Hey.

Minnesotans.

Tell your MN State House Rep to support HF 146.

https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.php?b=House&f=HF146&ssn=0&y=2023

It's the trans refuge bill, proposed by my rep, Leigh Finke. The gist is that the laws of other states hunting down trans people who have fled their unjust and inhumane laws cannot apply in Minnesota because they are against our laws.

No Fugitive Trans Acts allowed in Minnesota.

"we examined 146,327 streets in 30 major European cities in 17 different EU member states or candidate countries. On average, 90.4 percent of streets named after individuals are called after men. In the city with the smallest gender gap – Stockholm – streets named after men still account for more than 80 per cent."

It's #tax season, so #TurboTax is once again advertising just about everywhere.

Remember:
• TurboTax spent decades fighting to stop Americans from filing taxes for free:

• There are ways to file for free without TurboTax:

🚨 Unsurprisingly, average #Antarctic sea ice extent was the lowest on record for February 2023. This was 1,160,000 km² below the 1981-2010 average.

A new study about seabirds and offshore wind turbines may surprise you.

A two-year, €3 million study of seabirds at an offshore wind farm off Scotland combined radar data with cameras to identify the species of seabird and create a three-dimensional image of birds’ flight patterns and how they avoid offshore wind turbines’ rotor blades.

The study’s findings: Not a single collision between a bird and a rotor blade was recorded.

“Renewable energy critics love to point out that it takes 255 tons of coal to build a wind turbine,” Michael Thomas point out in a twitter thread. “But it would take a coal-fired power plant 154,494 tons of coal to generate as much electricity as a wind turbine produces over its entire life.”

Skeptical Science founder John Cook turned out of bed in Melbourne Australia at 3a today to deliver testimony about climate misinformation on social media, to the EU Parliament's "Special Committee on foreign interference in all democratic processes in the European Union, including disinformation."

The session includes many experts, is a one-stop shop for information.

John's segment begins at 16:35:12.
