“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

Alabama under Kay Ivey has been ratcheting up executions at a terrifying rate over the last five years or so. Just horrifying.
"The death penalty is supposed to be reserved for the worst offenders, but the judge sentenced Mr. Boyd to death even though the State’s own evidence showed he was not even the worst of the four co-defendants."

In a first, renewables generate more power than coal globally
In a first, renewables generate more power than coal globally
Solar and wind power aren’t just keeping up with global electricity demand anymore – they’re pulling ahead. According to a new analysis from energy think tank Ember, solar and wind combined outpaced global electricity demand growth in the first half of 2025. That shift led to a drop in both coal and gas generation compared to the same period last year. For the first time ever, renewables generated more power than coal globally.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I love a donkey as much as the next person (actually, a great deal more, I dreamed as a child of going on a great journey with a donkey as my trusted comrade) but I still don't understand why people in the UK seem really obsessed with donkeys and why they always appear to be in need of saving?

ICYMI: New online! The value of political ecology in biodiversity conservation
The value of political ecology in biodiversity conservation
Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 08 September 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00085-2Political ecology aims to understand how politics and power influence both social and ecological dynamics. Conservation biologists and political ecologists tackle many of the same pressing environmental problems, but from quite different perspectives. In this Viewpoint, five political ecologists discuss their views on how the field can understand and tackle the biodiversity crisis.

This summer, Israeli bulldozers rolled through the West Bank city of Hebron with ruthless efficiency, targeting Palestine’s only surviving national seed bank. What happened in Hebron fits the legal definition of ecocide — the deliberate destruction of ecosystems to undermine human survival.
Israel’s Attacks on Seed Banks Destroy Millenia of Palestinian Cultural Heritage
When Israel targets Palestinian seed banks, it’s not just destroying buildings. It’s attacking the future itself.
