When farms stop yielding, hunger does not knock — it breaks the door. Across the Horn of Africa, soils that once fed nations are turning barren. This is not “bad weather.” This is climate change rewriting our food systems in real time.

China imports some coal anyway. But of all the things the US could seek in bilateral negotiations at this moment, making coal a priority is... stupid. No amount of US government support can indefinitely sustain an industry whose long-term decline is well underway. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

US Says China to Buy 10 Million Tons of Coal in 2027 and 2028
China agreed to import at least 10 million metric tons of coal from the US next year and again in 2028, according to the White House, in a sign of progress in easing trade frictions.

This is cool & similar to other infant care & feeding measures (suckling, kiss feeding), which in chimpanzees are overwhelmingly led by infants themselves & rarely by mothers, whereas in humans it's flipped: caregivers initiate interactions most. www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Israel guided 1.5 million Palestinians into Rafah. They moved the "safe zone" further and further south, until Rafah was all that was left. Now they're bombing Rafah, and people have nowhere to go, nowhere to flee. It's genocide.

This is monstrous. “A house on the beach is not a dream” An company from #Israel who specialises in Jewish housing in Occupied Palestine is already promoting a house on the beach over the ruins of #Gaza. Settler-colonialism on the back of ethnic cleansing of #Palestine. Monstrous.
Tweet from @Lana_Tabour a researcher in colonialism and Palestine. 

Two pictures, one showing the ruins of a devastated area in Gaza bombed by Israel, with architectural schematics of new housing from an Israeli company planning to build over the ruins of Palestinian Houses and buildings where Palestinians were murdered. The second shows a colourful schematic of where these new Israeli beachfront properties are due to go, as if in a brochure. 

Tweet reads "“A house on the beach is not a dream”: An Israeli real estate company specialising in Jewish settlements in the West Bank is planning for the day after. This is beyond aspirational, their staff is already working on plans."
