a shirt design featuring a skateboarding boy who may look somewhat similar to a famous skateboarding boy from a cartoon but it's impossible to know for sure because there's a black bar over his eyes, holding his own severed head and saying "anything subversive or countercultural can and will be commodified and re-absorbed by existing social order, defanged and neutralized, reduced to an aesthetic pose. No product can ever be radical, man." in blue and red on white

Laura Revell, me & @sundogplanets.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy:
"a million satellites could mean that a teragram of alumina accumulates in the upper atmosphere – enough, alongside launch emissions, to significantly alter atmospheric chemistry and heating in dramatic ways we do not yet understand."

A new space race could turn our atmosphere into a ‘crematorium for satellites’ Planned ‘megaconstellations’ of satellites could cause unforeseen harm to the ozone layer and climate systems. Global regulation is needed before it’s too late.

"Rocket launches already contribute to climate change and ozone depletion. Scaling them up to deploy a million aircraft-sized satellites would push upper-atmosphere heating and ozone loss far beyond previous estimates, with the steady burn-up of dead satellites compounding the impacts." 🧪🛰️🚀

Social and ecological factors associated with innovation in urban sulphur-crested cockatoos (Cacatua galerita) Cities are challenging places for wildlife, but some species, like sulfur-crested cockatoos, adapt by finding new ways to feed and solve problems. We studi

New paper alert! 🦜

We gave wild cockatoos puzzle boxes across Canberra’s urban gradient. The finding? Urban birds approach faster, but are not better solvers.

Our results suggest that urbanization shapes neophobia independently from cognitive performance. Read it here:

Natural or clamped, I can do both.

Yep. It sucks.

Besides the show being wildly funny, clever, and incredibly well put together, it also appears that the people making Strip Law are also absolutely COOL AS HELL.

Every single bit on that show, down to the tiniest background references, are *so solid*

This sounds like an Onion headline. I don't know how it works in the UK, is the government motivated by tax revenue from the operations or something?

It is it actually just as callous as it appears on its face?

Spoiler: It will be much worse than feared.

Message to Australia, & the City of Gold Coast specifically (who I advised for a while years ago).

Allowing a “Trump Tower” on your skyline was a big mistake even before he went into politics. Just google my name and Trump Tower Vancouver for an example.

I think I'm going to start rereading Transmetropolitan.

Feels fitting.

When you read this whole thread, you might want a cold glass of water at the end.

Because you will probably will end up staring into the middle distance and making The Face.

I started watching Strip Law (it's excellent) and it took me a long time to get through the first couple episodes because I was hitting the pause constantly to catch all of the gags stuffed into every corner.

It really shines through that everyone involved was really going for it.

I love it.

Exactly, and painfully correct take.

I'm the one cooking here, give me stock that I don't have to fraction off like my first year of chemistry.

Cartoon summarising a new article about radioactivity levels in Sydney, by physicist Laura Manenti. The full article is: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0265931X2600024X

A very interesting article about radioactivity levels in Sydney (mainly due to the different rock types underneath the city).

Mapped in detail for the first time by Laura Manenti @sydney.edu.au and undergraduate students Tengiz Ibrayev and Matilda Lawton.

Up to the point where they went to foiling boats, I would absolutely expect that.

Graph of CO2 concentrations for the past 800,000 years from the Antarctic ice cores, showing current CO2 levels of 430 ppm are far, far higher than any level over this period, which never exceeded 300 ppm. Also shown is the emergence of Homo sapiens around 200,000 years ago -- so CO2 levels are higher than we've ever experienced.

You are here.
We've breached 430 ppm CO2.
