Researchers developed a new habitat-mapping framework that combines remote sensing, field data and expert input to visualize where species live and predict future habitats.
The project maps habitat availability for four species, helping identify areas for protection, restoration and rewilding.
The Iran/US/Israel war might have already broken the record for the highest number of AI-generated videos and images that have gone viral during a conflict.
Interestingly, I said the exact same thing right after the 12-day war in June.

Sometimes Wallace Wells is just obtuse; years ago, it was "I don't recycle". Now it's this.
The whole country is rising up against data centers & the fights are producing environmental victories & it's changing the electoral landscape—yet it's a distraction? How does that work?

🚨As expected, one of the Avelo planes purchased by Daedalus Aviation last month has emerged from the remodeling shop with a new registration number and a new owner: DHS. No news on its livery yet.
This is set to become one of ICE’s own deportation planes.

"Did you see Ted Cruz is pushing for $200 billion in tax cuts? That would help our economy so much!"
LOL.
He's asking for tax cuts on capital gains. That means billionaires and giant corporations, not you.
You know what would actually help working people?
Taxing the rich.
If you are not deeply ashamed to be from the US at this point in our history, I don't want to know you.
If you're not putting in The Work—however you personally define it— to make this country miles better than it is at this point in our history, I definitely don't want to know you.

“The biggest short-term losers of Trump's war? US consumers of oil and gas, as prices of energy rise,” Gleick says. “The three biggest winners are fossil-fuel-company profits, Russian fossil-fuel revenue, & Chinese sales of renewable energy and electric vehicles.”

On Fox, Energy Bro Chris Wright promises the public that the surge in gasoline prices "will definitely be temporary."
Wright dances with the cursed *transitory* word, arguing that this is "a transient bump up ... in gasoline prices," which he says is "a small price to pay" to destroy Iran.

Vice President JD Vance argued voters should have patience with the pace of economic improvements, saying that despite what he described as progress, there was “no way” the Trump administration would have been able to quickly reverse Biden-era cost-of-living setbacks. Officials “have to be honest with the American people” about what is possible, Vance said in an interview with The Washington Post. “The idea, as much as I would like it to be true, that we were going to completely undo the $3,000 of take-home pay that was eroded under the Biden administration, and we’re going to fix that in a day — there was no way it was ever going to happen,” Vance said in the interview on Thursday while traveling back from an event in Wisconsin.
New Vance spin: “The idea, as much as I would like it to be true, that...we're going to fix [the economy] in a day — there was no way it was ever going to happen.”

The USDA’s discrimination against Black farmers is widely documented, contributing to a historic decline in land loss. Yet, it’s also rooted in a little-known but powerful county committee system, where Black farmers have been denied resources & access to programs.

The killing of a head of state is a major crime, the normalization of which would open a horrible Pandora’s box of lawless state action, and the world should be unified in condemning U.S.-Israeli lawlessness.
