Sugarcane burning is a plague on these Black Floridians
“I like to call it 'structured' racism.”
Today I learned that when sugarcane farmers burn their fields, a “black snow” falls for months on communities downwind. Under FL law, burns are prohibited when the wind is blowing into wealthy, white neighborhoods. They’re only allowed when it’s blowing into poor, majority black areas.

Jar of New! Adult Robitussin Long-Acting Cough Soft Chews. It promises FAST relief ANYWHERE with up to eight hour cough relief but I am not sure eight hours of cough relief, if it occurs, is worth the "berry flavor" of the chews.
Have you ever thought to yourself, I wish I could get really bad tasting cough syrup, but then chew it instead of just swallowing it quickly? If so, have I got a product for you! I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't the horror I encountered...

The Hole in Peru’s Nazca Ridge National Reserve | Hakai Magazine
By allowing fishing to persist in the protected area, biologists say the country’s new marine reserve fails to protect the unique Nazca Ridge ecosystem.
If you're a marine scientist interested in adding your name to a letter supporting the exclusion of industrial fishing in Peru's Nazca Ridge #MPA, please shoot me a DM. #PaperParks #Fisheries #30x30 #MarineConservation #MarinePolicy

So the thing is the administration mostly just wants to say it won, it doesn't care about specifics. Brown reached a "settlement" not requiring change, you'd think Harvard and Columbia could do this if they cared enough.

Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work
A new Department of Energy report “fundamentally misrepresents” climate research and leaves out key context, multiple scientists cited in the report tell WIRED.
NEW: i spoke to nine (!) scientists across several disciplines whose work was cited in the new Department of Energy report that downplays the severity of climate change. all of them say their work was misrepresented, cherry picked, and/or lacked context —

I believe white culture is capable of deeply embracing two songs at once.
In fact, having been to many white people weddings, I'd add the electric slide and the twist to this, fully acknowledging the non-white roots of most of these bangers.

UK Cabinet Pushes Starmer to Hasten Backing of Palestinian State
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing pressure from senior members of his government and French President Emmanuel Macron to imminently recognize Palestine as a sovereign state due to the worsening...
In wake of Macron's surprise announcement that he would go it alone and have France recognize the State of Palestine, the British cabinet is growing increasingly frustrated with Starmer's resistance to recognition and is urging him to join France immediately.

Listening to this interview of this whistleblower and it’s about as clearcut as you can ask for. Trump officials wanted him to lie to judges, claiming an immigrant was a gang member. He refused to. Then he was fired. This is why civil service protections, now being ignored, matter.
