Proud to know Alex Boodrookas, and beyond disappointed that 20 years after the Iraq invasion, we seem to be back in the same place in terms of American ignorance and hostility to studying the Middle East. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

South Arabia’s prehistoric monument landscape shows social resilience to climate change doi.org/10.1371/jour...

My latest feature is out: As the world has warmed, the regional flaws of climate models have grown apparent. Meanwhile, methods to localize the results of models have proliferated. It all leads to lots of uncertainty -- within a very certain global trend. And cities need answers now.

1,000 years ago, Native farmers transformed Michigan's forests into vast ridged fields of corn, beans, and squash. Drone lidar just mapped the most complete ancient agricultural site in the eastern U.S. #Archaeology #IndigenousFarming #Menominee @science.org

So much nonsense. Feel sorry for people in England and Wales dealing the fallout of Thatcher's selloffs amd vulture capitalism. Doubt it will get better anytime soon www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Masked ICE thugs terrorized Chicago yesterday. They lied to immigrants waiting for their court hearing by summoning them for “surprise check-ins” and then assaulted protesters and elected officials. THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

An exciting battery project - based on rusting iron! - is being developed in Donegal, one of Ireland's most remote outposts. It's a new ultra long-duration energy storage tech, and the subject of my latest column: www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

European airlines are redirecting flights from American cities to destinations like Canada 🍁 🇨🇦 , Mexico, and Brazil as “more passengers [opt] for destinations that offer smoother entry, better seasonal deals, and fewer political complications”. ‼️

Just gonna leave this here...

The science is unequivocal: Our planetary house is on fire. Yet most news coverage is sleepwalking through these developments as if they are simply the new normal.

Tesla’s shares dropped 14% on Thursday in New York, the stock’s biggest decline since March 10, as Elon Musk and Donald Trump feud devolved into a public war. The rout erased about $150 billion from the electric-vehicle maker’s market value

“In a paper published in Nature Communications, the researchers have shown for the first time that mRNA can be delivered into the cells where HIV is hiding, by encasing it in a tiny, specially formulated fat bubble. The mRNA then instructs the cells to reveal the virus.”

In 1885, white rioters murdered dozens of Chinese residents of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The story of the atrocity is still being unearthed 140 years later.

Why isn't this being talked about? aje.io/z10ibg

Still didn't answer the question of whether he did www.i24news.tv/en/news/inte...

Behind closed doors, fossil fuel advocates are trashing carbon capture and storage. @desmog.com obtained audio of Bjorn Lomborg telling a private luncheon CCS is 'not going to happen.' Oil companies only support CCS to get 'a lot of subsidies,' he claimed. www.desmog.com/2025/06/05/c...

We are now risking lives and actively letting people die because they can't afford inhalers. Why? Because insurance companies are emboldened to not cover them under Trump. Cole Schmidtknecht died because of price-gouging — and he didn't have to.

Megan Greenwell's book 'Bad Company,' follows four people as their lives are upended by private equity firms involvement in the retail, housing, local media, and heath care industries. An excerpt ⤵️

Tariffs are the economic equivalent of stepping on a rake.

‘the economy’ - always pictured as cars btw. - gets billions in tax breaks, which will result in a shortfall of over 50 billion by 2028. This gap will be missing to create good living conditions such as affordable housing, healthcare, infrastructure, etc. My bet. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

“World Meteorological Organization report says record heat in 2024 was driven by climate crisis and intersected with extreme weather events” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This will definitely help the situation and in no way lead to further conflict, suffering and continued cover for Israel. Didn't we do this already with Fatah? How did that turn out? Hmmm www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Yup, nothing to see here. Also note the continued presence of forces in a foreign country. BBC News - Held at gunpoint: BBC team detained by Israeli forces in southern Syria www.bbc.com/news/article...

As we celebrate Pride, remember those who are not here. 40,000 squares of the AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C.

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote.

So much winning… (Or is it wheezing? 🤷‍♂️)

The gov’t now says it’ll hire 100 people back at the National Weather Service—a good first step. But don’t be fooled: the rest of NOAA is still in disarray. You can’t forecast storms accurately without satellites, radar, and the science teams behind them.

BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that those people sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15-16 had their due process rights violates and certifies them as a class. He orders that the government "facilitate" the ability for them to seek habeas relief.

i know no one cares about hypocrisy or shamelessness or anything anymore but these people really used to tell us they were scared of an armed govt being turned against americans, they made an entire career out of it

KENNEDY: If Vietnam came to you and said, 'You win. We're gonna remove all tariffs and all trade barriers. Would the US please do the same?" Would you accept that deal? LUTNICK: Absolutely not. That would be the silliest thing we could do KENNEDY: What's the purpose of reciprocity then?

Streetcar ridership did not merely decline. It was deterred. Streetcar passengers did not endanger motorists, but motorists endangered them. In every city, people boarding, alighting from, or waiting for streetcars accounted for a large fraction of pedestrian traffic casualties. ...

Some personal news: I'm no longer white British! *according to Goodwin's 🦇💩 definition

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

"What I found particularly disturbing was that a bomb would drop, maybe on a crowded tented area, and then the drones would come down and pick off civilians, children. And we had description after description. This is not an occasional thing. This was day after day after day." youtu.be/TpVuNncow7k
