If you missed it - this is @chrismurphyct.bsky.social describing the transfer of wealth from ordinary people to the very wealthy, happening right now youtu.be/MXZuHf7LMZE?...

That man says whatever and should never ever have gotten the level of power he has. Only thing that he has ever done is a failure upwards by lying about everything at any time.

Hey team. The resistance rallying cry must be to declare trump a traitor and to demand his impeachment. If it gets loud enough, believe it or not, congress WILL act. #traitortrump #impeachtrump steady.substack.com/p/chaos-comp...

For anyone looking to understand this traitor's actions, it's truly this simple. There is no other explanation. #TraitorTrump

The problem with CNN and other U.S media I fear is that they keep inviting Donald Trump propagandist and treating them like they have normal views on what is going on. They do not. Their whole thing is propaganda and nothing else. Donald Trump supporters should be excluded from the discussion.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

#eclogite, the most beautiful rock type on earth.😍

Remarkable and very drastic tapestry on the wall of the Iglesia de Santa Ursula, Adele, Tenerife. Depicting a biblical scene where an angel prevents a man from beheading a woman, with a pyre next to it, crass.

I spoke with Mercedes & BMW about how they're asking Germans to vote and oppose extremism in Sunday's election. Mercedes says the AfD would be bad for business. Dozens of businesses have gotten together to make the call, which I covered in a radio piece for Monocle and for its newsletter:

The cabochon looks as if it has a deep blue color, thus it could be Lapis lazuli.

First chart👇 is WNA's #Nuclear demand vs #Uranium supply forecast in tU rather than lbs, showing their forecast supply deficit.↕️ But that's also not correct as WNA only uses reactor burn-rate, ignoring 3X fuel loads for new reactors, restocking of inventories, etc.😔 2nd chart gives fuller picture.🖼️🤠

That’s life 😀

That the way we should do it 👍

February 12, 1809, birthday of Charles #Darwin 🎂 From an early age, he collected minerals even if, as he himself laments,I continued collecting minerals with much zeal, but quite unscientifically--all that I cared about was a new-named mineral...

Watching me - watching you. During a sunny day on Tenerife. #reptile

#Science 🧪 In this recent interview, Patrick Cramer, President of the MPG, Germany did not have to point out that it was the USA that took in scientists fleeing or expelled by Nazi Germany in the 1930s... @carlbergstrom.com @carlzimmer.com @philipcball.bsky.social @bnerlich.bsky.social

On top of everything else, there's an asteroid with a small but nonzero chance of hitting Earth on December 22, 2032. Here's a smart summary of the estimated risk, how we'll get better info, and what we could do if the danger starts to look significant. 🧪🔭 www.supercluster.com/editorial/an...

Ach, wirklich ……. ??? 😗

A cute litte Tree (Kleinia neriifolia) growing on pyroclastic rock, Anaga Mountains, Tenerife.

Comprehensive article about the history of the mining industry in SA up to now. Well worth reading.

After various cases of vandalism & bad sampling practice at the 4.1-4.3-billion-year-old Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt near Hudson Bay, members of the local community of Inukjuak decided to no longer allow sampling in the area & limiting access www.science.org/content/arti...

🧪 Our 2022 discovery of Earth's deepest & 1st known, fresh, #hadal, #submarine #volcanic 🌋 #eruption deposit: a glassy, bubble-rich lava flow at 6100m water depth. Another 1st from our 31-Jan-25 EOS Alvin upgrade article, & a personal favorite dive for me 😃. Funding from #NSF-funded #USONR #NOAA ⚒️🌊

🧪 Unusual black smokers at deepest known active hydrothermal vents (Beebe/Piccard, ~5km depth on Mid Cayman Rise) spew extremely Cu-rich fluid. We visited in person on 1st DSV Alvin expedition after major deep diving upgrade. More pics in new article (below). #Geology 🌊 #WHOI #URIGSO #NSF #ONR #NOAA

Seismicity continues in the Aegean. The largest earthquake in the sequence (M5.2) occurred just after 3 PM local time today. Many people have evacuated the nearby island of Santorini. Here is an updated plot of the seismicity so far. Read more: earthquakeinsights.substack.com/p/earthquake...

I really want a good (and easy-to-implement) paleo-salinity proxy, but it's been rather elusive through the years. You'd think elemental ratios would hold the key, but it still looks like you'd be getting only ballpark from them. 🧪⚒️ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Beautiful animal, although dangerous.

The plastic covers of many banana and papaya plantations on #Tenerife have rotted and are in shambles, they are now producing ample #MicroPlastics. Bon appétit.
