@JackyReaps @CharlesMullins2 Even though it should heal eventually, the ripple effect throughout the recourse might just annihilate the reality as we know it.

🚨🌊 THIS IS STARTING TO LOOK VERY SERIOUS.

We now have +5°C ocean temperature anomalies showing up off the coasts of Peru and Ecuador.

That is the birthplace of the world's strongest El Niño events.

The Pacific is heating up at a pace that should have everyone's attention.

🔥 Massive amounts of heat are building in the eastern Pacific
🌊 Warm water continues surging eastward
🌍 Global weather patterns are beginning to respond

If this trend continues:

🌡️ Historic heatwaves could spread across multiple continents
🌾 Crop failures and agricultural stress could intensify
📈 Food prices could surge globally
💧 Droughts and water shortages could worsen
🌧️ Flooding risks could increase in vulnerable regions

The atmosphere hasn't fully coupled with the ocean yet.

That's the scary part.

The Pacific is still loading energy into the system.

And if a full-blown Super El Niño emerges, the second half of 2026 could become one of the most extreme weather periods of the modern era.

Buckle up fellers...

IT'S SHOWTIME. 🌊🔥

@EnTr0pY_88 @ShiningScience Social evolution simulations by different AI are positive recourses to validate political choices people make, predicting long term trend of the model. Rebellion leading to chaos is a known pattern. Controlled change through good management is the path to the near optimal model.

@lenkaeckhardt @ShiningScience Rebellion leads to chaos, that is a known social pattern. Controlled change requres intelligent management, that is what good social model strives for.

Nous avons pris note des consultations lancées par les États-Unis concernant les droits de douane en vertu de l’article 301 visant un large éventail de pays.

Cela n’est pas une surprise, les États-Unis ayant fait part de leur intention de remplacer les droits de douane mondiaux de base existants, imposés en vertu de l’article 122, lorsqu’ils arriveront à échéance en juillet.

À noter que les nouveaux droits de douane en vertu de l’article 301 prévoient une exception pour les biens conformes à l’ACEUM ainsi que d’autres exemptions existantes pour certains produits.

Le Canada dispose d’un régime solide de protection contre le travail forcé, et nous prendrons bientôt des mesures pour le renforcer encore davantage, notamment par la présentation d’un nouveau projet de loi ce mois-ci, tout en continuant à travailler en étroite collaboration avec nos partenaires commerciaux.

Nous partageons l’objectif des États-Unis de veiller à ce que les marchandises produites par le travail forcé n’entrent pas dans nos chaînes d’approvisionnement, et nous dialoguerons de manière constructive avec eux au cours des prochaines semaines.

Opossums live short, difficult lives, yet they spend their nights doing work many people never see.

Most only live about one to two years in the wild. They move through backyards, forests, roadsides, and neighborhoods after dark, searching for food while avoiding cars, dogs, predators, and harsh weather. Their lives are brief, but their role in nature is meaningful.

Opossums help clean the world around you. They eat pests, insects, carrion, and sometimes even venomous snakes. They also help reduce ticks, which can carry disease. In their quiet way, they support the balance of the places they pass through.

Still, many people fear them because of how they look or because they appear at night. But opossums are usually shy, gentle animals. When scared, they often freeze, hiss, drool, or play dead because they want to survive, not attack.

Kindness can be simple. Give them space. Do not harm them. Slow down when you see one near the road. Let them keep doing the work nature gave them.

Opossums may not live long, but they leave the world cleaner than they found it.

Dottie, a bottlenose dolphin who lived 39 years at SeaWorld, died this week without ever feeling the rhythm of the ocean, or the freedom she deserved.

SeaWorld describes Dottie as a devoted mother of four calves, but they separated her from every single one of them. That is not devotion, that is the reality of captivity, where profit determines family bonds.

Dottie was born into concrete tanks and died in them. She never experienced the open sea. She spent her life performing for tourists, not because it was natural or enriching, but because SeaWorld's business model depends on it.

SeaWorld positions itself as an institution rooted in marine science. They know, because the science is unambiguous, that cetaceans are highly intelligent, wide-ranging, socially complex animals. They know that no tank, however large, can meet the physical or psychological needs of a dolphin. And yet they continue their breeding program, ensuring that more animals like Dottie will be born into the same captive cycle, never knowing the life they were meant to live.

Dottie's story should not end with a tribute post. It should end with change.

SeaWorld must end its dolphin breeding program now. No more calves born into captivity. No more mothers separated from their young. No more lives defined by performance and concrete walls.

Dottie deserved better. The dolphins who come after her deserve better.

Wayne Hsiung, the animal rights activist facing 31 years in prison for his role in the Ridglan Farms beagle rescue, has published a detailed plan to target Marshall BioResources in North Rose, New York, which he describes as the Death Star of vivisection.

MBR is believed to house around 20,000 dogs and 40,000 other animals including cats, ferrets, and pigs. Hsiung says it supplies approximately half of all dogs used in experiments across the United States, making it larger than all other suppliers combined.

Leaked footage from the facility showed beagles thrashing against inhalation masks during training for toxicity experiments. Some dogs were used in phosgene gas experiments, a chemical weapon banned under international law that killed 85,000 people in World War One. Dogs subjected to phosgene slowly drown over many hours as their lungs fill with fluid.

Hsiung's plan calls for rescuing every animal at MBR by the end of 2026 through political pressure, mass mobilisation, and if necessary direct action. New York Congressmember Nick Langworthy has personally visited the facility and expressed support for its closure.
