Making America Stagnate Again
Deportations don’t create jobs and will increase deaths of native-born Americans. Who knew?

I highly recommend this conversation with Barack Obama, in part because he's so calm and his ideas are so practical and reasonable.
However, you might consider listening to it on an app that enables you to listen to it at 1.5 or 2x speed - Barack speaks almost painfully slowly and deliberately.😄

1/5 Mammal Monday: Meet the Stone Marten (𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘢 )
Ever heard mysterious footsteps in the attic at night? In many parts of Europe, the culprit might be the stone marten — one of the most adaptable small carnivores.

Antarctica isn’t one big tipping point.
New research maps 18 separate ice basins, each with its own threshold. Some in West Antarctica may tip at just ~1–2C warming (i.e close to today’s levels).
Cross the line, and you commit to m’s of sea-level rise over centuries

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
