If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics. this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.

Storm damaged #soybeans? I’m going to try to answer some questions for soybeans in the early vegetative stage based on work I’ve done.

Corn values falling hard are destroying farmers who were already suffering. Current corn/fert ratio's: Urea - much better value than the high, but still expensive vs corn UAN - stupidly high DAP - near all-time high's Potash - no longer as well valued as it previously was

Today will go down as the craziest weather day I have ever covered in my home state. Gambled east in the open warm sector / modifying outflow regime ahead of the PFT/cold front and it paid off in the form of numerous large, damaging, but photogenic tornadoes in central Illinois.

Solar and related batter installs made up 91% (!) of all new energy added to the U.S. grid in Q1 — and that’s mostly before the war and after Trump ripped out subsides in the IRA.

Let's walk through what actually happened here, in order. DOGE cut the USAID program specifically designed to prevent screwworm from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. DOGE cut USDA's animal disease control and prevention funding. That funding had supported more than 180 outbreak investigations in 22 countries and capacity-building in more than 160 laboratories. The screwworm monitoring and response program that watched the border for exactly this parasite - cut. Then screwworm showed up in Texas cattle. Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a disaster for Zavala and Uvalde counties this week. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins went on CNBC this morning and blamed the Biden administration, 17 months out of office. Her specific words: "obviously not much had been done to push back." The program that was supposed to push back existed. DOGE eliminated it in March 2025. Rollins has been Agriculture Secretary since February 13, 2025. The cuts happened on her watch. Beef prices are already high. Ranchers in south Texas are now dealing with a flesh-eating parasite that was eradicated in this country in the 1960s - eradicated, specifically, using the sterile fly program her department defunded. The flies existed. The program existed. The budget existed. Until it didn't.
Trump's agriculture secretary laid the blame for the outbreak on the Biden administration, despite it being more than 17 months since Biden's term ended. thedailybeast.com/brooke-rol…

Uh, yeah, ok Doug. Would I want to attack 10,000 windmills or one ND coal fired power plant's transmission towers if I were a terrorist disrupting power supply?

THE FIRST EXTREME RISK in 8 years has been issued by Environment Canada for southeastern Saskatchewan into southwestern Manitoba. We expect a full-blown #tornado outbreak up here this late afternoon and evening. Stay tuned to severe weather watches and warnings in the pink zone

Is deep see mining the real freedom to pull this monitoring system?!
This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention. The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean. And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them. Record-breaking temperatures. A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse. The response? Yank out the instruments and walk away. That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency. For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives. The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident. That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first. cnn.com/2026/06/03/climate/o…

I am from Western ND and a Geologist in ND. I have consulted on CO2 EOR and it would probably be a disaster for western ND. x.com/DamionKnudsen/status/2…

Replying to @POTUS
@potus @realdonaldtrump @seckennedy @SecretaryBurgum @NDSUGeology @SecretaryWright @trentloos @NDSU @undeerc @GovArmstrong @NDGov @NDagriculture @NDPSC @SenJohnHoeven @SenKevinCramer @RepFedorchak What is going on in Western ND? The drought in western ND and the light pollution map line up well sometimes through the years. It would appear those flares are producing a HEAT ISLAND comparable to Chicago or LA or any major city in America! I have personally watched on radar and recorded storm systems dissipating as they travel over that "flare" region and then reform after it passes over. Heat Islands form in other parts of the world where they flare gas. 2 big examples are the Niger Delta and the Western Amazon! I will not forget October 5th, 2024! Greed killed people on that day! Greed has been killing people in that part of the country for years! I remember getting H2S gas in my basement bedroom and waking up to headaches for years in near Ray, ND in Western ND. The H2S was strong enough around there to cause massive die offs through the years. Whole valleys of birds would die sometimes from the H2S leaks into the air and our water and so forth! People actually died at the well as they worked on it! Like I said I will not forget that day and for sure GOD will not forget October 5th, 2024! How about June 20th, 2025? Anyone forgetting that day in Eastern ND? How about the record tornado year ND had starting on that day? Is anyone forgetting that?
