March was the first month above 430 ppm atmospheric CO₂ of this year, and only the second in about 15 million years!
The first one was May 2025; many more to follow, unfortunately.
Based on daily values at Mauna Loa, the average was ~430.2 ppm, that's 2.0 ppm higher than last year.

Weird things that happen when you have a 100GbE pipe to your desk. 8 Gbps of sustained network traffic and the network monitor is like "yeah you're not using much bandwidth"
Also I think there's a 32-bit overflow or something in xfce4-netload-plugin because the rate shows 0.00 Mbps when I get above some threshold (not sure what it is exactly but it's in the 15-40 Gbps range)

What the company had to say - #Starlink satellite incident: "On Sunday, March 29, Starlink satellite 34343 experienced an anomaly on-orbit, resulting in loss of communications with the satellite at ~560 km above Earth.
Latest analysis shows the event poses no new risk to the @Space_Station, its crew, or to the upcoming launch of NASA’s Artemis II mission. We will continue to monitor the satellite along with any trackable debris and coordinate with @NASA and the @USSpaceForce.
The event also posed no new risk to this morning’s Transporter-16 mission, which was designed to avoid Starlink with payload deploys well above or well below the constellation. The SpaceX and Starlink teams are actively working to determine root cause and will rapidly implement any necessary corrective actions."

For those wondering about the bizarre Apache helicopter flyover of a No Kings rally and "spontaneous" visit to Kid Rock's mansion, whether it was intentionally orchestrated (seems likely to me) or not, the effect was to send a public signal to the military that acts of allegiance to Trump and his supporters will get rewarded and shielded with impunity, even if they're flagrant violations of military codes and procedures.
It's another step in the fascist playbook of getting the military in line to support tyrannical acts, so it's very much not a "no harm no foul" situation.
As for why I think it's more likely quite deliberate: those helicopters don't fly without thousands of dollars of fuel, air traffic control (or you're creating some *serious* danger going without), and other logistical support. There's no way that level of risk makes personal sense to some random army helicopter pilots, just for the benefit of pulling a public stunt? These aren't random rookies in basic training, it takes serious skill and many hours of training to successfully pilot a helicopter at all. Why risk your entire military career on a stunt, and how did you convince an entire ground crew and air traffic control tower to get in on it? Having some kind of orders/encouragement/guarantee of impunity from above makes the most sense. I'd be 0% surprised if Hegseth directly gave the orders/go-ahead and the show of an "investigation into insubordination" that gets publicly cancelled by Hegseth personally is an entirely intentional result if not the main objective.
Also buzzing the No Kings rally was 100% intentional.

The funds are dedicated to public education and transportation.

There are a lot of possible explanations for this:
Maybe the people who aren’t interested in AI also happen to vote for more sessions. (At a quick prod at the data, penalizing votes from people who voted for large numbers of sessions does not seem to change the conclusions above, but I haven’t investigated this thoroughly.)
Maybe AI is a more fragmented topic due to its newness, and interest has not coalesced, leading to a large number of small sessions. (But again, •total• votes for AI, including the whole long tail, were proportionally smaller.)

What does the money machine eat?
It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty, and,

• Aeciospores can’t infect the plant they were produced on—they must infect a different kind of plant, the primary host.
• The spores above are found on the alternate host; those below on the primary host.
• Urediniospores are made in huge numbers on the primary host, and spread infection among plants of the same species, sparking epi…

B&W photo of a large forested valley curving below and steep mountain ridges leading into the distance. The view is from a cliff ~500 meters above the valley, the rocks covered in dried grass and some draw mountain pines. A rocky river bed is meandering through the valley towards the hazy background and late afternoon sun. Overcast sky.

A man's arms are wildly distorted as they approach the bottom corners of the frame, he's got bare arms under a short sleeved shirt with an orange picture of a red fox furry character dressed like a samurai and he's surely got 8th grader syndrome because he's wearing a white paper mache mask with fox marking despite having copious white hair -- he fills only half the frame and above him looms a brick and (stone?) academic building and gunmetal sky

The 2026 Galaxy Geome EX2 is an all-electric sub-compact crossover.
It’s the perfect size for an urbanite, and while the exterior styling can’t be characterized as sexy, the EX2 looks the part of a compact hatchback.

This is exactly the thing I wonder about. Was it shoved through over internal objections? Was it many teams’ separate good work stuck together too hastily? Was it the wrong kind of pressure from above, or bad taste from below, or what?
It’s frustrating because as a dev I catch glimpses of all the really fantastic engineering work folks at Apple are doing •inside• the box, and they’re feeling very little love for it right now because the •outside•is so clunky.
