A study confirms what we have long argued: the spectacular Atlantic 'cold blob' is the result of a slowing of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC, which transports warm waters into that region. That's the only part of Earth that resisted #globalwarming. 🌊

I joined Bluesky exactly two years ago today. Never thought I'd be able to build back the audience I had on the other site, but in fact have recently surpassed that number here & am grateful for this new community. By way of thanks, here are two of Tade Styka's weird & wonderful dog portraits

Recent cleaning of Artemisia Gentileschi's “Allegory of Painting” (Royal Collections, London) shows she was the first artist to specialize in portrayals of dogs playing poker, likely for Charles I, an avid player. The fact that a woman invented this important genre has been overlooked for centuries

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

In 1626, a Cambridge fishwife sliced open a cod, only to find a gelatinous, half-dissolved manuscript inside. It was published the next year under the name "Vox Piscis or, the Bookfish." At this point, why not get your news from inside a dead fish? #earlymodern #bookfish archive.org/details/bim_...

Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.
