Kīlauea continues to make history. 🌋

The ongoing summit eruption in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park has set a new record for lava fountaining episodes, and it's still going.

@MartyCaswell @JohnSilvaJr @FriarTerritory I'm devastated it cost 400 bucks a game to pay for their crappyness.

@MartyCaswell @JDubCot @FriarTerritory When is someone going to ask why Manny doesn't bat 6th?

Punish one, correct a hundred.

They bypassed the terrestrial food chain to tap into a vast, unexploited energy source: Ocean

These desert lions depend on marine prey for >85% of their diet. They hunt fur seals & coastal birds such as cormorants & flamingos.

They have phenotypic adaptations to survive in coastal deserts: leaner bodies, longer legs, & highly efficient metabolisms, allowing them to go days without fresh water.

The local coastal lion population in Namibia went extinct in 1980s, & it was once thought that the knowledge of hunting marine prey had gone extinct with them.

However, in the early 2000s, a few lions recolonised Skeleton Coast National Park. Initially, they were wholly dependent on terrestrial prey like zebra & oryx, much like typical savannah lions.

The severe drought of 2015 made terrestrial prey scarce, pushing a few orphaned lionesses to shift back to marine prey.

Since lions are highly social creatures, this knowledge of hunting marine prey has been continuously passed down to incoming generations.

This is the only wild lion population that mainly lives & feeds in marine environments.

@MartyCaswell @DSmithShow @FriarTerritory Why can everyone in the lineup be moved except Manny? He should of been penciled in the 6th spot at least 2 weeks ago.

What a difference 48 hours makes.

Even I was stunned at the progress Skye made today ❤️

📍 Washington, D.C. - Back at the White House complex this week alongside Toby Deen, P.E. to advance a simple but urgent mission: Unleash California! 🇺🇸

California sits on world-class oil, gas, and geothermal resources, yet Californians pay the highest energy prices in the continental U.S. and depend on foreign crude to fill the supply gap. That outcome is a state policy failure, not a resource failure.

The solution isn’t complicated. Produce California’s energy in California, for the people of California.

Doing so means:

✅ Affordable energy for working families

✅ High-paying jobs in the communities that need them most

✅ Revenue flowing to local governments and schools

✅ A reliable grid that can power the AI revolution

✅ Energy built here, not imported from the Middle East and Amazon rainforest

Unleash the Golden State. Unlock the Golden Age. The work continues. 🇺🇸

BREAKING: Dawa Sherpa, A Nepali climber who went missing above Camp III on Mt Everest since last week, has been found alive after a miraculous survival and making an extraordinary descent alone from high on the mountain

He was discovered this morning near Crampon Point by an SPCC garbage management team while crawling toward base camp suffering from frostbite and severely weakened. Details to follow.

Check out the INSANE blast of plasma that was ejected from the Sun just hours ago from a 7.7 m-class solar flare at 7:00 am UTC.

2 billion years ago, a nuclear reactor geologically self-assembled and turned itself on.

No humans were involved. Only rock, groundwater, & natural uranium.

It ran intermittently for hundreds of thousands of years.

Here's the story of Oklo (not the company, but the place!):🧵

[Edward.Vijayakumar @edwanx]

Two notable events were observed. AR4455 produced an eruptive M3.3 flare with dimming and a coronal wave. CME appears to have been deflected toward the SE by a central coronal hole. Followed by another big eruption from Ex-AR4436 behind the NE limb.
