Iceland

Iceland is a Nordic island country between the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic Ocean, located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between Europe and North America. It is culturally and politically linked with Europe and is the region's westernmost and most sparsely populated country. Its capital and largest city is Reykjavík, which is home to about 36% of the country's roughly 390,000 residents. The official language of the country is Icelandic. Iceland is on a rift between tectonic plates, and its geologic activity includes geysers and frequent volcanic eruptions. The interior consists of a volcanic plateau with sand and lava fields, mountains and glaciers, and many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite being at a latitude just south of the Arctic Circle. Its latitude and marine influence keep summers chilly, and most of its islands have a polar climate. .. more

this dc situation looks pretty horrible. i wish i had more to say except that autocracy is always mundane and petty and vicious and encourages you to look away and be safe. and you can live quite normally under it until you're a direct target

Right now in D.C., federal forces are clearing homeless encampments. No live TV coverage. No helicopters. No transparency. Cameras are silent, the state controls the story. This is authoritarian rule, happening this moment.

He has either given Alaska to Russia without remembering or his dementia has him living in the timeline when Alaska was part of Russia. Both scenarios equally embarrassing for everyone seeing this emperor stark naked every time he opens his fowl smelling mouth.

If I Must Starve
A poem by Nour Abdel Latif
July 22, 2025 - Gaza

If I must starve,
let it be with dignity in my children’s eyes,
not with my hands tied by silence.

Let the world witness
that I did not bow to the hunger
but stood, even as the sky emptied
and the earth closed her mouth.

Absolute stupidity. Damage beyond measure.
Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.
Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose
The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

🧵 Dear Republican lawmakers,

Canada has the largest intact boreal forest on the planet.

An increasingly hotter world due to #ClimateChange makes longer dry seasons, far larger wildfires & yes, more smoke. No amount of "raking" fixes it. The scientists warned of exactly this for a very long time /1
