If there is a terrorist attack, we must put the blame where it belongs: on the war criminal(s) who incited it.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Chartbook 436 Unseasonal war. How the US-Israeli war on Iran threatens the global agricultural cycle. One impact of the war being waged by the US and Israel against Iran that is not getting as much attention as it deserves, is the impact on the global supply of fertilizer.

Here’s some compounding conflict & climate risks to worry about on a Friday night. 😬🫣

First, we have a growing fertilizer crisis due Iran war As @adamtooze.bsky.social notes, this will hurt poorer countries in Africa the most-but US farmers also feeling the squeeze. (1/x)

How old is the universe? The oldest stars give us a clue Researchers from the University of Bologna and the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) along with other institutes have proposed a new way to address the Hubble tension by comparing estimates of the universe's age rather than its expansion rate.

Precise measurements of ancient Milky Way stars suggest the universe is about 13.6 billion years old, offering an independent perspective on the ongoing Hubble tension debate. doi.org/hbrh9m

I'm generally in favor of letting people take what they want (with appropriate warnings, limits on false marketing, and purity/quality assurances) but these peptides aren't benign. They blind and kill people, and they will be gray market imports with no assurance of quality or purity.
