The Northern Hemisphere used to radiate more heat to space than it absorbed from the sun, but this changed over the past 20 years.

On this day in 1654 a gunpowder store with 90.000 pounds of powder exploded in the Dutch city of Delft.
Over 500 houses were demolished, thousands were injured and at least 100 people died, although that number was likely much higher.

“[T]he broader aim of all this agitprop is far uglier. Trump has employed a form of state propaganda that may be unrivaled by any presidency in modern memory, and these MAGA influencers are generating material for that vile effort.”

This MAGA propaganda is deeply sinister. Stephen Miller has been lying about Portland/Chicago relentlessly. It's core to his project: He's trying to establish quasi-absolute power for Trump to simply invent pretexts by fiat to justify whatever abuses he launches. 5/

My dear grandmother was a geologist, and it would have given her great joy to hear her grandson digging into rare earth minerals, finding out what they do, and why they matter.

But for everyone else, it's a drag — the trade war equivalent of learning about the latest covid variant.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Mind blowing.

The Luxon Government has confirmed it will rewrite NZ’s once bipartisan climate change law to dilute methane reduction targets and PERMANENTLY exclude dairy from the Emissions Trading Scheme – a move Greenpeace says amounts to full-blown climate denial.
