The Sea Urchin Apocalypse Is Real, and It Might Be Spreading Globally, Scientists Warn New research has uncovered a mass die-off of sea urchins living in the Canary Islands—one that could signal an ongoing marine pandemic.

Reality keeps asserting itself whether we’re ready or not. We are watching sea urchins collapse across oceans, another reminder that Earth systems don’t care about our attention, consensus, or permission. A dramatic rethink of security has never been clearer.

To clarify:
Burnham wasn't a candidate.
He applied for permission to step down as Mayor early, which would need NEC to create a special waiver for the rules forbidding that. The rule stood

He wasn't "blocked" & NEC didn't "interfere"
Existing rules didn't allow him to be a candidate (which he knew)

Andy is a good mayor.
Keir has had 18 months as PM and a plethora of absolute crap to deal with. The Tories left him a failing economy, shortened life expectancy(!) NHS just off its knees, and a v bad Brexit. In April, Lab will start to lift 430 k children out of poverty. Let's give Keir a chance.

I know I keep writing about this,but the level of delusion is staggering. How do so many people think Reform will 'save the country' when it’s led by defected Tories from the worst cabinet in UK history?It’s not change, just same failures,new logo,and people cheering like it’s a revival,not a rerun.

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

Venezuela’s acting president says she has had “enough” of US orders | CNN Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodríguez said Sunday she has had “enough” of Washington’s orders, as she works to unite the country after the US capture of its former leader Nicolás Maduro.

Internally, there are divisions among Maduro loyalists, left-wing fractures who have opposed the direction of the government and “Chavistas No-Maduristas” – supporters of the late Hugo Chávez who reject Maduro, accusing him of betraying 21st-century socialist ideals.

Thanks for posting. I'm not sure 5% by 2035 is enough. It's also absolutely true that Russia is continuing m its stance that boots on the ground from any peacekeeping country will make that country a legitimate military target.
Sadly, the discussions for peace are currently not going anywhere.
