🇨🇳 China is out here building the future in real-time 🤯
This rooftop misting system in Shanxi creates "artificial rain" that drops outdoor temperatures by 5–8°C in just minutes.
Europeans could sure use this right now.

This emerging "peace deal" (if in fact it's actually real this time) does nothing but restore where we were four months ago.
$50 billion dollars, 13 dead Americans, and soaring gas prices, just to re-open a strait that was already open. The Art of the Deal.
A man calls into Fox News and tells Jeanine Pirro that Trump isn’t making America Great Again he’s Making America Hate Again and he’s tired of it and she should be ashamed of herself because she was once a Judge and knows better than to allow this to keep happening.
Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”
Just last season, Gotham Whale partnered with organizations across New York to launch a free online boating course “EYES ON THE WATER” that does just that: educate about New York’s whales, how to avoid collisions, and report sightings. This online course presents a shining future for coexistence between boaters and the wildlife with whom we share the water. We are thrilled for even more boaters across the state to learn about the incredible wildlife that thrives just off our shores — and what they can do to protect them!
Take the course today: https://t.co/xgcbkVsZgL
In order to protect whales from boat strikes, this act requires state agencies (the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, and Department of Motor Vehicles) to produce and distribute educational materials to educate boaters on how to prevent hitting whales and other marine mammals.
Boat strikes are a leading threat to the survival of whales, and they can also lead to extensive injuries and property damage for boaters. This act will protect whales and boaters alike.
At Gotham Whale, we have long since recognized the importance of whale awareness and education, and the power that everyday people hold in conservation. Gotham Whale has been documenting Humpback Whales in the waters in and around New York City since 2012 with its network of whale-watching contributors and citizen scientists, maintaining a catalog of individuals that currently numbers almost 500 whales. Among them, many of these whales bear the marks of vessel interactions, including propeller scars both fresh and old. Educating boaters about the marine mammals in our waters and how to coexist with them is key to limiting and preventing future boat strikes.
A man who has never seen war and never will, cheering this on from a comfortable perch in Washington.
Every Senator who fails to stop this war should lose their seat, starting with @SenSusanCollins and @SenFettermanPA.
Events in the Middle East and the Gulf region are unfolding extremely rapidly. Unfortunately, Ukraine knows all too well what this is about. Although Ukrainians never threatened Iran, the Iranian regime chose to become Putin’s accomplice and supplied him with “shahed” drones, and not only the drones themselves, but also the technologies to produce them. Iran also provided other weapons to Russia.
Over the course of this full-scale war, Russia has used more than 57,000 shahed-type attack drones against the Ukrainian people, cities, and energy infrastructure. Other nations have also suffered from Iranian-backed terror. Therefore, it is fair to give the Iranian people a chance to rid themselves of a terrorist regime and to guarantee security for all nations that have suffered from terror originating in Iran.
Our position is well known, and Ukraine has stated it repeatedly, including recently. It is important to preserve as many lives as possible. It is important to prevent the war from expanding. It is important that the United States is acting decisively. Whenever there is American resolve, global criminals weaken. This understanding must also come to the Russians.
People cannot know the day or the hour, yet every act of evil, terror, and aggression against neighbors ultimately meets a just response. We expect that, in the end, the Middle East region will become safer and more stable. Much has already changed toward that goal.
Ukraine is ready to help every nation so that security and justice increase, and terrorist regimes decrease.
It appears that Congress has reached a compromise budget for Commerce, Justice, Science, & Related Agencies that passed the House, should be passed by the Senate soon, and maintains funding for the National Marine Fisheries Service at reasonable levels. https://t.co/2v1Kkb0O3C

Hot news: ASMFC Annual mtg- Just incredible how the @ASMFC FAILS to acknowledge the need for drastic cuts to the #menhaden fishery. They literally ignored their own science and data and, as usual, put Business interests first and the coastal ecosystem LAST.
Recent news in the Bunker world has me thinking about this story. "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
THANK YOU to 6,184 Americans who signed our petition! Today we submitted it to @CommerceGov, requesting emergency protections for NY/NJ menhaden.
BIG NEWS COMING OCT 3: ASMFC Technical Committee releases justification memo for 2026-2028 quotas.
Stay tuned.
