My feed is full of people pushing how “bad” data centers are… while posting on platforms that literally live inside data centers.

Make it make sense. 🤔

The only high school program in the U.S. certifying students in geospatial analysis — and it’s right here in Hyde Park #STL!
Congrats to Gateway Global on 5 years! So impressed by the students and their work. 🛰️🌎

This important paper passed under the media radar. It analyses a key indicator of the stability of the Atlantic ocean circulation #AMOC, in measured ocean data. It finds that most climate models get this wrong, and thus have an #AMOC that is too stable.

We're closely monitoring the ongoing wildfires in CA. We urge residents to monitor their surroundings & evacuate immediately if told to do so by local officials. @fema already authorized assistance to support firefighting efforts & will continue to stay in contact with the state.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

California has deployed 1400+ firefighting personnel & hundreds of prepositioned assets to combat these unprecedented fires in LA.

Emergency officials, firefighters, and first responders are all hands on deck through the night to do everything possible to protect lives.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

I am being frequently briefed on the wildfires in west Los Angeles. My team and I are in touch with state and local officials, and I have offered any federal assistance that is needed to help suppress the terrible Pacific Palisades fire. Earlier tonight, FEMA approved a Fire Management Assistance Grant to support areas that are impacted and help reimburse the state of California for the immediate firefighting costs. My Administration will do everything it can to support the response.

I urge the residents of the Pacific Palisades and the surrounding areas of Los Angeles to stay vigilant and listen to local officials.

The LAFD is NOT requesting assistance from the public. The message was misconstrued. We are running a recall for our OWN LAFD members ONLY. Thank you.
