Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

The people who go to supermarkets at weekend are a very different species to weekday shoppers. It feels like they’ve just materialised for their first day on earth in the Tesco fresh produce section. No, you can’t just stand there. Yes, that’s a carrot. Well done.

If you put ten children in a room with a single large red button that launches all nukes, it would be a genuine threat to humanity. But it doesn't mean children are a human extinction risk. It means the person who puts them near the nuke button is a human extinction risk.

The Toco toucan 63 cm Largest heaviest in the toucan family central and eastern South America Their beak acts as a heat radiator. By controlling blood flow to the bill, the toucan releases body heat to cool down. At night, they tuck their giant beaks under their back feathers to keep warm.

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

a teeny tiny little frog is living in the bottom of one of my tomato pots inaturalist says it's a spring peeper or some kind of chorus frog "spring peeper" is such a cute name for a little cute frog <3

Little brown frog on a piece of wood. He is a light brown with a darker brown X pattern on his back. His little toes ared sticking out so you can see the sticky pads at the tips. Super cute little frog.

Finger for scale showing how small the little frog is. It's about the size of my finger tip to the first knuckle and about as wide as a thumb.

Hope you get some time outside and find some peace this weekend. 🪶

Photo of a Great Blue Heron and Wood Duck drake in a pond surrounded by lily pads by user readerwalker on Flickr. Text on graphic is the poem The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry (1934-2026) "When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free."

My kids all know this too. If a cat spits at you, you've gotta hang around doing things for another couple of minutes, even if you were about to leave. Tidy the crate, straighten blankets, mess with the litter. ANYTHING so they don't think that spitting makes humans run.

To anyone who does not live in Paris but visits the city at regular intervals (as I do), the transformation has been staggering: Paris has been reclaimed from cars. It can be done, and could be done in London too. It is all about political will and taking the risk of being unpopular - for a while.
