But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

This Sir Douglas Mawson quote from @helen-amanda.bsky.social study on the abrupt and unknown ice loss of Antarctica. "We had come to probe its mystery, we had hoped to reduce it to terms of science, but there was always the 'indefinable' which held aloof, yet riveted our souls,"

How @CityofSanDiego plans to save Sunset Cliffs from sea level rise includes -- brace yourself -- sacrificing those sunset-facing parking lots perched on the bluff tops. voiceofsandiego.org/2025/08/26/how… @voiceofsandiego

After a gas pipeline explosion leveled a San Bruno neighborhood in 2010, the CPUC admitted it didn’t know how the utilities it regulated made spending decisions on safety. Fifteen years later and it’s still figuring that out: voiceofsandiego.org/2025/08/18/env… @voiceofsandiego

How much is your “life worth” to your electric utility? SDG&E and PG&E had such a high value, state regulators told them to drop the price: voiceofsandiego.org/2025/08/14/uti… @voiceofsandiego
