@AAASMassMedia @insideclimate @NCAR_Science This is all leaving people worried that their chronic pain might be exacerbated by the weather without a clear way forward in learning about the future of their conditions. 5/5

Happy to share the final and longest piece I worked on during my @AAASMassMedia fellowship last summer. And a big thanks to everyone at @insideclimate for helping with the reporting and editing process for this story (as well my sources). 1/x https://t.co/5Ozb1raqu6

@AAASMassMedia @insideclimate As concerns about chronic pain rise, the Trump Administration cut or froze tens of millions in pain-related research funding at the NIH and HHS. Funding for weather and climate research is also jeopardy as the administration targets institutions like the @NCAR_Science . 4/x

"Declines in cooling sulfates combined with increases in greenhouse gas concentrations have increased the intensity and frequency of African heat waves." Uprooter @SmallThougts for @insideclimate https://t.co/kG0Y2aQL53

@wescz1312 Where exactly is the comm tower in Queen Anne?

Over a 20-year period, atmospheric rivers could double the amount of rain falling in parts of the Southeast. Their frequency over the Eastern US increased by almost 5% each decade, with the storms slamming the South particularly hard. @SmallThougts

We published a peer-reviewed paper modeling likely shifts in Nipah virus hosts due to climate change in PNAS 2012.

Thanks to @SmallThougts @insideclimate for pointing out these underappreciated impacts of climate change

Baltimore's drop in homicides - 23% since last year and a staggering 40% from two years ago - should be a national story. Mayor Scott's Group Violence Reduction Strategy, which prioritizes resources to those most at risk and community engagement, should be studied and replicated.

Eric Adams' future is likely not in City Hall. He's already pivoting to MAGA. This means he won't get elected to anything in NYC, but he could (with a Trump pardon) fully join the Trump universe as a pundit/activist or even federal employee. Ex-Democrats are beloved in the GOP.

At just 26 years old, Councilmember Chi Ossé is undoubtedly one of the best messengers in the New York City Council.

The end of forced broker fees is near, folks!

Some professional news, as they say.

I am so proud of the incredible work we’ve been able to accomplish at @grist in recent years. And I’m honored to lead the newsroom in this new capacity. This team, this organization, is truly special.

Just to clarify: this isn’t just the first time since WW2 that all incumbent parties in developed countries lost vote share.

It’s the first time since this data was first recorded in 1905. Essentially the first time in the history of democracy (universal suffrage began in 1894).

I have Democrat friends in the Bay Area that are raging against this election result. These people are NIMBYs who have actively voted down any expansion of housing.

I also have moderate friends who got priced out of the Bay Area and moved to Texas to buy homes and just voted for Trump.

It’s hard for me to rationalize the lack of self awareness of the first group. They literally pushed out the second group and refuse to acknowledge it.
