Sam Keck Scott

Thank you to @TheAtlantic for republishing my article on milky seas — hands down the wildest thing I’ve ever witnessed.

@Sheridanblog One of the first things I thought when he came on the screen was oh man, that unhinged Kerr hater guy is gonna lose his mind about this. And it made me very happy.

Steph Curry is too involved in shit he does absolutely no research on. He invested in some dumb NFT called Bored Ape Yacht Club that's way down in value (think of his influence and the people who lost money following this dumb path), was in a commercial for FTX - a total scam by a scammer, never stands up for himself publicly when his idiot charlatan of a coach uses him like his name is JJ Redick and Brad Wanamaker even though he's a GOAT, signed with trash ass UA instead of Nike, which completely altered his own legacy (congrats on the lifetime riches but anyone would have given him this, given who he is) and I'm sure some other shit I can't remember right now because I just woke up from a procedure in a hospital and sleepy, and now he wants to endorse an airhead and the most unpopular VP of all time that is now a nominee voted by nobody. He probably has TDS, but that's understandable because it's a mass-hypnosis psyop that the majority of this country fell for, including myself up until about 2 years ago. How about do some actual research on what's happened the last 4 years instead of standing for something you don't even understand? I stand for Democracy too (for the people by the people), but the Democracy people believe in (and I believed in) no longer exists because it's been infiltrated by demonic politicians who lie to you about everything. The "Democrats" committed a coup on Biden, which is completely illegal, but this side doesn't care about committing crimes or even treason - seems no "Democrat" actually cares about that even though they keep crying about defending Democracy (do people even understand that THEY are supposed to vote in who they want in a Democracy?). Stand for your "side" until that side no longer does the things you supposedly believe in. When this happens, be brave and speak up. If they shame you, try to destroy you, ruin your life and reputation for doing so, then understand who the bad side actually is. I'll speak more on this in detail at some point, but for now, I'm simply disappointed. All this said, it is every person's right to choose what they believe in this beautiful country, and this ultimately has to be respected. Regardless of agreement or disagreement on who people choose, I do not hate individuals for choosing a side, knowing we are ultimately not each other's enemies. To me, the enemies are those in power who manipulate, propagandize, and lie to the masses while they pass evil policies that benefit no one but themselves and their pockets while dividing the rest of us and having us turn on each other as if that does any good. The notion these career politicians care about any of us... people are truly blind to reality and falling for their BS, hook line and sinker. Well fuck that. I'm here to fight it and spread as much truth as possible. The rest is up to each of us. Good luck out there, folks 🙏🙏🙏

@toughcitywriter @hakaimagazine @judeisabella Oh wow, this is really sad news. I’m so sorry, Adrienne. What a loss for us all.

Today, I’m heartbroken as the news is out—@hakaimagazine, a publication I helped launch with my dear friend and colleague @judeisabella, is done at the end of 2024. It’s such a shame for my colleagues, freelancers, readers, the science community and much, much more.

@hello__caitlin That was one of my first thoughts when I heard the news! The fact that he even announced he was taking today off. Too funny.

I’m still laughing at Aaron Rupar building his entire career and persona around watching and clipping Trump rallies and then taking the afternoon off today

@CatharinaCoenen @Orion_Magazine Thank you, Catharina! I hope you’re well.

Very grateful to @Orion_Magazine for publishing this short essay in which I attempt to prove the word “marsh” is an onomatopoeia: orionmagazine.org/article/salt-m…

@Orion_Magazine Thanks so much for sharing, wonderful @Orion_Magazine

@WestMarinFeed I’m so sad to see this. The boathouse was one of the best places.

Fire at the cabin at Nicks Cove tonight. Emergency crews on scene.

@JohnVaillant So well-deserved. Best book I’ve read yet about the climate crisis.

a surreal trifecta . .

@MontePooleNBCS @adam_eads best thing ever

The most uniquely entertaining individual in America?

@JohnVaillant Incredibly well-deserved recognition!

Ohboy . . .

@MichaelaHaas Michaela! Thank you so much.

This essay won a Pushcart Prize for a reason. Must read!

I couldn’t be more thrilled (or stunned) to announce that my essay, “Dreaming of Water with Tiger Salamanders,” has won a 2024 Pushcart Prize. Thank you to the wonderful team at @Longreads for publishing and nominating it, and to the Pushcart judges for seeing value in my work.

@JohnVaillant It’s so fun to imagine them underwater frantically recharging for every jump.

Sometimes, "Because I can" is reason enough:

@JohnVaillant That’s so kind of you, John. Thank you!

@samkeckscott Wow, Sam. Thank you for this wonderful endorsement. I really loved your pieces on bioluminescence, which I heartily recommend: orionmagazine.org/article/living…

Fire Weather is a must-read for anyone who, for better or worse, happens to be alive right now. @JohnVaillant is a writer hero of mine, and I’m grateful he chose this subject to apply his powers towards. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/554938/f…

@jason_paladino Congrats, old buddy!

@ben_a_goldfarb Favorite take
