Is there a “methane bomb” lying in Arctic permafrost? New research suggests the answer is complicated—warming Arctic soils might help or hurt the climate, depending on other factors like hydrology. eos.org/articles/in-...

Hydrology Paper of the Day @gbrunohydro.bsky.social on how evapotranspiration is linked to streamflow for smaller catchments in Germany: summer low flows and multi-year droughts; identification of trends and catchment similarities; P–Q relationships; and identifying changes in context of uncertainty

The Moonie River winds through southern Queensland, merging with other rivers to eventually become the Baaka (Darling) River. Water stops flowing for almost 200 days every year. The isolated waterholes remain muddy, whereas once they were clear. #murraydarling #river #dryland #outback #waterhole

This gorgeous being is thwaitesia argentiopunctata. Also known as the sequinned spider, mirror spider and is found in Australia. Absolutely beautiful! I am at a loss for words. #nature #arachnid #insect #mirrorspider #Australia

What if the NWSL had a Best Under 22 player award? Here's my take on it with a Top 15 list at Spotrac I tried my best to be as objective as possible but ranking players is a rather subjective topic: www.spotrac.com/news/_/id/29...

The public deserves to know the extent of Epstein’s abuse and to hold accountable anybody—regardless of political affiliation—who enabled it. Add your name to the petition to demand the Department of Justice and White House publicly release the files. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ep... I signed

Cw filicide I think some reporters really need to learn about the Disabled Day of Mourning. Some parents of autistic kids despise them so much they kill them. This is how deadly ableism (and lack of social supports) can be. Our articles do not need to feed into ableism.

Hi @tayvincent6.bsky.social. Any word on injures to Dufour or Obaze? Can’t see any news on them? Thank you.

I think musk’s head just exploded. The $ does not flow in that direction, mate.

We're doing an 18th birthday special show at Leicester Square Theatre on 26th October. Tickets are on sale now, AND there's a live stream for the handful of people on this planet who can't get to London by then: www.thebuglepodcast.com/live

With Rice University, a new project called the SCI-SWIM will help our Community Earth System Model trace where water comes from by focusing on stable water isotopes that give clues to the origins of water, from ice sheets to the ocean and everything in between. news.ucar.edu/133039/new-m...

Quite possibly the most disturbing photo I've ever taken of the Moon 😱 Captured last night at a whopping 99.4%, presumably it's pre-eclipse nerves... #BloodMoon #CornMoon #LunarEclipse #LunarEclipse2025 @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social @metoffice.gov.uk

This is a good read.

Mentors matter—especially in challenging times. The latest #EGU special issue Women in #Hydrology shines a light on women who’ve broken ground in hydrological sciences, & the mentees following their path. Essential reads on equity, inclusion, & resilience. Check 👇 blogs.egu.eu/divisions/hs...

Hübner's Wasp Moth (Amata huebneri) is Google’s best guess. Wikipedia says they don’t come down this far 🤷🏻‍♂️. #nature #wildlife #moth #sunshinecoast

Have you registered for the free webinar on birthright citizenship yet? It’s time to learn what’s at stake. We cannot protect it if we don’t understand it. howard.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

I once toured Atlanta’s 175-year-old Oakland Cemetery with a friend. Were struck by how many families lost multiple children within days of each other. We realized it was due to the lack of vaccines. And this kooky, lying moron wants to take us back to those days. RFK Jr. should resign.

“They're migrants themselves and they're carrying a foreign flag—the Union Jack—so it's all very weird," Krautungalung elder Robbie Thorpe. If you marched on Sunday in solidarity, this is what you stand for: racism, hate and colonization (and more). Very weird, indeed. #marchforaustralia #losers

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

A few people had questions of some of the states on my map such as NY/CA/IL moving up in risk for trans youth. If a state has moved up in risk, it's because of clinic closures at major clinics. I cannot in good faith keep a state low risk if state laws are not being enforced to keep clinics open.

You have to organize. I don't know what else to tell people. And organizing is not sexy and it is difficult and it matters that you be persistent. We need long-distance runners right now.

Whoa!

No surprise: a country founded by unrepentant slavers who genocided indigenous; Nagasaki and Hiroshima; Vietnam; banana republics and brutal puppet regimes. No acknowledgement. No amends. At the risk of peril, violence and imperialism prevail: colonise Chicago.

This Sunday thousands of people will take part in a nationwide march for Palestine, including in Meanjin/Brisbane, where I will proudly join them. While the march across the Story Bridge has been denied by the courts, the event will still begin at 1pm in Raymond Park as planned.

So…people in Gaza are not starving…but Hamas is stealing the aid. Two (contradictory) lies do not make a truth. These guys really don’t give a fuck, do they? Chilling.

Boss. I'm tired boss. We been doing these experiments and studies since the 60s and 70s and the outcome has been the same in them all. The pushback against these measures aren't because they don't work. It's because they DO work and they'll include peoples they wish to exclude from society.

I'm old enough to remember him - but the details are Hazy.. Thought it was about Drugs & overthrowing some South American Leader..

Mamdani’s win is awesome. Will Dems make authentic social, economic, political policy change. I’m sure the Dems will kick an own goal tryna convert a penalty. #zohranmamdani #nymayor

I could die now and be happy after watching this.
