Found this guy out by Coyote Prairie in West Eugene, Oregon over the weekend.

George Santos:

"I am not a criminal"

I am a graduate of Baruch College

"I am not a fraud"

I am Jewish

"I am not a fake"

I lost employees at the Pulse Night Club, I worked for Goldman Sachs Citigroup, my grandparents were holocaust survivors, and my mother died in the fall of the twin towers......

After a self-described "alpha male" tried to troll Greta Thunberg with a bizarre tweet boasting of having "33 cars," Thunberg made him absolutely regret it.

The climate activist needed just two short sentences to reduce him to ashes. πŸ”₯

When will they ever learn: do not come for Greta unless she sends for you.

Threat management priorities for conserving Antarctic biodiversity

Antarctic terrestrial biodiversity is at risk. This study demonstrates that existing conservation efforts will be insufficient in a changing world and that simultaneous global and regional efforts are urgently required to conserve Antarctic biodiversity for future generations.

One million species threatened with extinction. Even if we were to somehow halt all of our destructive behaviors *right now*, we'll still lose so many because of how few individuals are left.

It's not enough to just have genome sequences for these organisms to save them. We need cell lines and tissue.

Beautiful work by Reuters.

Question for those who say prosecuting a former president sets a dangerous precedent: Isn’t it more dangerous to set a precedent that a former president will never face accountability for breaking the law and inciting an insurrection?
One day you're on the front line of a war, the next day you're sitting in the Oval Office with the #President of the #UnitedStates of #America, and then the next day you're back on the front line of a war.
It must be a strange, sad, sobering feeling.
