This is an extremely difficult video to watch. It shows many ICE agents ontop of a man who while on the ground is shot 10 times. This follows him being pistol whipped (or hit with some object) in the head while subdued. www.reddit.com/r/Minneapoli...

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature.com did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers. Take a look—the numbers are staggering.

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

For years, experts have warned that nature loss would become a security threat. Now a national security assessment confirms it: biodiversity collapse risks food shortages, economic instability and global disorder. Nature underpins our global safety. So why is UK Government failing to protect it?

Listen to this speech from Mark Carney. Forget making Canada the 51st state; I’m ready for the US to be the 11th province.

Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped from Minneapolis. He was my neighbor and he died in an American concentration camp. He was not "illegal," he was a human being made in the image of the divine. May his memory be a blessing, and may the rest of us fight like hell until we stop this brutality.

"But when I landed in Minneapolis and saw the size, scope and lawlessness of the federal onslaught unfolding here, I understood that Good’s killing was emblematic of its true mission: to stage a spectacle of cruelty upon a city that stands in stark defiance of Trump’s dark vision of America."

2020s: AI "System Prompts" are lengthy, carefully constructed sets of expert rules about a particular domain, created by "prompt engineers". 1980s: AI "Expert Systems" were lengthy, carefully constructed sets of expert rules about a particular domain, created by "knowledge engineers".

Something every EU government could be doing *today* is to demand that all Defense Cooperation Agreements with the US be renegotiated. It makes no sense to give Trump free access to European military bases, harbors, and airports when he is currently threatening European safety.

Cool summary on the role of grasslands as carbon sinks. In short, grasslands with grazers on it can potentiate soil organic carbon storage. It challenge the assumption of reforesting everywhere: doi.org/10.1126/scie...

You can’t "lone wolf" your way to 93%.

In the end, as Hannah Arendt pointed out, the only thing that saves us from a particular atrocity is that some people can’t bring themselves to do it. That’s all we are relying on

*This* is leadership. And @davidobura.bsky.social is so obviously right: turning your back on facts doesn't make them go away

The old view of skilled emigration as a 'brain drain' has collapsed after a generation of research. Skilled migrants cause innovation, technology transfer, and human capital investment in the countries they leave. The best summary is @mushfiq-econ.bsky.social et al.—> doi.org/10.1126/scie...

It's fascinating how quickly every effort to "disrupt" the university sector collapses. Maybe the university – one of the oldest spontaneous orders anywhere, an institution much older than the corporation and the nation-state – has something going for it that outsiders don't appreciate?

2013 was the first time in 30 years the Maine shrimp season was canceled. It never reopened (if you had Maine shrimp in the intervening years, it was from the small "test catch" done to see if they could reopen. This year's catch was < 7 pounds). This is just so sad. We did this.

I've put together my predictions for 2026 and 2027 temperatures over at The Climate Brink. I expect 2026 will likely end up similar to 2023 and 2025 at ~1.4C, while 2027 will likely be considerably warmer (conditional on El Nino): www.theclimatebrink....

What an astonishingly dishonest piece of propaganda for the fossil fuel industry, including its citing of Obama's extremely outdated energy policies and its misrepresentation of Norwegian public opinion.

I am just learning of this 2015 retraction, adding to my "science as amateur software engineering" files. Seems they classified missing values as obs outcome of interest (divorce). Classified 32% of sample divorced, rather than true 5%. retractionwatch.com/2015/07/21/t...

In this article, just out, I argue that scientists have a crucial role in the science-policy interface: keep making questions, especially those whose answers decision-makers don't know they want to know, or know they do not want to know. Here's the link: journals.plos.org/sustainabili...

La comunidad científica en la interface ciencia-política tiene un papel crucial: hacer preguntas. Sobre todo aquellas cuya respuesta los decisores no saben que necesitan, o saben que no quieren saber.

An interesting result is that the rate of species description has accelerated, with the largest numbers of new species per year in the past ~20 years. We're currently experiencing an age of discovery for Earth's biodiversity & the role of natural history museum collections couldn't be more important
