This Trump Bible Event Should Alarm Everyone YouTube video by SWAJ with Brad Onishi and Dan Miller

Trump reading the Bible is absurd. The passage he is reading is utterly terrifying.

Is this from the Faroes I assume?

I’m really excited for this SF! With it we’re trying to combat the positive bias in publishing - how we and reviewers are inclined to only lift up research that goes as expected. But we all know there are so many lessons to be learned when you get unexpected results, or when things don’t work. 🧪

Publication seems a REALLY long way off, but do reach out if you'd like to schedule a book signing, talk, reading, podcast interview, exhibition, or any combination of the above to help get A New Unfeathered Bird off to a flying start next year.
'A celebration of all birds, across all time'.

this is also why I just try to fix things and maintain them, even if it’s kinda annoying. buying stuff and tryna find the ones that don’t suck is way more annoying.

Weekly Roundup: Patriarchal Nationalism is a Helluva Drug

In light of Orban’s defeat and the inspiration he provided for Trump, Vance, and the CPAC/NatCon crowd, a thread of episodes we did on Hungary and illiberalism #maddow

An artistic photo of plastic from one Sable Shearwater chick laid out in a series of concentric circles on a black velvet background. Each circle has larger plastic with forks and tetra-pak lids in and full bottlecaps in the outermost layer.

Sable Shearwaters aren't an outlier—they're a preview. Chick maximum plastic loads rose from ~200 pieces in 2011 to ~900 in 2025. And the plastics treaty has stalled.

Glad to see Europe ís Hungary for change. Please steal this headline

Tonight I'm thinking of the many Hungarians I've met over the years - many of them abroad against their wishes, many of them queer - who haven't stopped fighting, for sixteen years. For most of us, Orbán was an on-and-off nuisance on TV - at best. For them, he was a constant nightmare.

Here is the amount that has been grifted or extorted from US taxpayers from the last 10 Presidents:
Ford: $0
Carter: $0
Reagan: $0
H .W. Bush: $0
Clinton: $0
G.W. Bush: $0
Obama: $0
Biden: $0
Trump: $2 billion and counting! (#45/#47) not counting what he extorts from corporations & countries.

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

and all that is gone
and all that’s to come
and everything under the sun is in tune

I strongly disagree. There would be no Arctic communities, and almost no island communities without killing of animals, and the further north the more central animal proteins and fats become

100%. Our posts just crossed paths. See my further comment just now. These people are not the ones living unsustainably; we are. Even viewed solipsistically, they are the canary in the mine.

Although at the premiere in Torshavn I did raise the point to Mike, that as a rich and developed society, we in the Faroes are not only victims but also participants in this environmental tragedy of the commons

And consumed by humans. It's fundamentally an injustice made against the islander way of life that man made pollutants have made certain wild animals unsuitable for human consumption. Some conservationists celebrate this fact, but I find it deeply hypocritical and tragic.

Yes, it's by far the best and fairest representation of the Faroese attitudes and ambivalence with regards to hunting pilot whales and knowing that the meat and blubber is highly polluted. Watch this space because I will make a similar point in relation to some seabird eggs which are being collected

Hi! It’s 2026!

There is major hypocrisy - or lack of intellectual rigor - for a society, sustained by the growth economy that is causing the Sixth Great Extinction, to focus on curtailing a traditional sustainable harvest. The emotional nature of this appeal to stop the harvest is shockingly deceitful.

That's what sets Kunming Montreal apart and fills me with some cautious optimism, that local and indigenous communities are recognised as the best caretakers or stewards of their nature. That includes food resources (even though many of us ecologists find it difficult to accept)

It can't be an either/or. I has gotten us nowhere if you remember the Rio convention and Aichi targets etc. they all had a massive blind spot for which was the legitimate human concerns.

In human-nature relations. We are having these discussions in the Faroes in relation to seabird hunting and seabird egg harvesting

I think this is the important difference with Kunming-Montreal that local and indigenous communities are the best caretakers of their nature, or at least that we as well-intentioned ecologists and conservationists should think extra carefully about when we break up sometimes centuries of tradition

My reflections on this are based on the fact that international conventions on protection of nature (Rio) and others have all put the focus on science and ecology and it seems obvious now that they didn't work. One of the reasons is because they tend to ignore the (legitimate) human concerns

Yes ofcourse, but I think what I am trying to say is how do we avoid majority domination of urbanized humans upon smaller communities, because this would lead to even more alienation between society and nature, and lead to even more nature illiteracy
