Penguins peacefully protesting and marching in solidarity in cities all across Heard Island and McDonald Islands…

Good to see so many kids out yesterday

POWER TO THE PEOPLE of PITTSBURGH! Hey, Trump! Hey, Musk! Hey, GOP! The people of America are speaking, and you better be listening! HANDS OFF!

Happy International Asexuality Day!!!🖤🩶🤍💜

ADMIN REVEAL: Our tireless Gov Social media manager (also our sec of finance), has had quite the week. Pingu the chinstrap penguin has learned alt text, created a commerce merch store, and has become worryingly sage on the topic of guano’s chemical and economic value. Thank you Pingu

Unbeknownst to her, we have entered into a pro-bono contract with @danambergstrom.bsky.social to ensure that recent attention is used to further Antarctic knowledge. Precision matters. Correct use of AI and geographically correct species matter (ie Adelie penguins, Emperors, walrus’ not here).

“You can tariff our fish, but you will never take..Our FREEDOMMM!! -William Walrus, Militant leader of McDonald Island

Poignant letter by a mother: “Don’t worry love, they will never wrestle you from us. They could tariff the air we breathe, seas we swim, valleys we waddle upon. They may hunt us, chase us, imprison us.. and I promise that I will never let their greed corrupt our happiness. With you forever.”

🇬🇧🇺🇸NSF Diego Garcia🇺🇸🇬🇧 Latest view of the situation at Diego Garcia (31 March 2025) via Sentinel 2 Appears to be 5x B-2 Spirit Stealth Bombers on the south apron as well as 6x other aircraft (likely KC-135 but could also be C-17A or P-8A)

Someone is running a circle spoofer pointing to Null Island (lat 0°, lon 0°). Circle spoofers were first documented in China (Shanghai iirc?), later by me and @giammaiot.bsky.social in Mersin, Turkey. This one discovered by @claudialanz.bsky.social The tracks of those ships ought to show origin.

New piece out in @foreignaffairs.com by @marksbell.bsky.social and me. We argue that as the USA pulls back from Europe, including its nuclear arsenal, European leaders face a nuclear trilemma. Access the full piece via this link: www.foreignaffairs.com/europe/europ... Short summary below: 1/x
