    This essay is part a triptych of pieces I’ve written in the last 3 years, loosely titled ‘How to Think About Data’

    I've been a pretty serious amateur cook for 20 years. There are some lessons I think I just won't ever learn. (Don't eyeball the salt)

    Minutes later, an eagle flew out of the trees, clutching a dead heron in its talons. It dropped the carcass in the middle of the exhibit. It floated, blood fading into the water. After, I walked over under the trees & found the body of the 2nd eagle, stabbed through the breast.

    Warren Ellis is good, but certainly not a human.

    Chiming into all of the 'Warren Ellis is a good human' ruckus to say that Warren Ellis is indeed a good human being. I have been the recipient of his unbidden generousity, and I known dozens of people who can say the same.

    In a previous life I worked at an aquarium, where I was the kid with the mic during the shows. Once, right in the middle, a pair of bald eagles raided a heron rookery right beside us. There was an almighty ruckus. Foley artist could have 100% used the audio for Jurassic Park.

    I'd do it again

    Y'all realize that restaurants are America's defacto social safety net, right? How everyone's fallback is waiting tables, dishwashing, slinging coffee? What are you going to do when this vanishes? We can't close all the restaurants without thinking this through.

    NPR is promoting this article again. Without access to the study we have no way of knowing how "bot" was estimated or measured, we simply have to go on the reputation and past research of this lab, which I dug into last night here:

    A new study finds nearly half of the Twitter accounts posting about the coronavirus pandemic are likely bots. Researchers said the tweets appeared aimed at sowing division in America.

    Nice: "There's a surge in interest in birdwatching right now." People are hearing songs like never before, partly because the world is a little quieter, and noticing things that were there all along but we were so busy. Welcome, new birders.

    This is a pretty awesome offer from for any or environmental science teacher who wants to transform students into explorers and data collectors.

    Today is the last day to apply to the giveaway, where we are sending out fifty weather stations or water quality sensor stations to anyone globally for free.
