Imagine what it means for alluvium miners along the banks of tributaries to the Amazon

Tracey Ryniec @traceyryniec.bsky.social · 3d

Gold is surging over $3900 to open the week. Will it get to $4000 this week? Anything over $3500 means record free cash flow for the miners who execute. I have a $4k price target but only by the end of 2025. #GDX

Just have to take a beat to say that the people that have long warned about state violence and the militarization of law enforcement were right.

These terrorists kill not merely to end lives, but to disrupt and end a way of life.With every atrocity, they hope that America grows fearful, retreating from the world and forsaking our friends. They stand against us, because we stand in their way

A complete flip of the usual pattern we see in these updates - China's and India's emissions fell, and EU and US emissions increased.....

ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

@ember-energy.org

Global CO2 emissions plateau
Global CO2 emissions from the power sector fell marginally by 12 MtCO2 (-0.2%) to 6,963 MtCO2 in the first half of 2025. The decline was possible because solar and wind power exceeded demand growth and led to a slight fall in fossil fuel use. Without solar and wind growth, emissions would have risen by an estimated 236 MtCO2 (+3.9%) globally, which is equivalent to almost all emissions (251 MtCO2) from Africa in H1-2025.

At the country level, there was significant variation. Among the four economies that account for the majority of global emissions (64%), emissions fell in China (-46 MtCO2, -1.7%) and India (-24 MtCO2, -3.6%), as clean electricity outpaced growth in demand in those countries.

In contrast, emissions rose in the EU (+13 MtCO2, +4.8%), where strong growth in solar was outweighed by shortfalls in wind, hydro and bioenergy, leading to higher gas and coal generation. Emissions also rose in the US (+33 MtCO2, +4.3%), as clean electricity growth was smaller than demand growth, leading to an increase in coal generation, which was exacerbated by gas-to-coal switching.

For your professional goals, make a habit of just steadily putting points on the board, consistently doing a little bit steadily, even if you’re bad at it sometimes. You’ll be amazed at how quickly successes start to compound. Don’t let your job get in the way of your career.

I'm deeply sorry if this gives you hope but the last time we saw Trump was September 30

The height of the previous "lmao is he dead?" instance was pretty much exactly one month before that on August 29

ICE held this man. In June he was in good shape. Now he's been deported by air ambulance. He's starving, unable to eat, walk or speak. It's unclear what happened, as ICE hasn't told the family.

Screenshot of newspaper article that says

The judge said that a substantial sentence was required “to send a message to abusers and victims alike that exploitation and violence against women is met with real accountability.”

With the "4 years" underlined

The New York Times doesn't tell you why the alleged murderer said he sent pizzas to the victim's house just before he ran down the girl and her best friend. He said on video that he was getting revenge for social media comments about death of Charlie Kirk.
