How about some optimism for the weekend? @nvogtvincent.co.uk has a new paper, and I think the title makes the point: Global Coral Reef Collapse is not Inevitable. 🧪🌊 Link: https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0169534726001060​

hey if you're a scientist and you use this data in your research and you want to tell me how dumb this is, contact info is in my bio (i will also listen to scientists who think this is a great idea, if such a person exists)

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

You may have noticed I disappeared from social media after my launch of @beyondxandy.bsky.social I was violently attacked by a transphobe who recognized me and have been in the hospital and resting If you'd like to help me with my medical bills, please consider donating here: gofund.me/9328f91f2

Jacquelyn's walk through is excellent if you're trying to understand what is going on with this proposed OMB rule change. This is how authoritarianism sinks in its hooks. Moves like this.

College application essays written with AI had less diverse ideas and perspectives. "In a separate study, the team found that human-written essays offered up to eight times more new ideas than those produced by A.I." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/o...

Please send @jasmineclarkforga.bsky.social to Congress. We desperately need more scientists in the halls of power. To oppose the current crop of anti-science grifters. #ScienceSky 🧪

Watch Duty also covers more than fires - for example, residents of Orange County can currently use it to get verified evacuation info on this unfolding chemical incident: www.ocregister.com/2026/05/21/h...

Watch Duty now has nationwide coverage, incidentally. A membership is pretty cheap, lets you see firefighting aircraft, and supports one of the very best public safety orgs and its app that the US has.

They dropped Nature’s engineers to solve the London Hnderground flooding problem and they fixed it. Beavers 🦫 are amazing. Just plop them in the ecosystem and watch them repair it.

So, friends: I promised I'd tell the story. Now I shall. Let a (former) psych nurse tell you the true (gods help us) story of a night in a big-time NYC emergency room: and the arrival of The Man With The Bloomingdales Bag. (1/n)

“Not only did ASU allegedly not communicate to its academic community that their lectures would be spliced up and cannibalized by an AI platform, but the resulting modules are just bad.”

Some people continue to advocate for regenerative grazing as a big climate solution. But it's not. The better answer is to cut back on beef consumption, curb food waste, and rethink the food system. drawdown.org/insights/gre...

“Between January 2025 and February 2026, STEM and health employees at science-focused agencies saw nearly 15,000 jobs cut. The rate outpaced cuts among other federal workers.” OPM data - Figure from Wash Post article 19 April. (Where US science has been hit hardest.) NSF at -42%!

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater. This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning. Never doubt your power to change the system.

A president can’t just “declare” that the federal government will determine the ways in which states operate their elections. Enough is enough.

Caterpillars and ants communicate by dancing. The ants tap out a rhythm that the caterpillar matches. There are caterpillars that ants like to take care of: they protect these caterpillars & their babies & the caterpillars in turn secrete sugary fluid the ants eat. buff.ly/iVtLf8j #ShareGoodNewsToo

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

Always resist: “When finally you surrender to us, it must be of your own free will. We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us: so long as he resists us we never destroy him. We convert him, we capture his inner mind, we reshape him.” (Orwell, 1984)

270 people joined me, and we had a great talk about how to engage our neighbours, friends, and elected officials in climate action using the head-heart-hands model! (which I explain here: www.astronomy.com/science/solv...) I will share the recording when it's available.

This is one of the most important issues with the global food system, yet it is often ignored. Put simply, we don't actually grow much *food* in our farms around the world. Instead, we grow grossly inefficient animal feed and biofuels. drawdown.org/news/only-ha...
