🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: 18-year-old Arya Satheesh from Ireland has developed a plant-based plastic that can biodegrade and release an enzyme that helps break down other plastic waste. A plastic that could actually help clean up plastic waste.

Highly-endangered Hawksbill Turtle hatchlings emerging from the sand and marching to begin their life in the unimaginably vast ocean. One of the most amazing experiences of my life. As a volunteer, we do not divulge their whereabouts. My heart is melted. #herps #love #marinelife #nokings #turtle

It's strange how Democratic Socialists - who are being denounced by both parties - turned major deficits into balanced budgets in both New York and Seattle.

If you watched Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearing, what you saw was gaslighting. He promised senators he’d listen to Epstein survivors. They met. According to Liz Stein, they got no real answers, no accountability, and no meaningful commitments. She says they were treated like political pawns.

The AI data center “race to the bottom” worsens our real climate perils. In a decent world, the industry would agree on safety standards. The billionaires and putative billionaires behind these projects could easily afford to be responsible. They choose not to be.
A Bloomberg NEF graph titled "Data Centers Are Guzzling Up Gas in the US." Graph depicts future projections of gas consumption driven by data centers by region of the country, from 2020-2035. Graph shows a gradual increase in gas consumption every year, primarily in the East region.

The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.

Preventing some Iranian villagers from getting drinking water does nothing to prevent the IRGC from firing missiles and drones. Water is a red line. I know those of you who hate the US military and US foreign policy won’t care about the difference, but it’s significant, with very bad implications.

Here's the way around having to pretend that Mitch McConnell is not dead, if that is indeed the case. We should all agree on this point: if Mitch McConnell can't be wheeled to a podium for a live press conference to speak, then he is not competent to serve. newrepublic.com/post/213199/...
