https://t.co/S9IzWULO1D is the nonprofit successor to https://t.co/L7AI5j7Ec6, delivering climate data and information to promote public climate literacy and to equip people to turn knowledge into meaningful conversations and climate-conscious actions. At a moment when critical climate information was being deleted or distorted, we stepped up to rescue key climate resources—including the U.S. Global Change Research Program's now-deleted Fifth National Climate Assessment—and to ensure the public has continued easy access to the facts.

A nazi becoming the first trillionaire off taxpayer subsidies mergers and apartheid mine inheritance isn't an anomaly. It's showing you what the system rewards.
Capitalism is a death cult
What's most infuriating about the Musk trillionaire shit is that his enterprise is built almost exclusively on gov contracts. It's not just that he's expropriating our wealth in an abstract way -- his fortune is built on the tax dollars we pay, that he then obtains through graft.
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke and they kept it a secret. FDR couldn't walk and they kept it a secret. Eisenhower had heart attacks and they kept it a secret. Reagan had colon cancer and dementia and they kept it a secret. Trump's health is much worse than whatever they let us see.
A billionaire bought a logging company in the Amazon rainforest just to shut it down.
Swedish-British billionaire Johan Eliasch has taken a bold, hands-on approach to fighting climate change, shifting from business leadership to direct environmental action.
In 2005, he acquired a logging company in Brazil, gaining control of approximately 400,000 acres (1,600 km²) of Amazon rainforest, which he immediately dedicated to preservation by halting all logging operations. This decisive move transformed a potential deforestation site into a protected carbon sink, safeguarding biodiversity on a vast scale.
Eliasch's efforts extend far beyond this landmark purchase. He founded the Rainforest Trust, which has helped protect millions of acres worldwide, and co-founded Cool Earth in 2006—a charity that empowers indigenous communities to conserve endangered rainforests.
His influence reaches policy and sports: he advised the UK government on deforestation (authoring the influential Eliasch Review in 2008), and as president of the International Ski Federation (FIS) since 2021, he has driven sustainability initiatives, including committing to the Race to Zero campaign to halve winter sports emissions by 2030.
Eliasch exemplifies a rising movement among ultra-wealthy individuals who deploy private resources for immediate, impactful climate solutions—bypassing conventional channels to deliver tangible protection for the planet's vital ecosystems.
Orcas have brain structures you don't have.
Neurobiologist Lori Marino's MRI work on killer whales identified a fourth cortical segment called the paralimbic lobe. It sits next to the limbic system and handles emotion and social awareness. It doesn't exist in humans or in any land mammal. In orcas, it's so elaborated it erupts into the cortex.
Their cortical limbic lobe, the region handling self-awareness and social processing, is exceptionally developed. Their brain weighs roughly 12 pounds, four times the mass of yours. They have spindle cells, the same neurons that let humans reason about other minds.
When an orca surfaces and locks eyes with you, it's running a social assessment with neural hardware specialized for exactly that. It knows you're a separate being. It knows you're watching it back. It's evaluating you.
Here's what should recontextualize the clip. In all of recorded history, wild orcas have killed zero humans. Zero documented fatalities. One surfer was bitten off California in 1972, and the orca released him the moment it realized he wasn't a sea lion. A 12-year-old was bumped in Alaska in 2005. The orca approached, touched him, turned back.
Orcas hunt great white sharks. They coordinate wave attacks that sweep seals off ice floes. They take down moose swimming between islands. They have every capability to kill you. They have never chosen to.
Marino's explanation: the orca neocortex is developed enough to instantly distinguish a human from prey. Other researchers point to orca culture, the traditions passed through pods across generations, in which humans simply aren't food.
That look is recognition and restraint. From a mind built for social cognition at a scale your brain can't reach.

Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
this was the most important Oscar speech of the night tbh
"Mr. Nobody Against Putin is about how you lose your country. What we saw when working with this footage is that you lose it through countless small, little acts of complicity: when we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets of our major cities, when we don't say anything when oligarchs take over the media and control how we can produce it and consume it, we all face a moral choice. But luckily even a nobody is more powerful than you think."
🚨 BREAKING:
Iran’s IRGC says any Arab or European country that expels Israeli and U.S. ambassadors from will be granted full freedom of passage through the Strait of Hormuz starting tomorrow, according to Iranian state media.
🚨BREAKING: Trump implicitly threatens to target Iran’s civilian infrastructure to make it ‘VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE’ for Iran to be built back as a nation, if Iran attacks ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The US’ war to ‘liberate the Iranian people’ reveals itself to be the war to annihilate the Iranian people.
I don't know why, but @jaketapper has never corrected his now demonstrably false reporting on 10/7 sexual violence. Instead, he's out here sharing a ludicrous post that calls Drop Site "terror propaganda" and a "fake news site denying that there were any rapes on 10/7."
First of all, we don't say there were definitively zero. We say there is no credible evidence of any. Not a single independent investigation has turned up a single instance. If one eventually does, we will of course report it.
Tapper himself led the charge on some of the worst reporting in a generation, reporting that was used to launch a genocide before falling apart under scrutiny. Tapper, for instance, gave prominent voice to a first responder who claimed to have seen evidence of two SAs in Kibbutz Be'eri. Those high-profile allegations, as we've reported, have since been conclusively shown to have been false and even the Israeli government and the NYT have retracted them, but Tapper has never corrected his piece or even addressed it. It's fundamental to journalism that if we make a mistake, we correct the record transparently. He refuses to do so. And once Bari Weiss is his boss, if the Gulf countries don't back out of the deal, he won't ever have to.
He also relied heavily in his influential 2023 report on Shari Mendes, a volunteer at a morgue who infamously fabricated a horrifying crime, saying, "A baby was cut out of a pregnant woman and beheaded and then the mother was beheaded.” There is no dispute: that did not happen. She also made all manner of lurid claims to Tapper and others that were shown to be false later. He has never addressed this.
The case he's citing here below has no corroboration and on the face of it stretches credulity. Tapper is sharing a post from a witness who claims several militants pulled a woman out of a car and "the terrorists sounded like they were drinking a cocktail at the beach. When they finished, they fired an RPG at her car and burned her."
So according to Tapper here, the victim was put back in a car and after that, they fired an RPG at the car and burned it. Think about that. It's utterly preposterous. They fired an RPG at a woman in a car from point-blank range? Wouldn't that also blow them up too? And they did all this with IDF helicopters bearing down on them? It's an impossibly absurd scenario, but to Tapper it's conclusive proof. Tapper finds that not just credible, but credible enough to call another news outlet "fake news" and "terror propaganda."
It's one thing for Jake never to correct his now-debunked reporting. It's another entirely to call us "terror propaganda" merely for honestly reporting on these claims.
I assume he's just salty that The Free Press scooped him on the story of the century, Mamdani's wife's instagram likes. But not too late to host a segment on her!
Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war.
Why are you the only person saying this?
Trump: Because I just don’t know enough about it.
⚠️ Warning: Disturbing Footage
Iran says at least 1,255 civilians have been killed in U.S.–Israeli strikes since Feb. 28, including 200 children and 11 medical workers, with victims ranging from 8 months to 88 years old.
🔹 Health Ministry adviser Ali Jafarian told Al Jazeera that more than 12,000 people have been injured, mostly from burns and crush trauma.
🔹Jafarian said 29 medical centers have been hit, 10 forced to close, along with 52 clinics, 18 emergency service sites, and 15 ambulances damaged or destroyed.
🔹Strikes have hit over 200 cities across Iran. Attacks on oil facilities in Tehran have sent toxic smoke over the capital, raising fears of respiratory illness and possible acid rain, he added.
