I'm no good at time conversions but I'm going for 1am UK for kick-off. Apologies to my neighbours in Wales if I wake them up by screaming AURORA! in the wee hours. Gotta be done. This team deserves the support.

Best football writer on the planet, incidentally, is Sophie. Need an educated opinion? She's your go to.

This deserves more eyeballs considering Phallon Tullis-Joyce is also a #marinebiologist. Just in a different league ;)

Regrettably having to give this a boost again. As always, any shares appreciated and no one is ever under any obligation.

The Extreme Weather Report, June 5, 2025. Alarming. But not surprising. And definitely not natural.

This is now confirmed. Meanwhile, Blackburn Rovers will re-enter the pyramid in tier 4. #FAWNL

US climate scientists need all the help they can get. Including from foul-mouthed comedians! 🤡😱😱 Watch Emmy Award-Winning David Cross team up with Prof Michael Oppenheimer in the US launch of the hit series "Climate Science Translated". #climate #arresteddevelopment #climatescience

My colleague at work announced that she'd just become a Grandma. They've named the 8lb 8oz girl Aurora, or Rory for short. I don't know if they're connected to @mnaurorafc.bsky.social (we work in Wales) but I reckon it was subliminal, I might have said I'm a proud owner several (hundred) times.

Business handled. 4-0 win locked in. Next up: back at home on June 6 — don’t miss it.

HT: Aurora lead the Dutch Lions by a single goal as they head for the orange slices. Ava Westlund with the opener. Did you know? Minnesota Aurora FC have never lost a regular season match. Ever. This is their 4th season.

Last day at the GISS building (Wed. May 28th). 🥲

Aurora's regular season so far: WWW When perfectly normal and as predicted is still ever so exciting. [Excited Rory.gif]

YOUR. MOMENT. OF. ZEN.

11am on 31st May 2025 The UK is warm: 2.7°C above normal for the time of day & day of the year. Some places are 6-7°C above normal. Note the coastal locations where a sea breeze is keeping the temperatures around normal. Updated every hour: istheukhotrightnow.com (by @roostweather.bsky.social)

Now when I feel warm I can back it up with data. Limitless potential here along the lines of "Is it wetter than normal?", "Am I hungry?" and "Do I have a grip on reality?" etc.

USWNT now so famous they got to meet the mighty Minnesota Aurora FC. #TealAppeal

I enjoy working with the students on this Masters course, we always get a great multi-disciplinary group of enthusiastic individuals who think creatively and want to make a real difference. If you're looking for a Masters in sustainability, take a look at Exeter! 😀

German court has established that energy companies can be held liable for climate change damages. Given those damages are in the 10s of trillions of USD, this is potentially a massive deal. Huge liabilities for historic polluters as more cases get established.

400 scientists are about to go live for 100 straight hours of pro-science, pro-sanity, pro-safety resistance. ✊🧑‍🔬 Tune in starting at 1pm ET: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcWR...

Arsenal win the Women's Champions League! What a team performance. Fully deserved, today. Only the second British women's team ever to win the club European title. #UWCL

Following over on the beeb, this just happened! Watch live over on: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iz4...

Are you not entertained?

Cat and Mariah on the scoresheet for AURORRRRRRRRAAAA Well played @mnaurorafc.bsky.social 💪⚽ www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5wP...

Tough week at work, time to relax and look forward to the extra long weeken... nah.

If Aurora FC was a beach, I own about 1 grain on that beach. I am very proud of that.

19th June, a mountainous day for us in #Cymru #WoSo I'm old enough to remember when Yr Wyddfa was called Snowdon. The former is an ancient name hiding a violent secret, the latter is because the English didn't care, which is why the Welsh changed it back. Yma o hyd 💪 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

If David Attenborough had chutzpah then natural history documentaries would have been a lot more entertaining.
