'Shrinking Trump', a podcast by two psychologists, is also "shrinking" Elon. I recommend it to everyone everywhere. Fortify yourself against abusers and evil usurpers!

The latest episode: Will the courts be Democracy’s last stand?

We are hurtling toward climate chaos.

The consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are here now.

This unfolding emergency stems from failed foresight, political inaction, unsustainable economic systems, and misinformation.

Do you remember the stars? Never forget the stars. Here are some of my favourite stars, as seen this morning. Being able to still see them from the middle of the city felt deeply satisfying.

Jane Goodall: “You must vote for the person, the candidate who you feel has a better chance of promoting protection for our planet.”

For over 60 years, Jane Goodall was a force for research about our precious planet—and climate change action to protect it—while breaking glass ceilings along the way.

I'll so miss her courage and commitment to help expand what we know about our world and preserve it for the generations to come.

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

Jane Goodall was a global legend at the forefront of discovery — breaking through barriers for women in primatology, science, and beyond.

Her curiosity, strength, and kindness changed the world, bridging countries and cultures in pursuit of a better future.

Jane Goodall was a huge figure for everyone & also us at @mongabay.com 😔

An advisory board member & friend for years, she traveled 300 days/year right to the end, promoting conservation worldwide

Let's break this down. I'm a merchant Captain for former USAF officer. The US Navy destroyed a civilian vessel in international waters without attempting to seize/board the vessel and without being engaged in combat. This is "manifestly unlawful". The US Navy has a DUTY to refuse illegal orders.
