Perhaps we could nationalise Aughinish Alimina, protect supply to Europe, shut off war supply, and protect Limerick jobs.

Dublin Mountains gorse #wildfire update Over 20 firefighters have been working at two fires. Strong winds have caused whirling vortices as you can see in the video. Wind has been driving smoke over Dublin and we are advising residents to close all windows and doors. We know it's warm!

Pretty big thunderstorm moving up from Cork through Limerick and Tipp, hoping it will skirt Kilkenny but also that it clears the air. www.lightningmaps.org #SpeirGorm

Another glorious morning and a warm day ahead but there is a risk of some nasty thunderstorms developing in the South early this evening with a risk of large hail. These could cause some local flash flooding.

People are suffering, temperatures are increasing, biodiversity is declining. Some people say we sound alarmist. Well, we are alarmed. But we are not paralysed by it. We are demanding action. Time for EU governments to stop their petty arguments and take real climate action.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

There’s a substance called dihydrogen oxide. It’s everywhere and every single person who’s ingested it dies. It’s outrageous how no one talks about this.

The graphic on the last column is messed up, the numbers dont add up to the total and the segments are smaller than previous year despite being larger numbers

Reporting what doesn’t work in #CDR matters too - here we explain why soil CO₂ flux measurements do not work for enhanced weathering #EW. Key issue: biological (organic carbon) fluxes dwarf the EW signal, and shared drivers (pH, moisture) obscure attribution. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

I'm not going to provide details, so don't ask. Nevertheless: No, it is not OK to have one hallucinated cite. No, you can't delete that and expect me to take the rest of your work seriously. No, absolutely not. It should never ever happen.

Today is the 2 year anniversary of when I met the Ravens. They just checked me out from a distance then! Here is some of my fav footage: them courting, feeding each other, barrel rolling and some of their vocalisations. They are the most amazing birds and I am so lucky to have them!

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Sitka Spruce is promoted in school? A problematic non-native tree grown in large plantations that have created ecological impoverishment at scale nationwide in one of the least forested countries in the EU27? Sitka Spruce is now 44.6% of Ireland's total forest Source assets.gov.ie/static/docum...

“It would be absurd to argue that having more psychiatric appointments 2+ years after *referral to a psychiatrist* was an indicator of issues with mental health.”

🔥 I took a couple of days to compile this long analysis. The elections in Hungary tomorrow are seismic, globally. So I cover: - The rise of Orbán - Orbán’s weakening - The emergence of Péter Magyar - The election battle - The JD Vance visit - What it all means for Hungary, the EU, Putin & Trump

When I first moved to this neighborhood, two of the American Crows here had a very nasal quality to their calls and made a bunch of croaks I most associate with young birds. Now they all sound like that, just unusual enough that Merlin doesn't try to identify them any bird at all. #birds

If you ever bought a book, maybe with an attractive cover, good paper, lots of words, telling a story, maybe some nice illustrations. You know what? Amazon can’t come and take it off you. It’s yours. Books go back over a thousand years. They’re designed for your hands. They can’t take yours back

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

Beautiful day to fill the 100,000th pothole of the year.

The color changing is amazing but what always gets me is they make their body’s texture look like rocks and coral. Fascinating. IG: ibrahim.elhariry
