“Please don’t pass the bill that I just voted for” is an entirely new dimension of cowardice.

Here’s a useful visual that illustrates the potential of (and highlights the challenges facing) forest restoration for climate mitigation.
The diagram illustrates the hierarchy of Natural Climate Solutions (NCS), focusing on three key approaches: Protect (orange), Manage (green), and Restore (blue). Each approach is represented by overlapping circles, sized to indicate global maximum mitigation potential in gigatonnes of CO₂ equivalent per year (GtCO₂e/yr) by 2030. Icons within the circles represent various factors: time horizon, cost-effectiveness, biodiversity value, land use change, and flux density. Protect has a mitigation potential of 3.9 GtCO₂e/yr, Manage 6.8 GtCO₂e/yr, and Restore 11.8 GtCO₂e/yr. Protect prioritizes immediate ecosystem preservation, with faster time horizons and higher biodiversity value. Manage focuses on improving practices with moderate benefits across criteria. Restore emphasizes long-term solutions requiring land use change and delivering the highest flux density. A legend below explains the icons and their qualitative scales. The diagram highlights the complementary roles of the approaches in optimizing climate mitigation outcomes.

IS THIS REAL!?

Did Michigan really flip Bryce Underwood!?
Bryce Underwood, the number one college football prospect for 2025, holding a football in a throwing stance, wearing an orange practice jersey with the word ‘Belleville’ partially visible. The image includes a graphic overlay with the University of Michigan logo, the text ‘Breaking News from Adam Schefter,’ and the word ‘COMMITTED’ in large bold letters at the bottom against a black and yellow design background.

A black-and-white image showing Godzilla towering over a destroyed building in a city, with smoke rising in the background. Above the image, a humorous caption reads: “BREAKING: Donald Trump nominates Godzilla for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.” The caption is attributed to “Middle Age Riot” (@middleageriot).

I’m no fan of Ben Domenech. But when it comes to dunking on Matt Gaetz, game recognize game.

thetransom.com/p/matt-gaetz...
Screenshot of an excerpt from a Ben Domenech piece that reads as follows: I realize that we are occasionally given to hyperbole about the untoward nature of politicians, but let me be clear: Matt Gaetz is a sex trafficking drug addicted piece of shit. He is abhorrent. His eyes are permanently rimmed with the red rings of chemical boosters. In person, he smells like overexposed Axe Body Spray and stale Astroglide. The fact that he boasted on the floor to multiple colleagues in the House of Representatives of his methods of crushing Viagra and high test Red Bull to maintain his erection through his orgiastic evenings is perhaps the least offensive of his many crimes against womanhood and Christian faith. The man has less principles than your average fentanyl addicted hobo. He likes them underage and he’s not ashamed about it. Matt Gaetz isn’t just your average extreme Florida MAGA Man, he’s a hypocritical ass with the worst Botox money can buy, pursuing an ever-thinner nose and higher cheekbones at every opportunity like a Real Housewife gone mad for fillers. Every Republican in Washington has an opinion about Matt Gaetz, and 99 percent of those opinions are “Keep Matt Gaetz away from my wife/daughter/friend and anyone I care about

Ultimately, the US will be less healthy and put less trust in science if people like RFK Jr are put in positions of leadership. Capitalism’s toxic effects on real human wellness will get worse. People will die of treatable illness while RFK Jr trolls X talking about chemtrails (see pic).

RFK Jr responding positively to a tweet about the chemtrail conspiracy theory.

I think I might have their long-lost sisters…
Two cats cuddling together. One is grey with green eyes; the other is a white and grey tabby.

This is a hilarious exercise. To be clear, I have two undersized rescue cats, not tigers.
An imagine depicting a man balancing a life filled with professional and personal pursuits. In the foreground, he sits in a modern office, focusing on screens displaying climate and environmental strategy, with charts and documents referencing carbon markets, ESG, and sustainability. Surrounding him are various scenes: he’s shown cycling on a mountain trail, swimming in open water, and running, representing his triathlon training. The background features Alaska’s rugged landscape with mountains and forests, symbolizing his connection to the state. A guitar and two lounging tigers convey moments of relaxation and creativity.

Posting my two adopted gremlins to the cat feed as an excuse to practice alt text. 🐈‍⬛ 🐈
Two cats cuddling closely together. The cat on the left is a dark grey with hints of orange and green eyes, looking directly at the camera. The cat on the right is white with grey tabby patches and green eyes, also looking at the camera, with one arm wrapped around the other cat in a gentle hug.
