This woman is a QUEEN. But also, did you know. A lot of Natural History scientific illustrators in the 19th century, were usually partners and wives of famous male academics. Buckland, Lyell, Mantell, Murchinson, Gould etc. Their academic output was carried by their (invisible) wives.
Local Massachusetts weekly says it's confirmed that the Pentagon was relying on Claude for strike targeting, which is how they came to bomb a girls' school.

I'm happy to share a recently published article with Will Greaves, where we present an original dataset of 164 public opinion polls across the Arctic from 2007-2024 that illustrates the fragmentation of the Arctic into two distinct blocs.

Can't Stop, Won't Stop. Renewables generated what is equivalent to more than a QUARTER of US Electricity needs last year.
"Greenland should be in the news because climate change is disrupting the key role it plays in the world’s climate system and in influencing sea level, with consequences for the livelihoods and lives of billions of people around the globe."
It should be against the law to operate a business and not have a clear mechanism to talk to a real human being when you need to.
"But he didn't know" okay, great, but did he speak out against an overtly sexist, racist power broker, or did he accept the invitations and the money? Because this culture doesn't just happen. It's created by the consent of the people who have access to those spaces.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time
Yet Gaza and Venezuela also demonstrate the intrinsic instability of such a coercive order. The Trump doctrine seeks control in a world that resists domination. By substituting coercion for consent, it multiplies the very crises it ostensibly aims to end. www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...
The #BBNJ Agreement could strengthen biodiversity protection in the Central Arctic Ocean.
However, scientists warn that existing legal frameworks, weak enforcement and competing national interests may limit its impact in one of the ocean’s most politically complex regions.

New paper just dropped. I helped out a bit.
Polar bear visits to human infrastructure increase with sea ice loss, not poor body condition.

The US wants to establish supply chains for critical minerals free of Chinese control. Threatening Greenland will isolate the US from the very partners it needs to achieve this.
"I argue that this visual regime of Arctic melt itself is performative. It produces a kind of slow violence—not through physical destruction, but through infrastructural oversight and the erasure of context and nuance." - Audrey Medaino-Tardif

It's finally happening.
The Swedish prime minister just announced that a pan-European force is arriving in #Greenland as we speak.
No word yet on whether UK forces are among them.

Greenland’s next.
At 7:10 or so the winner of the 2025 Nobel peace prize praises Tr*mp & condones extralegal killings in service of regime change. At 14:15 she tells Biz Forum that Venezuela will be the “energy hub of the Americas,” & the “new global frontier of innovation and wealth creation.”

31. Fascinating article about use of social media to evaluate how war affects dolphins & porpoises in the Black Sea with data on 2500 corpses compiled in just 3 months attesting to how #CitizenScience can be leveraged even during wartime. #TabClosed2026 royalsocietypublishing.org/rsbl/article...
Why are minerals so central to geopolitics? How green are electric cars? Why is anti-mining protest increasing? Can the inequalities of the global economy be transformed?

My take on AI is straightforward: the machine learning plagiarism industrial complex is not sentient. But the fish who have lived on earth continuously in one form or another for half a billion years & who are threatened by AI’s water consumption & climate change impacts are. I choose the fish. 🐟

The ink is hardly dry on this court decision, and yet the folks who unanimously passed the Declaration Act are already threatening to repeal or amend it. How is that good government?

In 2015, Heydens, a Monsanto scientist, suggested that he and colleagues “ghost-write” another scientific paper. Monsanto could pay outside scientists to “edit & sign their names” to the work that he and others would do, Heydens wrote. “Recall that is how we handled Williams Kroes and Munro 2000.”
Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.
So, an OU student a shitty reaction paper in a psych course, got failed by a grad student TA for not following directions and threatened legal action, while also getting her uni TPUSA chapter to post the essay. Her mother is on X saying trans people must not be allowed to be professors.
