The dead sperm whale had washed ashore on 9 November, attracting “curious onlookers until about the third day, when it began to decay and emit a rancid odor”. Enter stage left, George Thornton, highway engineer with the Oregon Department of Transportation
Exploding-whale engineer George Thornton has died at age 84
It all started on Nov. 9, 1970, when the 45-foot whale (initially thought to be a gray whale, but later identified as a sperm whale) washed ashore a mile south of Siuslaw River near Florence.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Criticism of the 'dud #AUKUS deal' comes from all sides of politics. Former PMs, Keating ("worst deal ever") and Turnbull ("one-sided mugging") slam it.
It is and always was Morrison's master plan to wedge Labor. It was never conceived to be a defence strategy.

fossil methane gas,
that methane is more than 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in heating the planet,
toxic nature of forever chemicals used in fracking…
