I wish that all plant taxonomy studies were as fun to read as this one in Capitulum. Delighted to learn that I’ve studied TWO endemic Cirsiums in Nevada. C. clokeyi (photo by Jan Nachlinger) in the Spring Mtns. & C. viperinum in Great Basin NP. researchgate.net/profile/David-…

@kaitlancollins @eliehonig Don't forget the The Famous 86–47 Game: UConn vs. Butler (Feb. 22, 2025) and the tragic results...

If a child was born on the moon to astronaut parents who are multinational (like a Canadian and an American), would he/she have birthright citizenship in the USA? Is SCOTUS considering this one? Could the child legally return to the earth, vs. risk deportation? #Artemis

@MarkLazerus He would follow his Twitter feed while doing the color commentary. Twice he acknowledged me as a loyal fan while I was listening to the 40 second delay of the game on my WGN app in Elko, Nevada. RIP to such a wonderful man.

Wrote a short piece about Troy Murray, for those who never had the incredible good fortune of knowing him: nytimes.com/athletic/70972…

@Mikaa_BM Perhaps there is a chance of (or already happened) radiation release from the US nuclear submarine?

Problème n°4 : Le non-remerciement de son allié — sans qui le sous-marinier 🇺🇸 n'aurait apparemment pas survécu — et l'évocation de Trump selon laquelle "beaucoup de personnes au Groenland" seraient "malades" et "pas soignées" ravive les tensions entre 🇺🇸 et 🇩🇰.

FAIT RARISSIME au Groenland 😷 Hier, un sous-marin nucléaire d'attaque 🇺🇸 a fait surface dans les eaux territoriales 🇬🇱, à 13 km de Nuuk, pour sauver un membre d'équipage. Évacué par l'armée danoise, il est soigné à l'hôpital de Nuuk. MAIS, l'histoire ne s'arrête pas là… 🧵⬇️

@naomibot @bitterwaterblue Joshua tree!

@bitterwaterblue Are you calling mountain mahogany a tree 🧐

As a forester, they would have someway connected me to “loggers,” thus denying me coverage.

@mountainman_mc On Thursday, a portrait photographer doing a shoot just east of Lundy School was igniting smoke bombs for special effects. I got him to promise he would cease that illegal activity and then I notified Mt. Charleston FD, for any needed follow through.

Fire weather watch, windy and dry… and there was an illegal charcoal fire at the Lee Meadows. It’s been doused…. Fortunately

@mountainman_mc Griffith’s Lodge was in the original Charleston Park, named after the founder of the 1905 era resort we now call Old Town. Now a fire station/library. I georeferenced about 2,000 herbarium specimens at UNR which had these obsolete names. Anyone want to pinpoint “Rainbow Falls?”

This is easily my most valuable book which was published in 1951. Inside you will find a very Tolkienesque map of these mountains, but with very different names, rich in history.

@mountainman_mc One that he missed adding to the map, but used on herbarium specimen labels was “Excelsior Canyon.” I was finally able to determine that to be the valley between the modern day Red Rock Canyon NCA scenic loop and Blue Diamond.

Here are a few of mine from Kyle Canyon.

Ukraine: Krieg der Werte🧵 Während der Westen immer noch ohne klares Konzept für Kriegsziel oder Unterstützung der Ukraine ist demonstriert die Ukraine in Kursk eindrucksvoll den Kern des Konfliktes: Sie verteidigt Menschlichkeit gegen Russland. In Kollab mit @MartinSauerbrey 1/

@RpsAgainstTrump One microphone and only about seven reflections of people in a window.

What do you notice in this video of Donald Trump in Florida today?

@meganmesserly We know.

Could not possibly say no to anything Moby asks for, simply impossible

@LayoDana @analog_ashley That’s when you claim your volunteer hours, whatever the means to submit them.

@analog_ashley Yes but we can’t go over 40 logged hours a week

UCSD now requires postdocs to complete timesheets. This is insane, right? Do other universities have postdocs log their time?

@HistoryNevada Mr. Leddick was a bit too doom and gloom, but wise to sign the alarm. Being that Elko Co. has more precipitation than most Nevada counties, there would be recovery on the horizon.

The Jun 13, 1888 Elko Independent has testimony from Mr Leddick of Lamoille, NV that due to drought and overgrazing of public lands, some "stockmen were compelled to move their herds" north to Idaho "in order to save them." bit.ly/3xpJnU3

@jess_hillyeah It won’t start on time, so it will for sure be 100 degrees or more.

The Trump campaign announces "comfort measures" ahead of Sunday's outdoor rally in Las Vegas:

The Clark County School Board spent $250,000 (as per KTNV reporter Anjali Patel) to repair the flood damage last August from Hurricane Hilary. It’s repaired, as shown in these before and after shots. Now what?

The Mt. Charleston community came out today 5/30/24 in opposition to the proposed closure of Earl Lundy Elementary School. Here are the current and future kids being denied attending their local school, along with their parents who attended this school and former instructors. 1/2
