It has really hit home to me this week, spending time with European allies, how much the vibe has shifted regarding the USA - not only for the present, but for the foreseeable future. Not a blip, but a fundamental reorganisation of our outlook. You can't surge trust, and it is largely lost.

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).
