What do you mean I didn’t pack my wallet, Moose?!

Keep an eye on the bags while I backtrack for it, eh? Plush chocolate brown moose perched in the top of an open satchel bag. A canvas bag scattered with disaster icons is tucked next to him. In the background is the corner of rolly luggage. The pocket next to moose is conspicuously empty
Timing your performance art on the indignity of security theatre to take place during an airport screening is clever, Moose.

Maybe not wise, but clever. Plush moose spread facedown in a security bin
Ahahahaha, we don’t need to pack flags & maple syrup to bring Canada with us, Moose. I packed the screaming geese shirts. Plush moose climbing on a store display packed with tacky Canadianna merchandise
Don’t mind me, just repairing a broken Moose-venture travel thread...

Fort Cronkhite, California is one of my fav beaches.

Every beach has many geologic processes are just waiting for you to notice them, but Cronkhite takes you on a geologic tour of the Bay Area. Looking over rocks to surging wavesLooking down a shallow pebble-sand beach with surging waves, bluffs in the distant background
Here’s the cliff bluff of the beach, my Earth Ring (with or without hand) for scale.

Can you see thebeds, layered lines of rock deposited at the same same? See the pebbles?
Those cliffs erode, relinquishing their pebbles on to the beach.

The pebbles were originally from all over the ancient Bay Area, giving us a hand-sized geologic sample of the region.

Once upon a time, an underwater landslide (turbidity current) buried this particular patch of sea floor.

The landslide deposits (turbidite) is that tall yellow sandy bit.
Turbidity currents are an interesting style of landslide because they’re density-driven flows: a dense fluid (water & sediment) running out under a less-dense fluid (seawater) across solid ground.

They can be fast or slow.

Stratigraphy is how geoscientists learn the order of events for a landscape. I always think of it like unravelling a murder mystery where your crime scene is rock.

It only has 6 rules, but you won’t need all of them to read these particular rocks.

I’m still thinking about these fantastic feet (tip via @RallidaeRule)

And while yes, they are indisputably the Best Bird Feet, I’m still feeling strongly that’s a split title with at least a dozen species.
Blue-footed boobies know their feet are spectacular, featuring them in an “Look at mah sexxxy feet!” dance.

Aside: did you know other species of boobies are also adorbs?!
Have you seen snowy owl feet? They’re fluffballs of doom. Like kittens? You’ll love this cozy nest of feathers encompassing freaking terrifying death-talons

#NewZealand: Look, I said this yesterday, and have to emphasize it strongly again today: The Timing Of #AEI Running This Piece by Michael Rubin Warning Of Attacks on “Jews” in #Turkey With #NewZealand Terrorists’ #Manifesto on #Turkey!!- - - washex.am/2Fe6gjy
#NewZealand : I generally hate all the drama-based politically motivated “heightened alert” business by governments (Everywhere!)-However, if I were #Turkey government authority I’d watch out for possible #GladioOps targeting synagogues/Jewish centers here. Something may be up...
#NewZealand: This Guy has come to #Turkey several times for extended stays. He includes #Turkey & Turkish Pres. In his warnings (Manifesto). #Israel lobby’s #AEI issues this insane warning ... I’d say “Heightened Alert” In this Case: would be warranted.

During last night's address, @realDonaldTrump said: "In the last two years, ICE officers made 266,000 arrests of aliens with criminal records including those charged or convicted of 100,000 assaults, 30,000 sex crimes, and 4,000 violent killings." These numbers need context:
@realDonaldTrump It's true, during the last two years, ICE officials arrested 266,000 people. But, ICE reports note that each arrest "may represent multiple criminal charges and convictions." A single person could have committed multiple crimes.
@realDonaldTrump The Pew Research Center made the same point: "The total number of charges and convictions is greater than the total number of arrestees," the center noted in a February 2018 report.

It's time for another deep dive of a script from The Simpsons, showing the differences between what was written & what actually ended up on the air. This time it will be the Season 4 episode “A Streetcar Named Marge”.
This episode was written by Jeff Martin @interbang1Jeff, who also wrote the songs, and was Directed by Rich Moore @_rich_moore. The Showrunners were Al Jean @AlJean & Mike Reiss @MikeReissWriter. If they have any thoughts to share with these tweets, even better!
This is going to be a much more thorough & ambitious examination of a Simpsons episode than I've done in the past, because I have access to more material beyond just 1 script. So if you aren't a Simpsons fan, or interested in script or episode development, you'll want to mute me.
