For Earth Day, here is my recent story for the New Yorker on scientists studying the "Doomsday Glacier" in Antarctica, and the harrowing expedition we took there in 2022. I hope you enjoy, and please share it if you do!

@alwayscoffee Well it’s time for us to take over this place :-)

@alwayscoffee Welcome! :-D

@zoocoup I have poor browser hygiene, I confess.

Anxiety is five editors at the New Yorker working on your story at the same time. I will never get used to it. And they're all geniuses, so with every change, you see your own shortcomings. But I feel such a profound joy and humility and am deeply honored to be part of it all.

This story, on climate change, drops one week from tomorrow!

Studiously avoiding social media until tonight, lest someone spoil the Picard Season 3 finale, which xaps off a story I have waited for since 1994 (!), when I watched "All Good Things..." on my mom's little plastic TV in the living room (which sat atop a giant broken wooden one)! #picard #startrek #space #federation #trek #star #television #happy #joy #love #makeitso

For those watching the #starship launch this morning, over at Supercluster I have an exclusive interview with the head of Dragon. We discuss its role in a post-Starship world, and how the one enabled the other. Big things are ahead for Dragon, including spacewalking astronauts, and docking with Hubble to boost it and extend its life. I hope you enjoy! #space #spacex #dragon #falcon #elonmusk #rocket #astronomy #nasa https://www.supercluster.com/editorial/the-road-dragon-paved-for-starship

@dsmdexter Haha! I had a rare opening and I took it. I had to replace the battery (the battery saver could only do so much I’m afraid) and wash that nasty thing. It was worth it.

@whknott I know Vermont must be gorgeous riding when the weather is right.

@whknott Mid-City, in a block between Tulane Ave and Canal.

@whknott Well get a bike and get over here man! We’ll get on the Causeway and open them up!

@whknott I found this one locally (New Orleans) just before bikes became as hard to find as used cars. I wasn’t going to get it, then I saw it, and that was that hahah

@whknott No mods or anything (well, I changed the clutch and brake levers)

@whknott Thank you! F900R. I love it. Do you ride?

Gorgeous weather + story is off to the fact checkers + a couple weeks ahead without travel = back on the bike 🏍️. #motorcycle #spring #bike

@TheDinosaurDave For All Mankind is extraordinary. I cannot wait to see what happens next season. Just a magnificent show.

@TheDinosaurDave I keep hearing how that show became the Trek we wanted but not the one CBS was willing to give us.

@memerman Gorgeous.

@TheDinosaurDave You are the second person to make that suggestion. I will give it a go, cautiously.

@JKrotkov Perfect snowstorm watching
