we are subject to a plague of TRASHY people who absolutely REVEL in wallowing like fatted hogs in their gilded-gold trash-heaps, and by God, I am sick and tired of it
this tawdry Olivia Nuzzi stuff highlights why I’m turning into a small-c conservative with regards to “it is unseemly and shameful for people in positions of power and influence to subject the public to their messy-ass sex nonsense on a constant basis”

Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for.
We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

“Ale" works in the carrot harvest in CA. She earns $3.05 for every box of carrots she packs. One box has 24 bunches of 7 carrots each. To earn $100 she has to pack 34 boxes or 816 bunches which represents over 5000 carrots picked in a day. #WeFeedYou

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

It is a matter of supreme irony to me that the furthest right-wing of the furthest right-wing people are fascist, misogynist, racist and the Queen who rules over them is Candace Owens. I don't think this irony will ever get old for me. She is such a fascinating phenomenon!

I knew the choice of an American to be Pope was going to be consequential in so many ways. I admire the way this Pope is applying his soft power. This country has needed a Christian reckoning for a long time now. MAGA Christianity is only going to get more isolated going forward.
The U.S. bishops defended migrant families. Tom Homan snapped. Nan Hayworth called Pope Leo a “tool of our enemies.” Tim Burchett accused the church of getting rich off of sex trafficking.
Matt Walsh, Lara Logan, and the rest joined in. This is what MAGA anti-Catholicism looks like.

“Pope Leo Is a Tool of Our Enemies”: Homan Leads MAGA Attacks as Hayworth, Others Pile On
It’s the latest MAGA attack on Pope Leo’s pro-immigrant stance. Disgraced border chief Tom Homan — caught taking a $50,000 bribe in a Cava takeout bag — led the charge against Leo and the bishops.

The government is taking the fact that China already has them beat on nearly every front, very badly. How many times can a country self-sabotage?
“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

Water aid requires global groundwater safety | Science
Water aid requires global groundwater safety | Science
Global water-aid projects have greatly expanded access to drinking water in underserved regions. The recent $40 million TeamWater campaign built hundreds of wells in more than 20 countries, including Bangladesh, Colombia, and Nigeria (1, 2). These gains are impressive, but wells may be drawing from shallow aquifers that are easily polluted by farm runoff, leaking septic tanks, industrial waste, and seawater intrusion. Today, at least 1.7 billion people use drinking-water sources contaminated with feces, which may include groundwater sources (3). Without safeguards, wells that are intended to improve health could instead deliver harm.
