At some point every Holocaust museum will be forced to include an exhibit on what’s happening in Gaza right now. It’s only a matter of time. Dr. Nick Maynard of Oxford University medical school has been a witness to the genocide.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

This isn’t a post-apocalyptic movie scene.

This is what Israel is doing to South Lebanon.

Burning homes, shops, businesses and civilian infrastructure.

Not military targets.

Just deliberate destruction. Pure terror.

This is an American-backed, American-funded genocide.

🟥 🌤🌡Scientists have detected a vast underwater structure spanning approximately 9,000 miles across the equatorial Pacific that is fueling one of the strongest El Niño events in recorded history.

🔁 ❤️ Greatly Appreciated

This feature is actually a powerful downwelling Kelvin wave, a massive eastward-moving pulse of unusually warm subsurface water stretching from the western Pacific near Indonesia all the way toward the coasts of South America.

As of late May 2026, the wave carries temperature anomalies, reaching up to 7.5 degrees Celsius above average in key layers, which is extraordinary for the deep ocean and acts like a freight train of stored heat energy.

It was triggered by strong, westerly wind bursts that pushed warm surface waters eastward, deepening the thermocline and allowing this heat to propagate beneath the surface.

The wave is now intensifying with warm anomalies already emerging toward the surface east of the dateline and it serves as a classic precursor that weakens trade winds suppresses cold upwelling off Peru and Ecuador and drives rising sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific.

NOAA's latest outlook gives an 82 percent chance of El Niño developing between May and July 2026 with a 96 percent chance it will persist through the Northern Hemisphere winter and models suggest it could become a strong or even super El Niño comparable to the major events of 1997-98 or 2015-16.

If it peaks at full strength this could lead to drier conditions and higher drought wildfire risks across Southeast Asia Indonesia Australia parts of India and Africa while bringing wetter weather with increased flood risks to the western and eastern Pacific coasts including Peru Ecuador California and the southern United States.

Global temperatures may get an extra boost potentially setting new records, and the event could mean more tropical cyclones in the Pacific along with a quieter Atlantic hurricane season.

This natural cycle builds on broader ocean warming trends, and forecasters are monitoring it closely with monthly updates expected.

I never stop being amazed by them. Launching their “Birdhouse” — a strategic-class missile worth around $100 million, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead — at a garage complex in the Kyiv region.

Let’s calculate how much this night cost them.

One “Oreshnik” — roughly $100 million. Around ninety cruise and ballistic missiles: Kh-101s, Kalibrs, Iskander-Ks — at an average price of about $8 million each — that’s another roughly $720 million. Six hundred Shahed drones at $50,000 each — another $30 million. Plus fuel, launch platforms, maintenance, reconnaissance.

Total: around $850 million for a single night. Nearly a billion dollars.

And what did they get for that billion?

They hit garages in Bila Tserkva. Destroyed the “Kvadrat” shopping mall. Set the roof of a dormitory on fire in Darnytskyi district. Blew apart an entrance section of a five-story apartment building in Shevchenkivskyi district. Hit a market. A supermarket. A construction hypermarket in Obolon. Dropped debris onto the Valeriy Lobanovskyi Dynamo Stadium.

Two sleeping civilians killed. Fifty-six wounded, including children. Is this their strategic result for a billion dollars? This is their “special operation.” This is their “greatness.”

They cannot move forward on the battlefield. Cannot seize a single truly significant settlement. Cannot defeat the army of a country they promised to capture in three days four years ago. And in convulsions, in agony, in powerless rage, they strike residential neighborhoods at night — museums, markets, shops, garages.

Impotent on the battlefield, compensating for their failure with the number of munitions fired at sleeping civilians.

Blind evil and helplessness at the same time.

Monsters. Simply monsters. Rabid, paranoid lunatics with a nuclear button.

I have no other words left for them.

The moment of one of today’s Russian strikes on Kyiv.

I can see that fewer and fewer people are reading news from Ukraine. I understand that on a Sunday morning, people don’t want to read about war. They want to sleep a little longer, drink good coffee, and sit in the sun. I understand that. The algorithms on X limit content about war, destruction, and suffering. You have to make an effort to even see this information.

All of this is understandable on a human level. But unfortunately, if you remove Putin and the war from your information feed, they do not disappear from reality.

Putin is a sadist and a maniac. He is a threat to all of humanity.

There needs to be active resistance. News from Ukraine needs to be shared. People need to keep their focus.

Despite a sleepless night, I’m still here. And I’m grateful to everyone who continues to stand with us.

One day, we’ll drink morning coffee together in a beautiful, peaceful Kyiv.

"Nous basculons dans l'inconnu". OUI ! C'est ça qu'il faut dire au bulletin météo. Il y en a marre de la banalisation du changement climatique avec les marchands de glace et les surfeurs.

Cette épisode climatique est INEDIT dans l'Histoire de la météorologie française. Et si on emploie des termes puissants, ce n'est pas pour faire du "sensationnalisme" et vendre des panneaux solaires : c'est juste factuel. Il y en a marre de devoir vous caresser dans le sens du poil pour ne froisser personne.

OUI, il y a maintenant de très fortes probabilités d'atteindre le seuil "vague de chaleur" en MAI. On devrait vivre l'écart à la norme le plus haut jamais observé. Dans AUCUNE archive. Que ça déchaîne vos passions sur le terme que j'emploie ? Je m'en fou.

Parce que l'humain n'est pas le centre du monde. Ces températures sont dévastatrices pour les écosystèmes :
➡️les oiseaux qui nichent sous les toits (comme le martinet) vont énormément souffrir. Sous certaines toitures exposées au soleil, les températures peuvent dépasser 40 à 50°C, provoquant déshydratation, abandon du nid ou mortalité des oisillons.
➡️les jeunes plantations maraîchères et les potagers récemment mis en terre sont extrêmement vulnérables. Leurs systèmes racinaires encore superficiels ne permettent pas d’aller chercher l’eau en profondeur : en quelques heures, certaines cultures peuvent littéralement brûler sous le rayonnement et l’évapotranspiration intense.
➡️les céréales d’hiver, notamment les orges et les blés précoces actuellement en épiaison ou en remplissage du grain, vont subir des phénomènes d’échaudage massifs. Quelques jours à plus de 35-37°C pendant cette phase critique peuvent fortement dégrader le poids des grains, les rendements et parfois même la qualité technologique. Et cela de la Bretagne jusqu’au Sud-Ouest… en plein mois de mai.
➡️les arbres et les haies, déjà très avancés phénologiquement après un printemps doux, vont augmenter brutalement leur transpiration. Certaines essences pourraient fermer leurs stomates pour survivre, stoppant temporairement leur croissance et accentuant le stress hydrique très précocement dans la saison.
➡️ les sols vont se dessécher à une vitesse spectaculaire. Une végétation encore en croissance maximale, combinée à des journées longues et un soleil très haut, entraîne une évapotranspiration énorme, parfois comparable à celle du cœur de l’été.
➡️ la faune sauvage va devoir arbitrer entre alimentation, reproduction et survie thermique. En pleine période de reproduction pour énormément d’espèces, cette chaleur arrive au pire moment biologique possible.
➡️ les animaux d'élevage vont subir un stress modéré à fort avec deux facteurs aggravants : la durée qui augmente la fatigue corporelle et le caractère soudain et précoce qui n'a pas habitué les corps).

Et il faut bien comprendre un point : ce type d’épisode n’est pas seulement historique par son intensité. Il l’est aussi par sa précocité. Fin mai, les organismes vivants ne sont pas censés affronter durablement des températures dignes d’un cœur d’été caniculaire.

"Tel Aviv is witnessing rare civil disobedience. A group of Israeli refuseniks are burning their draft papers on the main street. The reason for refusal: 'We will not kill children in Palestine and Lebanon.' The penalty: military prison. But they insist on going to prison rather than enlisting."
