gods I wish there would be repercussions for the DOJ staff who directed this but… and please can judges stop thinking they can trust politicals in the administration to follow norms and, you know, the law

One thing that’s difficult to explain to people who don’t live in DC, and are inclined to think we’re maybe being a touch hysterical, is how much this administration hates our city, is actively trying to ruin it, and wants to make every single person living in it as miserable as possible.

In @rollingstone.com, I talked with @thorbenson.bsky.social about the new climate assessment priorities work led by Melissa Kenney, @bobkopp.net, and me. I said, “Just because a threat is not articulated by the federal govt doesn’t mean the threat’s going away”. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Thinking about our Philippines work. Would be interesting to map what’s required under law vs MEAT. We got $ to get a community-led mgmt plan approved by the mgmt board (we did). But we aren’t funded to continue engagement to out years for M&E. Working w academics to raise other $ for them to do it.

I will also again make a plea to funders and budget planners to ensure an explicit line item in MPA implementation work for monitoring and evaluations. Otherwise it doesn’t happen.

I think more than just one "marine biologist" fears the effect of CO2 (ocean acidification)... my dear RNZ. Particularly on the overall picture of "Reducing greenhouse gas emissions was the solution" www.rnz.co.nz/news/environ...

Fair question! Flax and chia seeds, walnuts, kelp/nori,algal oils are all options. I think there are also eggs enriched with omega-3s. Peer reviewed science about fish oil supplements is not entirely clear on outcomes in any case (eg effective dose, actual outcomes).

Did you also know that there is a company that catches huge amount of this fish to grind it up into fish oil? Taking those fish away from osprey and striped bass. This is the cost of the pushing of fish oil supplements. www.ssentinel.com/company-plan...

You ever come across a brand from your own country that’s either very mid or possibly out of business altogether, but existing elsewhere in the world totally thriving? I give you: Shakey’s Pizza in the Philippines. Shot on the beach in Borocay (kinda their Ocean City, MD for those Stateside).

Evening shot of a strip of beachfront restaurants with lit signs, “Shakey’s” being closest. KFC further down. People walking along the sandy strip in front. Dark beach and palm trees along the other side.
