In deep lakes, a blend of physics from wind, air temperature, water temperature and salinity helps to circulate water between different depths. As the planet warms, these systems are slowing down and even stopping altogether.
Mixing Is the Heartbeat of Deep Lakes. At Crater Lake, It’s Slowing Down. | Quanta Magazine
The physics of mixing water layers — an interplay of wind, climate and more — makes lakes work. When it stops, impacts can ripple across an ecosystem.

The universe we live in is clearly complex, but theoretical aspects of its geometry imply that a similar universe with similar traits could be essentially empty. Recent work offers a partial solution to this paradox.
Cosmic Paradox Reveals the Awful Consequence of an Observer-Free Universe | Quanta Magazine
Encouraged by successes in understanding black holes, theoretical physicists are applying what they’ve learned to whole universes. What they’re finding has them questioning fundamental assumptions…

Contractors and bounty hunters, smoking gun for masked "ICE" agents? I need y'alls help to dig into this further. I think G4S is a great place to start digging. ICE has already been sued for using these contractors in ways illegal under federal law and time and again G4S shows they ignore hiring

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

🐄 #DYK that not all animal products have the same carbon footprint - even in similar systems?

Emissions depend on:
✔️ Farming methods
✔️ Supply chains
✔️ Animal size
✔️ Local conditions

Better practices = lower emissions!

We fight to give hope — a reminder that there are still those within the government standing up for what’s right. Since Saturday, we’ve faced relentless attacks. We know there will be consequences for our actions, but we will not back down.

China, Russia and India have dispatched emergency teams and supplies to earthquake-ravaged Myanmar. So have Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. The U.S., the richest country in the world and once its most generous provider of foreign aid, has sent nothing.

Nelson Mandela was asked how he became such a great leader. He shared two key reasons:

1. When I traveled with my father to meet tribal people, he always sat with them in a circle.

2. He listened more than he spoke.
