“Is covid back?” is such a ridiculous framing.

It never went away, and we have seen an increase at exactly this time of year for the past 3 years.

Might as well say:

“Is school back? Despite a quiet summer, classrooms across the country are increasingly full of children”

An interesting exercise is to think about why police are paid so much more than teachers, and how city council would respond to an effort to increase the budget for teacher salaries by $1 billion.

@BrandonTBishop It's definitely still a thing, but less common (as far as I can tell) than pushes for active learning and alternative grading schemes.

[Jamie Ryan @RockingRyans]

@BrandonTBishop Ugh, what a terrible way to teach. I try a lot of things to make class better for my students, but never really understood the value behind a flipped classroom (and haven't been able to find much research on it).

I’ve spent much of this year learning about car bloat, the process through which smaller vehicles are being replaced by increasingly massive SUVs and trucks.

What I’ve learned: Huge cars are terrible for society, often in ways that are hidden.

A summary 🧵

Another small example of how much this site has degraded in usefulness is the conversation around LK-99 on here. It’s a total mess, riddled with charlatans, very difficult for casual onlookers to figure out who knows what they’re talking about

Do you guys ever think about the fact that the Pentagon spends over $2,000,000,000 a day on weapons and war but the minimum wage has been $7.25 for 14 years?

[Dr. Susan Hough @SeismoSue]

Elevating this 'cause my friend & colleague .@DrWendyRocks asked. A colleague of mine was at the Seismo Lab near the end of Richter's tenure there, & told me he had heard Richter say this. I think he said the exact quote varied a bit, but the gist was fools, liars, charlatans.

So if you haven't gotten Link's idle animations in TotK, they made me feel things, so I thought it might be fun to draw a little blend of them up in comic form and hurt myself more XD

Google says @Android phone network provides earthquake early warning in dozens of countries, including Türkiye. They say alerts were sent to millions of users for the early 6 Feb M7.8 quake. Yet BBC could find essentially no one who received an alert. https://t.co/nCfztIGnOY

It's said every eruption is an individual and that is certainly true of Fagradalsfjall 2023. It's producing the more severe, most nasty #AirPollution cloud I've experienced but not because of volcanic gases 🧵

Many people in the Caribbean felt the ground shake a few hours ago - the effect of a M6.6 earthquake.

Although the region is surrounded by subduction zones, today's quake was different and weird.

I don't know about your timelines, but mine is exploding with grievances about the AGU conference fee. Perhaps we've gained sufficient momentum to try out an alternative format that is free and open for all. I have a few ideas, keep reading if interested 👇
