US war with Iran threatening Ecuador shrimp logistics War in Iran is exerting significant pressure on the global shrimp sector.

Oh, look: more unexpected second- and third-order global-scale consequences for failing to plan appropriately.

"What we are seeing in the market today is not a temporary adjustment; it is a clear signal that geopolitics is once again taking control of the supply chain." – John Alarcon, Davmercorp

Every candidate for every federal office should be asked whether they support government funding going to this company. They should also be asked why a federal contractor needs a “manifesto.”

Apropos of nothing, “They should all be yeeted into the sun” needs to be more mainstream response.

Florida gas hike means higher prices for fish markets and restaurants It's getting costlier to get fish from the dock to your plate. Here's how fuel prices are affecting fish markets, restaurants and commercial fishers.

In #Florida, huge gas hikes tied to our idiotic Iran War mean higher prices for seafood too. Thanks, President Convicted Felon! www.tcpalm.com/story/news/l...

Not that this (mal)Administration cares, but blockades are war actions… without Congressional authorization, to beat a dead horse.

Neither original in the text, nor original in its intent, but a reminder about how we used to think of ourselves as Americans.

If hearing that stings, it’s because we’ve forgotten that existentially important lesson about being US citizens.

It had a really good run and was a fun series — and at least the show was allowed to close loose ends in its last season (unlike, say, Firefly or Starfleet Academy).

The rest of the world has always thought about how things would be without the United States, and our idiot-in-charge is giving them a reason to find out.

Red America won’t like their FAFO moment.

Why this NASA climate scientist wants you to stay angry “I don’t think we rebuild science without getting mad.”

"Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are."

One of my favourite quotes, attributed to St Augustine and embodied by @drkatemarine.bsky.social today.

NSF LTER program “archived”.

LTER=“Long Term Ecological Research”.

This program has been incredibly successful, incredibly frugal for what they accomplish, and…of course…targeted by evil know-nothings.

My heart is breaking.

@uvapress.bsky.social do better. The sad part is that they know how to do so.

As a 3x alum, William&Mary, I ask you to do better.
