Plastic hasn’t just polluted the land and oceans. Research has found microplastics in cloud water, which are influencing how clouds form by acting as seeds for ice crystals, thereby accelerating the formation of storms and increasing their strength. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #MicroplasticMonday

Scripted by Earl "The Waltons" Hamner. Stars Edward Andrews.

He's being chased by a 1956 Ford Fairlane Club Sedan!

Data brokers are the invisible engines of the data surveillance economy. It's hard to escape. Until.

California just opened a website to delete (and keep deleting) your information from 500+ data brokers in one fell swoop.

Try it if you're in California and LMK how it goes! privacy.ca.gov/drop/
Delete request and opt-out platform (DROP)
Protect your personal information. Data brokers collect, share, and sell your personal information. You can stop that from happening.

So the site currently isn’t working, but if you’re a California resident this is probably worth bookmarking to check out once it’s back up
If you are a resident of California, the state now has a portal where you can demand deletion of your personal data from 500+ registered data brokers with a single request form, for free.

💙 grateful to the Tribes
After successfully fighting to un-dam the Klamath River, a land trust formed by 4 Northern California tribes just completed the purchase of a huge swath of land in the basin. They plan to focus on habitat recovery, cultural resource protection, & fire management lostcoastoutpost.com/2025/dec/29/...

Good morning from Seven Hills, NSW, Australia, where on Friday, January 2 at 7.30 am, it is a cloudy 19°C. Sister-in-law going home today, wife going out for lunch with friends. Guess I'll just potter around in the yard. Have a great day, take care and keep smiling. 😀

On 13 February 1990, from a distance of 6.4 billion km, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft turned around and photographed our homeworld.

About halfway up on the right side is a tiny speck of light, about one pixel across.

Excellent photos by Sebastian Hagan of the Monks' "Walk For Peace" yesterday as they passed through Atlanta suburbs.

The 2,300-mile pilgrimage spans 120 days, beginning in Texas and ending in DC.

Look how proud their pup, Aloka, is! Aloka was rescued from India & is already winning hearts. 🥰
