This is what bravery in the face of adversity looks like. This is what competence and patience looks like. NATO would be very fortunate to have Ukraine join the alliance.

❗️This is the first war in the Russians’ lives where Ukrainians are fighting not on their side, but against them. They’re fuc*ed, – Magyar. Additional points: ▪️We’re not hitting the Crimean Bridge yet so that those who want to can leave.

Something here for US politicians to read, well those US politicians that can read.

Temperatures during fire season in Canada (May-Sept) have risen a bit more than 2 °C (3.6 °F) in the last 50 years. Climate warming doesn't start fires, but persistent hot and dry conditions can increase flammable fuel load, making any fires that do occur more severe. 1/

Outstanding US Government lawmaking. I admire the ability of Us voters to consistently elect morons with zero comprehension of the likely 2nd and 3rd effects of their policies. Near identical countervailing legislation against US carbon emissions coming soon!

The text of Senator Moreno's bill is out now. Not my area of expertise, and we'll see how much takeup it gets, but this is the kind of thing alliance die on.

And here we have Lisa McClain stating that Canada needs to be forced to stop smoke from forest fires impacting the state of Michigan. Presumably Canada should install a fan to blow the smoke away from Michigan? Just so USA level stupid. mcclain.house.gov/about #USA

A Norway fan has gone viral for not taking part in their Row celebration after matches and won't do it if they win the World Cup "It’s factually wrong; they didn’t row, they sailed over the Atlantic”

Japanese scientists have confirmed a monumental discovery: asteroid Ryugu contains all 5 nucleobases essential for DNA and RNA. By analyzing 5.4 grams of material returned by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft, researchers identified adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil in similar proportions.

The United States remains an aggressive imperialist. Make no mistake: the US will make war on its erstwhile allies. Any rational political leader who can must develop or acquire nuclear weapons. #USA #MAGA

Global CO2 emissions have plateaued since 2013, leading to a slower growth in atmospheric CO2 than would have otherwise been the case. In a new analysis at The Climate Brink, I've taken look at what would have happened if emissions had continued to grow: www.theclimatebrink....

I genuinely feel sick. A company reached out to me on IG, linking me to an AI version of myself. You can even ask "me" questions. They are also advertising it using an AI photo of me. They told me if I like it, they will give me free access... to my own fucking content that they stole. /1
