WAR-TORN PORTLAND

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

One Year After Klamath Dam Removal, 'There's Just Fish Jumping All Over the Place': Scientists Describe Improvements to Water Quality and Wildlife

Hanging onto every bit of good news

The river has come alive in the Klamath with wild Chinook salmon. The wider ecosystem is healing.

This most powerful story of Indigenous-led #rewilding after the largest dam removal in US history keeps getting better.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X? John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

Spices for Coronation Coleslaw, slaw in a bowl and in a sandwich.

I love the colours of the spices in this curried slaw.

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins • 6m Omri Miran was one of the seven living hostages just handed over to the Red Cross. Kaitlan Collins Y @kaitlancolli... •11h I first spoke with Moshe Lavi in November 2023, one month after his brother-in-law was kidnapped by Hamas. He told me then how his sister would take their daughters out to look at the stars at night and wish goodnight to dad - something she continued for two years. Omri Miran

H Haaretz 18 minutes ago Father of hostage Guy Gilboa Dalal: Guy handed over to Red Cross, will be handed over to IDF in 15 minutes Ilan Dalal, father of Israeli hostage Guy Gilboa Dalal, said that his son "was handed over to the Red Cross, and in fifteen minutes he is expected to be handed over to the IDF, and then he will arrive here." He added, "This is a dream come true, we are euphoric, very excited and dying to hug him."

Seeing such familiar names now being released seems utterly surreal. Just an incredible moment

Seven hostages have just been handed over by Hamas to the International Red Cross in the Gaza Strip, they include Matan Angrest, Gali Berman, Ziv Berman, Alon Ohel, Eitan Mor, Guy Gilboa Dalal, and Omri Miran.

Into the thermocline with some whitetip sharks. This trip was my first real thermocline experience, and it was wild to be able to see the water change. I felt like I was entering a portal into a different reality. #MarineLife #scuba #sharks
