In about 1/3 of the 542 aquifers where researchers were able to analyze several decades of data, they found that depletion has been more severe in the 21st century than in the last 20 years. In most cases, it’s happening in places that have received less rainfall over time. Aquifers located in drylands with large farm industries, places such as northern Mexico, parts of Iran & southern California, are particularly vulnerable to rapid groundwater depletion.

@kaia glad I’m too old to worry about this.

In Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, parents are fighting back against an effort led by the local Moms for Liberty member to fire a beloved tennis coach who is trans.

Sasha Yates has coached the girls’ & boys’ tennis teams at Gettysburg Area High School since 2018. She came out as trans in 2021.

On August 21, over 200 residents showed up to the Gettysburg Area School District board meeting after two previous attempts to push Yates out of her job failed.

#MomsForLiberty is a hate group. Period

Misinformation about everything from election fraud to Covid-19 vaccines is reaching millions of Americans through a popular but opaque medium: podcasts.

Many podcasts -- on-demand audio programs which users can listen to on smartphones -- bluntly promote false and unproven claims.

I really miss Walter Cronkite.
