteButtigieg

Our problem is clear though: too many value uniformity over inclusion, and they’re the ones running the government today.
