In Trump’s America we can:
Give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the top 1%
Spend $1.5 trillion on the bloated Pentagon
Shell out $100 billion to bomb Iran
Provide $31 billion for Israel

But we can’t:
Enact universal healthcare
End child poverty
Abolish homelessness

Unacceptable.

Have people stopped trusting science? The data tell a surprising story

AIPAC and its allies have already spent $50 million this election cycle.

AI has spent $185 million.

Crypto has spent $288 million.

This is legalized bribery.

End Citizens United and move to the public funding of elections NOW.

In honor of #Caturday, we take a look at the striking black serval, a medium-sized wild cat native to Africa. Servals have the longest legs relative to the body size of any cat. Standing at around half a metre tall (1.6ft), they can run at speeds of 40 miles per hour (64km/h) and leap up to 3m (9.8ft) high, making them deadly whilst on the hunt for small animals. Servals also have the largest ears relative to size of any cat. Read more from @ScienceAlert:

Thanks so much for this report. Very informative.

In this piece, I use the recent extensive damage in the Western Cape to map out what climate induced collapse can look like.

We are in uncharted waters.

Today, I'm writing about one of the world’s most ambitious efforts to cut carbon emissions by putting a price on pollution.

Most people have heard of carbon pricing. Far fewer could explain how it actually works. So here we are, in this short article, I’ll attempt to explain what exactly it does..

Our friend Fea's Short-legged Toad is a relatively rare toad who grows to nearly four inches long and has short, stout legs! They spend most of their time hiding in riverside burrows but like to come out during rainy nights! (photo by Ian Dugdale)

What if treating your workers well was the business model?

P. Terry's Burger Stand just launched profit-sharing + an employee ownership trust for 1,800 workers. This is what good business looks like.

Our friend the Convex-tailed Horned Toad is a great example of Asian horned toad, with crests creating large pointy "horns" on their head! They live on Mount Tianping and the neighboring Houhe Nature Reserve in China! (photo by Amaël Borzée)

Painted this harvest mouse over a few coffee shop sessions with Golden QoR watercolors and Pentel Aquash brushes. Something about something this small, holding on so confidently, just made me want to pay attention.

There’s a river of molten rock flowing 1,400 miles below the Pacific Ocean in the Earth’s outer core, which is an important part of the planet’s magnetic field. Should we be concerned the river just changed directions? Read more from @sciencefocus:
