@caoimhesport.bsky.social Your piece on Darwin today was quite lovely

Man, I hear you. I'll watch because I have to, but I slip them when I can. The one consolation is that Turki is proving so bad at this that I wonder how long he'll last.

MAGA: It's so great to have a president with all his faculties.
Donald Trump: Rosie O'Donnell is a threat to humanity.

@sachinnakrani.bsky.social Lovely piece on Diogo today, mate.

What fracking is doing to the Earth—and to our bodies Beneath layers of ancient rock, a high-pressure process is reshaping the modern energy landscape. As fracking expands across the globe, so does the growing debate around its impact.

SEHN's @ssteingraber1.bsky.social spoke to @kieranmulvaney.bsky.social about our work detailing the risks and harms of #fracking. “This is a public health crisis.”

Remembering dreams of a green peace - Land and Climate Review The Bering Strait region has always been a hotbed of geopolitical tension - but its future is now more uncertain than ever, says Kieran Mulvaney.

My early pick is Bud by UD. I think and have long thought he's a generational talent, and Canelo is very much on the downslope.

(BTW, thanks for making me think about Bert doing his thing for this fight.)

I love the smell of red flares in the morning.

I think you're 100% correct.

Invading Greenland Won’t Protect Us From the Climate Crisis | Common Dreams It is of course possible that further melting will lead to increased tensions in which Arctic territory becomes an especially valued possession. But other threats are far more urgent, including the on...

Donald Trump says the US needs Greenland. He needs to acknowledge the dangers from climate change first. By me for @commondreams.org
