A small Journey plane that departed Phoenix, AZ yesterday with stops in Puerto Rico and Senegal (likely for fuel) has just landed in Accra, Ghana. This is potentially the 5th flight this year in which non-Ghanaians are transferred to the country.

Today I snorkelled in a little bay in Curacao - three different bays in three days.

All the coral is dead. Mass die-off since 3 years.

Devastating
A zebra seabream swims through the waters of El Hierro, a volcanic wonder in the Canary Islands 🇮🇨 🇪🇸 where around 90% of the island lies beneath the sea. 🐠🌊

For years, Oceana has campaigned for the protection of El Hierro’s rich, well-preserved ecosystems.

Jeff Bezos paid $50 million for a wedding. He just got a $16 billion tax break. He just laid off 60,000 people.

And you're furious about a kid getting a free school lunch?

As long as people are willingly paying for the thing called “cruises”, I have no hope for humanity.

At night, it was loud and bright in Berdiansk as well.

Once again, we should thank all the Russians who stand by their windows filming the work of their own air defense. Well done. Keep it up, don’t stop.

Never forget that the only country in NATO history which triggered NATO article 5 is USA after a bunch of Arab terrorists took down some buildings in New York.

Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude.

EU need to step up.

Russian-style "liberation." Footage shows strikes by Russian terrorists using FAB-3000 and FAB-1500 bombs on residential apartment buildings in Myrnohrad, Donetsk region. The city is simply being wiped out — they no longer even distinguish between targets.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

There are 8 billion people on this planet.

Today I was on a boat off Curacao. Next to me a Brazilian - he’s a biologist. I share that I was in Brazil once, that I’m Dutch. He tells me he was in Surinam (formerly Dutch) once, for work.
