Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

This year has been brutal for the #climate movement.
Rollbacks, repression, & outright denial, especially in the US, have made progress feel fragile & uneven.
Which is exactly why it matters to pause & look back at what did move forward in 2025.

Happy Burning of Norfolk Day!
250 Years ago at 3PM four ships of the British fleet opened fire on Norfolk. Mounting more than 100 guns, they cannonaded the town well into the evening. Landing parties went ashore and set fire to various building.

REM's 1998 album UP. Four great singles: "Daysleeper", "Lotus", "Suspicion" and especially "At My Most Beautiful." More experimentation as this was their first album without drummer Bill Berry.
I was living in LA at the time, and UP was one of several albums on heavy rotation as I sat in traffic. ✨

Extinction rarely departs with drama, it slips out the back door while we’re still debating the guest list. These records are made official on the Red List. "Conservation failures are often recognised only once they can no longer be reversed."

And detainees are held for much long periods of time than needed so that these companies can charge more and make billions extra. It’s state sanctioned human trafficking.

I pulled a decent shot of The Christmas Tree Cluster (upper) and the Cone Nebula (lower) in the constellation Monoceros last night
The two objects are collectively known as NGC 2264, they exist ~2,300 ly away

BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.
