Swiss glaciers have lost 3% of their ice volume in 2025! 🔥

...and ONE QUARTER only over the last 10 years! 📈

2025 is the 4th most disastrous loss ever measured (after absolute record years 2022 and 2023)!

JUST CRAZY… 😱

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

These days show why bluesky is great. Having enough from the same news and takes? Just mute names or words for...

24 hours
A week
30 days

For me that does the trick and I can enjoy science and biodiversity content 🐠🌱🧪

if you're a passenger and the driver is using their phone please don't stay quiet to avoid confrontation. family member, long time friend, coworker, doesn't matter, make it awkward. If they persistent ask to get out, find another way there. Not worth risking your life or being party to manslaughter

Zwecks Sonntagslektüre nochmal Repost.

Bemerkenswert finde ich auch die sehr mutige und direkte Auseinandersetzung mit Jessen. Für sowas braucht es Rückgrat. Mehr als man sich außerhalb von Redaktionen vielleicht vorstellen kann.

A Blood Moon is coming on September 7, and over 6.2 billion people will be able to see it! 🌕🧪

This total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into Earth’s darkest shadow, causing it to glow red from sunlight refracted through our atmosphere.
