Crows are such amazing ecological generalists. For several years I've watched various birds in the Seattle area that have learned to pluck fish from the water, sometimes swooping and scooping, other times, hovering almost like a tern. Below, some very jerky video (hand-held 800mm lens). 🪶

NOTE: This is *substantially* more broad than initial reporting I saw of this injunction — which just referenced the applicability in the four states.

When we finished FAULT LINES, I tried to decide which of these two had caused the most destruction and damage to American institutions and, honestly, I think it’s a tie.

Newt Gingrich and Mitch McConnell are the two greatest villains in US history but everyone is focused on Trump and the presidency

Just attending a 3-day workshop on the danger of abrupt ocean circulation changes. Discussions are quite worrying. E.g. in 35 to 45 % of high quality models, convection in the open North Atlantic collapses in the 2030s due to #globalheating. -> Major climate disruption. Not good.
