Duchess got a window seat because she liked to watch the cars go by🦋 eish! Duchie 🐈 she does what she wants, when she wants,and theres not a thing you can do about it 🤷♀️🫶🏻🥰 “"Time spent with Duchess is never wasted” SHE HAD ME AT A MEOW 😸She’s soooo NuNu’s ♥️
She is life.
Our future.
Our responsibility.
She is our ocean. 🌊
Though she faces growing threats, we still have the power to protect her — but we must #ActNow.
Our voices, choices and actions matter.
Monday is UN World Oceans Day. https://t.co/wmZGFf0mPc #SaveOurOcean
Scientists across the country are expressing alarm as the Trump administration dismantles another tool for understanding how the planet is changing.
Starting this month, more than 900 deep-sea ocean sensors will be pulled out of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans off the coast of Washington, Oregon, Alaska, North Carolina, and Greenland.
Researchers say these are critical ocean observation tools.
William Brangham (@WmBrangham) explains.
Under Trump, the Forest Service is gutting labs that cost ONE DOLLAR in rent so they can cram scientists into a Fort Collins office that costs taxpayers a million a year.
As reported by NPR, Trump's 2027 budget zeroes out Forest Service research entirely. Three hundred and nine million dollars, gone. Fifty-seven of the agency's seventy-seven research stations are on the chopping block.
These are the forests generations of Americans have hiked, hunted, camped, and prayed in. Sacred ground for almost anyone who's ever stepped outside in this country.
And the "efficiency" pitch? A scam.
The research station in Hilo, Hawaii sits on 30,000 acres the federal government rents for a one-time fee of ONE DOLLAR, locked in until 2067. The Michigan Tech lease? One dollar paid in 1963, free ever since. Another site costs the agency $600 a month for two rooms.
The destination they want everyone shipped to in Fort Collins runs taxpayers a million a year.
Read that again. They're closing dollar leases to expand a million-dollar lease.
Scientists in Baltimore have spent years planting white oak saplings that need three decades to mature. You can't FedEx a forest to Colorado. You can't manage a Hawaiian ecosystem from a cubicle in Utah.
Researchers told NPR they'll quit before they relocate. Which is the point.
Meanwhile, Trump has openly pledged to ramp up logging on federal land. Gut the scientists who document the damage, and there's nobody left to sound the alarm when ancient forests get clear-cut for profit.
These are the people who tell us when wildfire season turns deadly. Who track invasive beetles eating through pine. Who teach cities how to recycle dead trees instead of dumping them in landfills.
You don't dismantle the world's largest forestry research network because you're worried about a maintenance bill. You dismantle it because somebody plans to take a chainsaw to what the public owns and doesn't want a paper trail.
The forests don't belong to Tom Schultz. They don't belong to Trump. They belong to every American who has ever stood quiet under a hundred-year-old tree and understood, for one second, that some things are not for sale.
Defend them now, or explain it to your grandkids later.
At least 12 people were killed and more than 200 injured after a powerful earthquake struck General Santos, Philippines, earlier today, officials said.
Why UBTECH matters
One of China’s leading humanoid robotics companies
Competes conceptually with companies like Boston Dynamics (though different design philosophy)
Strong focus on AI + embodied robotics integration
Heavy investment in making humanoid robots commercially usable
A new threshold: China approves the world’s first commercial brain implant, restoring movement to some paralyzed patients. A medical leap forward—arriving, as always, in a world where power, technology, and the human mind rarely evolve in isolation.
