Oh how lovely to seen Amelia. Fun fact, when I was 6 we had a runt of the litter piglet named Amelia. She was Arnold's sister IYKYK. We kept her in our old playpen but she escaped. Eventually she went to a farm close by and we'd visit her on Sunday after Church. She had a good life!

It really is time for corporations to start cleaning up their space junk! Polluters in space are just as culpable as polluters on earth. My SIL who works on space weather (radiation like solar flares for the gov't) says 1000s of spaceX satellites fall out of orbit very day!!! I was shocked

After World War 1, railways cut through farmland and small towns. American Landscape (1920) frames the incisions of modernity. Tracks slice through fields as wandering cattle are forced to adapt to industrial infrastructure.

Historian of wine & climate here maybe they are planting Syrah because it is getting too hot for Cabernet to shine. This is happening in Bordeaux. Also wine consumer's tastes have changed so rather then regional expression it is consumer demand.

In addition to being important for scientists & conservationists (which is what this position paper π is about), natural history museum collections are critical for public understanding of biodiversity & why we should conserve it. My book Ghosts Behind Glass explores such collections on display.
