Algae are prolific producers of oxygen (and consumers of carbon dioxide), en masse producing a huge proportion of the oxygen we breathe, which means that the greening of the Reflecting Pool might be the most pro-climate thing Trump has ever done.

We, as a nation, are collectively missing a great opportunity to get RFK Jr to drink from the reflecting pool.

🤬

Like a dung beetle’s ball rolling down a hill, the reflecting pool keeps picking up more layers. Incompetence, antiscience, corrupt contracting, and now now the self-protective police state and sabotage conspiracy theories.

In the USA it’s Father’s Day; for all the dads, granddads and grandparents, single moms who are both parents, aunts and uncles who take care of kids 🩷

I’m seeking a new role and would appreciate your support. If you hear of any opportunities, please let me know. I’m looking for roles as a Historian, Lecturer, Museum Curator, Heritage Officer, or Policy Researcher. I’m open to roles in Australia. #opentowork

The bees’ right to exist, reproduce and flourish. #Amazon The stingless bees pollinate roughly 80% of tropical flora. They face climate change, deforestation, pesticides and competition from invasive European honeybees. #ResistanceEarth #SaveTheBees 🐝 news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

The Battle over the Constitution Has Spread to American Science. I'm out in the @theatlantic.com today about the new OMB proposed rule. It's just the longtime agenda of the the Supreme Court. US science and cancer cures now all depend on us picking up a fight with the Roberts Court.

I have one cat who loves ping pong balls and another who loves tennis balls… They’ll chase them in the floor or on the bed 🤷‍♀️

Good, need the voices of actual medical professionals over uneducated influencers.

This is amazing news, and I hope the brain worm healthcare lunatic won’t squash this advancement in medicine. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

Finally, footage from that new whale graveyard. The fact that fossils and fresh carcasses mix together in this spot is bonkers. But of course it makes sense, because the scavengers that live down there also need a steady supply over millions of years. They can't just suddenly adapt to the deep.

Referee denied entry. Officials denied entry. Players denied entry. Fans denied entry. The U.S. is proving exactly why it never should’ve been chosen to host the World Cup.

"The president is not well. He has tremendous difficulty staying awake on the job. He has repeatedly fallen asleep at Cabinet meetings, at White House events, at a Memorial Day ceremony, and most recently at a very loud NBA game last night."

NO COUNTRY that hosts an international sports event should be allowed to deny entry to its competitors. It’s CHEATING by immigration chicanery. ONLY FIFA or IOC should have the authority to deny participation to an athlete, staff or official. Any country that refuses that should not get to host

Local communities are starting to vote against data centers. The more they know, the less they support them. This is an issue that can motivate rural voters. They want to protect their land, electricity, and water.

“As the annual Pride parade weaved its way through Durham… the rainbow flags were almost matched in number by trade union banners, as miners, postal workers, and train drivers swelled the parade’s ranks in solidarity, making it the biggest in Durham Pride’s history.” Solidarity is our strength. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Happy World Ocean Day! The ocean is the heart of our life support system, without which we’d all be dead. It’s taken up >90% of the heat from global warming and 30% of our CO₂ emissions. In return, we give it 11 million tonnes of plastic annually, which animals ingest and also become entangled in.

AURORA: A coronal mass ejection is expected to arrive and cause G2-G3 geomagnetic storming close to midnight in Australian timezones. This may cause auroras to be visible in southern parts of Australia on the night of 8-Jun into 9-Jun, such as in Tas, Vic, and southern parts of SA, WA and NSW.
