Breaking News! Code Yikes! This year recorded the 3rd hottest peak temperature since daily records began in 1940 at 16.86°C. This is likely the 3rd hottest peak temperature in the last 120,000 years. By comparison, the pre-industrial baseline average yearly max was 15.48°C.

Ironically every report of a road crash these days seems to include a request from police for people to submit dashcam, cctv, doorbell footage for review so there's enough resources available to look at videos of road crimes when it suits them to.

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.
Reporter: How did the Israelis treat you, we saw them giving sandwiches?
Greta Thunberg: They probably have posted lots of PR stunts, they did an illegal act by kidnapping us in international waters but that’s not the real story here. The real story is the genocide in Gaza and systematic starvation.
Reporter: Are you worried about the others?
Greta: Yes…I’m calling for everyone who can to mobilize to demand their immediate release and, of course, to demand not only humanitarian aid being let into Gaza but also a ceasefire and most importantly an end to the occupation, an end to the systemic oppression and violence that Palestinians are facing on an everyday basis.
Reporter: “Why do you think so many countries and governments around the world are just ignoring what’s happening in Gaza?”
Greta Thunberg: “Because of racism.”

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.
 quote on a dark blue and purple background from Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), criticizing proposed cuts to science funding in the FY26 U.S. federal budget. The quote reads:

“If enacted, the FY26 budget request would end America’s global scientific leadership. The cuts to science would imperil our nation’s future health, security and prosperity. This budget proposal stands in stark contrast to the President’s call for a renewed commitment to American scientific leadership. Congress has demonstrated a bipartisan commitment to investment in research and must do so again to answer the President’s call.”
The quote is attributed to Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of AAAS and Executive Publisher of the Science family of journals. The AAAS logo appears at the bottom right.

"How many acts of genocide does it take to make a genocide?" As people debate the term "genocide," I think back to this question we asked the Biden administration just a few months ago, back in December. Israeli forces have killed at least 10,000 people since then.

I dislike the phrase "inadequate demand," so often used to explain sluggish economies. We have plenty of demand. But people with real unmet needs lack the money to buy, while the rich can afford superyachts. We have to stop pussyfooting around the need for a massive redistribution of wealth.

Researchers in Costa Rica found that pig carcasses decomposed twice as fast when vultures had access to them. The absence of vultures led to a doubling of fly populations at carcass sites, which could affect human health, since these flies can carry diseases like botulism and anthrax.
