"Since Pelto started noticing the Hinman glacier's decline in 2005, he decided he wanted to document it beyond science and bring in artists, including his daughter Jill, who can capture the changing landscape through painting.

"I really feel like the loss of [glaciers] from the landscape does tap into people's emotions, and art does that better than science data," Pelto said. "And so I've tried to bring artists out every summer.""

've been tooting before about
#CopCity
at Atlanta Georgia US.
Where police killed 1 protester claiming they were shot at.
Of course = #NotTrue . Those fully armored cops are real snowflakes.

Now the protesters are charged with DOMESTIC TERRORISM.
The law was designed to prosecute right wing but is now used for legitimate protesters.

"In its quest to make #ChatGPT less toxic, #OpenAI used outsourced Kenyan laborers earning less than $2 per hour, a TIME investigation has found." https://time.com/6247678/openai-chatgpt-kenya-workers/

Trained with data up to 2021... and then it happened in 2022! #ChatGPT But a look at global temperature trends and a basic understanding of #globalwarming should have made a correct prediction a no-brainer for anyone, including AI (which literally has no brain).

Yesterday police killed a tree sitter in an ongoing protest meant to stop the construction of a new police training facility in Atlanta.

We extend our solidarity to the Stop Cop City movement and to the friends + family of Manuel 'Tort' Paez Teran. 🕯️✊

Statement posted to Atlanta Community Press Collective on Tortuguita, an anarchist that was killed by police on January 18th while defending the Weelaunee forest in #Atlanta, #Georgia.

"We are devastated by the loss of our friend who was killed by the police. Tortuguita was a kind, passionate, and loving person, cherished by their community.

They spent their time between Atlanta, defending the forest from destruction and coordinating mutual aid for the movement and Florida, where they helped build housing in low-income communities hit hardest by the hurricane. They were a trained medic, a loving partner, a dear friend, a brave soul, and so much more. In Tort’s name, we continue to fight to protect the forest and stop Cop City with love, rage, and a commitment to each other’s safety and well-being."

I was just fired. If you know someone hiring staff level software engineers, preferably in a #sre, #devops, or #PlatformEngineering space, I'd love to talk.

I'm looking for US remote positions, fwiw. And I can refer some really excellent engineers at all experience levels.

Edit: thank you for the boosts. I've been interviewing and I may have offers soon. I'll follow up on leads if I need to extend my search.

Turns out #MRV (measurement, reporting, and verification) for ocean CO₂ removal (#CDR) is controversial (and really hard). Who knew? 😬

The identity of the forest defender who was shot and killed by police in Atlanta, Georgia yesterday morning has been released. Their name is Manuel Teran, aka Tortuguita or Tort. Photo by Gabriel Eisen.

Teran was from Tallahassee, Florida and traveled to Atlanta to participate in the effort to protect the forest. Teran’s identity was first reported by the Atlanta Community Press Collective.

"Politicians who support Cop City have attempted to discredit forest defenders as “outside agitators.” This smear has a disgraceful history in the South, where authorities have used it against abolitionists, labor organizers, and the Civil Rights Movement, among others. The goal of those who spread this narrative is to discourage solidarity and isolate communities from each other while offering a pretext to bring in state and federal forces, who are the actual “outside agitators.” The consequence of that strategy is on full display in the tragedy of January 18."

How you can support movement to #StopCopCity and sign on to statement against the recent police murder of a forest defender.

In the tweet that got me thrown off Twitter, I called Trump an old fart, and said the GOP was stagnating.

Twitter told me I was inciting violence.

#USPolitics

#Journalists -- Twitter isn't the public sphere. It's a KKK meeting. It's an apartheid think tank.

Stop pretending that it's anything other than that. Engagement is complicity.
