Since 2020, Iberian orcas in the Strait of Gibraltar and off the coast of Portugal have engaged in over 700 "interactions" with sailboats and yachts. These critically endangered whales target rudders, often disabling the vessels or causing them to sink.

Many Americans today have mixed opinions about Barack Obama. Some admire him, others criticize him. But for those of us who come from outside, the reality is often different.
Believe it or not, no American president has ever left such a strong impression around the world as Barack Obama. He embodied hope, respect, intelligence, and dialogue. He represented a powerful image of America: open, inspiring, and close to the people.
For many of us, Obama was not just a president; he was a symbol. A symbol that everything is possible, that social background, skin color, or personal history should never be limits.
He restored confidence to millions of young people around the world. He spoke to the world with dignity, calm, and responsibility. He knew how to unite instead of divide.
No matter the internal political debates, internationally, Barack Obama will forever remain one of the most respected, loved, and admired American presidents.
His legacy goes beyond borders. And his name will remain engraved in history.

Just saw "The Lost Bus" w/@McConaughey. Great movie & message!

Fire chief statement in 2018:
"Every year the fires get bigger. And, there's more of them. We are being being damn fools. That's the truth."

Defrost your turkey -- starting now!

This is a general reminder that a large turkey (over 16 lbs) needs to be out of the freezer & defrosting in the fridge today if you want it to be ready for cooking on Thursday. Tomorrow or Monday is fine for smaller birds. #Thanksgiving

Jim Lovell, astronaut who commanded Apollo 13, dies at 97. He was a local hero to us Chicagoans and ran a great restaurant, too. He also piloted Apollo 8 which gave us the famed "Earthrise" photo of earth from a trip to the dark side of the moon. #RIP

When you pump liquid poisons into the ground ... they eventually make it into the water table (and often into our air). The US must protect our air and drinking water!

The world is losing its reflective shield, one snowcap at a time. Mount #Fuji remains snowless, marking the latest in the year it's been bare in over 130 years of records. The implications - with less sunlight reflected, #global warming will only accelerate. #Climate #Japan

China's spectacular EV run has no equal in 125 years of automotive history.

> EV sales from 1.3 to 12 million in 4 years
> EV penetration from 6% to 50% in 4 years

China NEV sales / share of new car sales

2020: 1.3 million / 6.3%

2021: 3.5m / 15%

2022: 5.4m / 30%

2023: 8.2m / 37%

2024: 12m / 50% (f)

China NEV: BEV + PHEV + Fuel Cell

What is going on here? Just market forces at work?
