Love this stuff. The sedimentology suggests that an earlier outlet of the Schuylkill to the Delaware in Philadelphia (where I live) Is about 10 miles upstream from the current mouth.

Isn't this understood to be an earlier outlet for the Central Valley, i.e. San Francisco Bay?

Hey, can I share some historical context with you about “race-baiter” Ebrahim Rasool? When I see a South African who’s a little older, I always check what they were doing before 1990. 🧐 Found something surprising: As a boy, Rasool and his family were expelled from District Six.

When we unionized a few years ago, a lot of peanut gallery types on social media wanted to tell me it would be the end of Wired. Hope it’s now clear (thanks mostly to our insanely talented and hardworking politics team) that it does not work that way. Unions are good.

This is bad. From the NYT story on Biden's commutations: Another recipient was Michael T. Conahan, a former Pennsylvania judge who was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison in 2011 for wrongfully imprisoning juveniles in two for-profit detention centers in exchange for financial kickbacks.
