May I remind everybody that while we hang on Trump&Vance latest provocation, green house gazes continue to accumulate and biodoversity to recess. Trumpism is organized diversion from the threat put on life on Earth by unbound capitalist extractivism - with extra masculinism and nationalism.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know:
Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.
