Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

Incredible win for democracy coming out of Utah this morning (ET). The new map will finally reflect what the people want after the polls and asked for back in 2018.
Really amazing work by everyone that never gave up and kept fighting so hard to make this happen!

So many symbiotic relationships in the ocean. Very smart of the anemone to extent the crab's home since hermit crabs outgrow their shells. I once saw a whole line up of hermit crabs waiting to switch shells, truly fascinating cooperative behaviour www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1dn...!

Nature out here writing allegories—mutual aid, waste-to-wealth, portable architecture. The crab gets a fortress, the anemone gets a chauffeur. Balance, not hierarchy. #OceanWisdom #Symbiosis

SEATTLE: If you know someone who lives in Seattle and guess they probably voted for Katie Wilson for Mayor, your contribution to this fight is to text them this information about making sure they voted with their signature on the envelope! TEXT them NOW.
There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

NY doesn’t have caucuses we have closed primaries. But same deal. That’s why @nywfp.bsky.social wants us to stay registered as Democrats: so we can win the primaries like Zohran & AOC did.
Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

"The Wolf That Guides the Hunter's Hand" by Blackbraid (2023, USA)
ISC: 👍
Great black metal tends to have interlocking layers of melody that contrast with the intensity. They add slightly more indigenous instrumentation each album it's time for them to make their Hammerheart imo

i was walking somewhere in my neighborhood last night and some college aged men started yelling Baba Booey at me over and over again and not knowing what else to do in response I yelled "howard stern's penis" at them and they looked confused. They know the words but not their meaning.

Hochul “bends the knee” to Trump in her dirty deal to approve the Williams fracked gas pipeline.

Hochul is raising our utility bills, polluting our air and water, and cooking the climate.

I waited a day to say this bc I respected everyone's right to vent some anger, but *remember to focus on what you can do*. Whether it's defending your community, taking action around what you've been venting about, whatever — but don't let all of your energy get captured in the social media space.

Men embracing reading is the absolute worst thing to happen to manosphere influencers and hate groups. They don't know how to pivot to take advantage of that. It's not like Andrew Tate is going to be able to lead a YouTube discussion on Watchmen.

This is the point you're missing. Pushing back against this deal, arguing some Senators should have been stronger *is* fighting Trump. Unity is empty if it doesn't come from shared goals. Some of your colleagues were on TV snarking about people don't understand how the Senate works. That's not unity

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.
