Something will surely survive our current extinction event. Will it ever return to the beautiful equipoise we have enjoyed (and squandered)? There seem to be two known local attractors for the climate: ice age and temperate. We could tip it into a third, unknown state which may be terminally stable.

Nice to see some republicans _actively_ resisting. I wish the DNC leadership would show more spine. No point in saving one’s political capital for a dead democracy. Or a dead planet.

Saw an interesting art work today suggesting that language does not have the capacity to adequately describe black American experience—let alone profound truths.
I don’t typically like painted text, but this piece was, ironically, profound.

Kleptoplasty? Amazing!
This is the "SEA SHEEP" (Costasiella kuroshimae) & it took the old axiom: "you are what you eat" VERY literally.
It eats algae & rather than just digest them, it harvests the chloroplasts & becomes PHOTOSYNTHETIC. Solar slug!
Also, some of its cousins can rip their own heads off.

Kids are just kicking ass these days. Love it.
At Beaverton City Hall, a young woman calls out Officer Lamb for falsifying reports and ignoring a terrifying ICE incident. Her question to police is pure courage and democracy in action: if you’re not willing to do your jobs, are you willing to let us do them for you?

With 4 days of data to go, November, 2025, will likely end up as the third warmest November on record and third warmest November in the last 120,000+ years.
November will also mark the second consecutive month breaking 1.5°C over the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline.
Stay tuned!

About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.
New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.
But Trump has halted those efforts.

Yesterday I took a city bus from Aachen across an international boundary, then got on another city bus to a nature park on a mountain for FIVE FREAKING EUROS.
At home, in Boston, it takes 7 dollars to ride a train a few miles within city limits.

Paper lids for paper cups in Aachen. Sure would like to see these in the US. Reusable would be better, of course, but still a huge improvement.

Hanging out in a very cool, queer friendly thrift store in Aachen, hoping to find a particular recording of Das Lied Von der Erde, but found this oddity of German pop music delectation instead.
