Do (almost) anything for a golden torc. Reputed to put up with silver and comply. Vicious when cornered for real, Skathe. I don’t want to talk about it. Rowane.

@ATinyGreenCell Oh my contingency. Oh my hazard and happenstance.

@BenNollWeather Tropics are already breaking records EVERYWHERE (central/southern africa, allover asia, central and south america) even before The Nino is officially on.
I don t wanna imagine how we will be in few months.
Monthly averages of 97F next April in TH.

Rusal that owns the Aughinish Alumina is still controlled by sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, according to a confidential report by Swedish tax authorities as reported by @IrishTimes

If you are looking at just one El Niño forecasting model you are probably not getting the full picture.

The spread amongst models is considerably greater than the spread reported by most individual models.

Generally, I would recommend caution about predictions that rely on a single model ensemble.

Doubly so, if that prediction involves an event far more extreme than ever seen historically.

New extremes are possible. But it's also possible some models are off in crazytown.

@ChrissGPT Whatever it does will be no more than footnotes to these real achievements. It's very welcome to sustain them, mind.

Then in 2022, Aughinish Alumina was given €2.1 million in public funding to treat the 'red mud' waste product site. Seriously, what the hell is going on?

The Irish public subsidized the Russian Aluminium industry after Russia invaded Ukraine. This is appalling!

🔥🚨 MAJOR JUST IN: The SAVE America Act Just Failed In The Senate.

The measure, which would have required voter ID and proof of citizenship nationwide, was rejected 48-50.

Republican senators Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and Susan Collins voted no.

A remarkable video:
Putin, an obscure 1991 Leningrad bureaucrat, warning against the return of totalitarian rule to Russia—paired with his reaction to those words as President in 2002. The irony writes itself.

🚨Every Building you see in this picture forms part of the Russian embassy complex in Ireland.

As of 2024, they had 14 staff including 5 of Diplomatic rank. They also sought planning permission for an extension.

Just why do they need so much space? What are they up to?

@yarotrof The Republic can nationalize the feckin thing tomorrow, ffs, and easily hire engineering talent from across the EU and beyond if it is short on that commodity, customers too.

And, saints preserve us, Irish catholic anti-semitism is a *hell* of a thing.

[Yaroslav Trofimov @yarotrof]

Got it. If Irish aluminum is used to kill Palestinians, it’s shouldn’t be sold, but if it’s used for Russian missiles killing Ukrainians, we just need to think about local jobs first.

Preventing bad actors from creating synthetic versions of dead plagues is a good thing, but doing it while also disarming our ability to control real biothreats like screwworm and natural pandemic respiratory viruses is pretty much the definition of biosecurity theater

[Michael Baym @baym]

Pretending like someone with an AI model and some gene synthesis is anything close in threat scale to the horrible diseases that we have spent centuries beating back serves more to market AI tools than provide a sober realistic assessment of threats

every winter the ground squirrel basically dissolves 60% of its synapses, and its heartbeat slows to around 2 beats per minute.

somehow it is able to recover ~all its connection within 2 hours of waking, and recalls all its alliances
