Moonrise over Lake Balaton on World Lake Day. (TBH I think these "World <insert some random thing here> Days are kinda dumb, but whatever).

At least so far, biggest accomplishment of the Lake Balaton project is (possibly?) being able to pronounce the city Székesfehérvár.

Indeed.

"Ecology needs to develop, not swarms of mutually antagonistic theories..., but a new kind of comparative ecology that would bring them all into perspective. For unfortunately, Nature cannot be understood by pretending that it is simple." - Charles Elton, Animal Ecology (preface, 1965 ed.)

Miller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli

This is like Jeffrey Epstein lecturing us on feminism.

Like the Strait of Hormuz, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has exposed the limits of American power.

“The most durable solution…is still to remove the nutrient source and, ideally, remove algal biomass from the water. If you only kill algae in place, some of that biomass can break down and release nutrients back into the water, which means the bloom can return later.” phys.org/news/2026-06...

Nanobubbles for algae cleanup: Q&A with researcher Wen Zhang

One of the most powerful environmental cleaning technologies in recent years is too small to see with the naked eye. Nanobubbles—tiny gaseous bubbles with diameters of around 100 nanometers—can clean ...

“The people’s algae.” A microscopic view of the algal bloom in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. A healthy community of green algae: Scenedesmus (Desmodesmus) spp. Some I identify as the species opoliensis, bijuga and quadricauda. There are more species present for sure.

So the ‘theory’ has some validity, but there are problems (see my comments within the thread), starting with the bloom not being caused by cyanos, and the usual and incorrect ‘dismissal’ of the importance of nitrogen.

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

Don’t let anyone fool you about fossil fuels and nuclear. The market is deciding in real time.

Dr Paul Dorfman @drpauldorfman.bsky.social · 6mo ago

In 2025, more power was generated worldwide from renewable energy than from coal, and 91% of new renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels. Each year nuclear adds only as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days.

I don't need to be paid or recognized to accept a review. I need journals to better match manuscripts to my expertise (most are not even close) and give me a reasonable amount of time. How about ask me (1) are you interested, and (2) if so, how much time do you need to complete a thorough review?

David Green, PhD@ecologistgreen.bsky.social · 8mo ago

#PeerReview is indeed breaking down, but I believe we should build it back up instead of scrapping it entirely. It's how we ensure trust in science. What would make you more likely to review your colleagues' new research? 🧪 #SciPub #AcademicSky

Multi-layered “look what you made me do” lie. Because Norway didn’t give a him prize (it doesn’t decide winners) for ending wars (he didn’t end) the US won’t be peaceful anymore (bombing multiple countries) and will take Greenland (part of Denmark, not Norway) to stop Russia (it’d help Russia).
