This is a new low even for the current administration. They are actively working to destroy their children's futures (and ours). Let's hope it will be quickly reversed and the proponents duly punished. 🤞 www.eenews.net/articles/hou...

Your 'moment of doom' for May 29, 2026 ~ Near death experience. "By exposing shallow coastal waters to intense sunlight, the melting ice has accelerated a process that destroys nitrate, the foundational fertiliser required for marine life to survive." oceanographicmagazine.com/news/arctic-...

"Such intense concentration was not inevitable. It’s a product of decades of failure to enforce anti-merger laws that have been on the books since 1890." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/o...

This is a key part of our crisis. We need to act now before the situation gets much worse.

I think about this a lot.

Scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany warned that if deforestation, which decreased in 2025, increases again, the Amazon could suffer “widespread rainforest dieback” and cross a tipping point in the 2030s. By @alecluhn.com for @NewScientist.com

BREAKING: 🚨🇮🇱🇮🇷 Archaeologists in the Holy Land just uncovered a 3,000-year-old Israelite tablet… It reads: “Iran is 12 days away from developing a nuclear weapon.”

‘Nuclear imaginaries’ is such a great insight. It goes all the way back to those fifties sci fi promos for free electricity and flying cars. The space travel imaginary is also a thing. Both appeal to insecure men of a certain age: big sexy project, make me look powerful.

The myth of “AI” is that you can use it to offload lower function mental activity in order to free up higher function. But this assumes that that higher function of thought can operate without the lower to support it, which is in pretty much direct contradiction of all philosophy of mind.

In Florida, Gov. Desantis signs a bill that would prohibit Florida cities from tracking their greenhouse gas emissions. Yes, you heard that right. Never mind doing anything about them: they're not allowed to *track them*.

This is one of the most important stories of the week that you probably missed. The trump admin is basically taking something that belongs to all of us & giving it to political hacks & corporate donors. It’s an outrage & we should push back hard.

This is a really good (and important) article. Worth a read.

Hard to know which is more shocking - the dire warnings of the potential collapse of our food system in the UK or the fact that governments have tried to cover it up. Their complacency is off the scale. We urgently need to switch to growing more food domestically & to restore nature now
