Just submitted a review of the Princeton Field Guide to Mesozoic Plants. Short version: a book heavy on plant reconstructions is a great idea (and potential #paleoart reference), but it's let down by formatting issues and problematic plant recons. Thanks to @palaeojules.bsky.social for discussion.
After more than 1,000 days beneath the rubble, the remains of over 100 victims have finally been recovered and laid to rest.

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

June 2026: second-warmest June on record globally. Hottest June ever for western Europe. Hottest June ocean ever measured. If your memory says "it was like this in the 80s," your brain isn't remembering. It's lying to your face, and you're tipping it.

NEW – Factcheck: How nuclear, gas, wind and solar power are affected during heatwaves | @mollylempriere.carbonbrief.org w/ comment from @iain-staffell.bsky.social @henrypreston.bsky.social Read here: buff.ly/yfvQnUS
Unusually hot & dry conditions worldwide have fueled a deadly wildfire season, costing lives and destroying communities. “If these infernos don’t bring policymakers to their senses and force necessary changes to grapple with the fossil fueled climate crisis, what will?” writes UCS's Rachel Cleetus:
A World Ablaze: The Climate Future We Feared is Here - Union of Concerned Scientists
Unusually hot, dry conditions across many parts of the world—including in Algeria, Canada, France, Greece, Morocco, Spain, Tunisia, and the western United States—have set the stage for the catastrophic wildfire season underway now. Just over this weekend, rapidly spreading wildfires have exploded around Spokane, Washington, forcing nearly 65,000 people to evacuate thus far. Unrelenting hot dry weather, supercharged by climate change, is contributing to the dangerous conditions causing these fires.

For practical purposes solar, wind and hydro generate no waste heat. Battery storage does make some, but a small fraction of what thermal power stations do.
