Won’t somebody save these hundreds of turtles condemned to death? | First Dog on the Moon There is a whole dam full of water right there but the turtles can’t have it

Globe showing the Atlantic Ocean with arrows depicting the AMOC circulation: warm surface currents (pink/red) flowing northward from the tropics toward the Arctic, and cold deep return currents (blue/purple) flowing southward. The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast.

In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.

Most people have no idea. 🧵

Exposing a global ‘online rape academy’ that is teaching men how to abuse women and evade detection CNN exposes an online network of men encouraging each other to drug and assault their partners, and swap tips on how to get away with it.

Not all men. Just a lot of them, indeed enough to make women feel unsafe!

The RBA’s policy deliberately creates unemployment. So why do we treat the jobless so badly? The way we deal with rising inflation is highly problematic.

the policy was set in stone when the gig economy was the cash economy, when official figures did not remotely resemble actual economic-exchange-care activity. Now everything is transactionalised.

The RBA’s policy deliberately creates unemployment. So why do we treat the jobless so badly? The way we deal with rising inflation is highly problematic.

“if we are going to maintain a system that deliberately creates unemployment, the least we should do for those who bear the cost is income support that’s above the poverty line and services that genuinely help. The current system is both ineffective and unnecessarily cruel.”

Without a third party in the mix and no popular & charismatic independent movement out competing the two neoliberal/ neoconservative parties, that is unlikely to ever happen in the US. The progressiveness of US social democrats come close in their ideals.

The most interesting takeaway from the Hungarian election was seeing progressive, socialist parties choose not to dilute the anti-Orbán vote. Standing down their candidates, they urged their voting base to support Magyar’s center-right, conservative Tisza party, prioritising the ousting of Orbán.

The bloodsoaked lexicon of Russian imperialism Seven phrases that encapsulate Moscow's violent obsession with conquest

“Russia isn’t a nation; it’s a prison of nations, bound not by shared values but by force and fear. At home, its people internalize subjugation, apathetic to politics, resigned to the humiliation their government inflicts day after day.“

This is a frightening map, especially given the fact that this is normally near the peak in snowpack across the West. There are many far-reaching consequences from this historic snow drought, ranging from increasing risk of summer wildfires to major water concerns.

Better US Presidents have been cheaply removed from office before. The only reason #47 remains in office is because the majority of US capital interests need him there & the rest of your population are either MAGA stupid or feel politically powerless. To get JDV from the 25th will be no help either.

Islamabad prepares to host historic negotiations between Iran and the US In Pakistan’s capital, the army has been deployed, a public holiday has been declared and the streets are eerily empty

On a scale of 1 to 10; what’s the chance of incumbent election fraud to see Orbán hang on to power?

Two days before Hungary’s election, Trump pledges to buy votes for Viktor Orban with US taxpayer dollars.

Status is absolutely the skeleton key to understanding MAGA.

And this is why there should be a Chief Sociologist of the US, not just a Chief Economic Advisor: economists don't have the analytic tools to study status (tho they won't admit it); sociologists invented the study of status, it's our jam.

"So what can we have?" 🥲

Israeli politicians wore golden NOOSE pins to support the passing of the death penalty bill in the Knesset, making it Israeli Govt policy to hang any Palestinian convicted of killing an Israeli. The law does NOT apply to Israelis convicted of killing Palestinians.

Penny Wong is "deeply concerned." 🙄 #Israel #racism #auspol

Albo ensured his address to the nation didn't raise expectations that he would do anything too.......leadershippy. #auspol

Layers upon layers of disappointment. Expected so much more than to watch her strength give way like this. This will be Wong’s legacy. What an indictment after such a brilliant career. #AusPol
