For a Southeast Alaska family, a peaceful night at anchor ended with a giant thud, a sinking boat, and a swim to shore in the dark.

Good Morning Alaska... Happy Monday... And Yes, this is Real.... 😑

Just saying hi 😊👋

What happens to public lands in Utah matters in Alaska.

Bears Ears. Grand Staircase-Escalante. The Arctic Refuge.

These fights aren’t isolated. They’re part of a larger push to weaken protections and prioritize extraction over conservation.

This was in Northern ontario and listen to this. ( copy n paste from a friend but still.)

Apparently they had cut off from the train but went back to rescue a foreman.

They couldn’t see their own train in the smoke and flames and they crashed into it so hard it shut the engines down.

They tried to get out by hi rail but the truck caught on fire and then they ran 3 miles on foot down the track

This is a train engulfed in flames outside Armstrong, Ontario. The crew made it out safely!

This is near Armstrong, Ontario.

When will the Canadian National Railway Company make a statement about this incident?

[NWS Fairbanks @NWSFairbanks]

There is increasing confidence that a large plume of wildfire smoke will move into Alaska tonight and continue through Saturday from NW Canada. The bulk of smoke is expected to remain east of Fairbanks as another system moves in from the Bering Sea. Here's a look at timing. #akwx

A drilling rig fell over and caught fire on the North Slope. Diesel spilled into the tundra. Five months later: no cleanup, no response to our letter.

But sure, tell us again how "safely managed" Arctic drilling will be once there's no environmental review at all. https://t.co/UvWEX82pDr

A wonderful afternoon with the puffins at the viewing site in Elliston, NL.

LET THIS SINK IN—the U.S. now has no confirmed CDC director, no FDA commissioner, no Surgeon General, an NIH director with no medical license, and the last Acting CDC Director was a George Bush speechwriter. In fact—the only doctor/scientist we have in the White House is… Dr Oz.

A work colleague sent me this photo of sheep in a field of dandelions taken on his evening walk. I think it’s beautiful. He gave me permission to post it and reckoned it might get 100 likes. I bet him it would make at least 1000. Off you go folks - do your thing 😂

Migrating fish in Utrecht were getting stuck at a canal lock. Two ecologists fixed the problem with a doorbell.

It's called the Visdeurbe, or the "fish doorbell."

Every spring, fish migrate through the city's canals to spawn in shallow upstream waters. But the old Weerdsluis lock, built in the 1600s, stays mostly closed in early spring because boat traffic is low.

Fish pile up against the gate with nowhere to go. Predators find them, and many don't make it.

Two ecologists in Utrecht had an idea. Put an underwater camera on the lock, livestream it, and let anyone on Earth press a digital doorbell when they see fish waiting.

The lock keeper opens the gate when enough people have rung in.

In 2024, the doorbell was pressed 150,000 times by viewers from Germany, the US, the Netherlands, the UK, and dozens of other countries.

Over 20 million people tuned in to watch. Thousands of fish got through: perch, bream, pike, rudd, catfish, even eels.

You don't have to live in Utrecht to help. You can open your laptop right now and help a fish in the Netherlands get to where it's going.

Afternoon everyone. Some delightful individual hacked my account and X have permanently suspended it, thanks a lot. I’ve made some good friends on here and want to catch up, so if this could be retweeted loads, I’d really appreciate it, thanks a lot 😊😊

[peaklass @peaklass1]

Goodbye March! At times you were bitingly cold and relentlessly dark … but I kept watching and there were plenty of moments of beauty to catch. Thanks for everything. x
