đź‘€ "Germany and Italy swelter in heatwave as records tumble across Europe", headlines today's The Guardian.

👉 They could've also written: "Europe harvests the consequences of consumer societies' denial on climate"

Just a reminder: greenhouse gas emissions make extreme periods (much) longer, stronger, and more frequent.

The UN just issued a 94-page detailed report documenting that the Israeli government committed genocide by deliberately targeting Palestinian children—killing more than 20,000.

You won’t see corporate media cover it. You won’t see politicians who voted to fund Netanyahu be asked about it. You won’t see AIPAC be questioned about it. Silence to this atrocity is complicity with this atrocity. Stop listening to any journalist, and vote out every politician, silent on this genocide. Enough.

@NewtonMark Having worked at a compression plant when the flare is going flat out (commissioning), can confirm it is not somewhere you want to be close to. Impressive roar and the heat can be felt 100s of metres away.

Opinion | The silent war on federal science funding

The changes would cement federal control of research grants, but there’s still time to act.

@nyquildotorg My partner's comment upon seeing this: "did they make a sneaker flavoured ice-cream?" 🤢

@NewtonMark yep. If the methane is escaping it's much better to burn it and convert to CO2, reducing CO2e from 25 to 1.

There are methane detection methods using IR, but it's not FLIR thermal imaging. https://www.spectroscopyonline.com/view/detecting-methane-emissions-how-spectroscopy-is-contributing-to-sustainability-efforts

Detecting Methane Emissions: How Spectroscopy is Contributing to Sustainability Efforts

Controlling methane is one of the highest-impact ways to reduce climate impacts, so its accurate measurement is essential. Spectroscopy offers valuable tools for this task.

UK Doctors’ Union Drops Israel-Backed [IHRA] Definition of Antisemitism: Over concerns medics are being punished for opposing Gaza genocide | Novara Media (2026-06-25)

>> The British Medical Association (#BMA) has voted to drop the International Holocaust Remembrance Association (#IHRA) definition of antisemitism over fears it had a “chilling” effect on free speech, including support for #Palestine.

>> The IHRA definition regards certain criticisms of Israel – including that its existence is a racist endeavour – as antisemitic. In the UK, it has been widely adopted by the national government, policing and local authorities.

>> The definition was officially adopted by Israel’s government in 2017. Doctors voted to drop it at the BMA’s annual meeting on Tuesday over fears that medics are being punished for their views on international politics…

@nxskok @Richard_Littler The base R functions that I used before discovering the tidyverse were all dual spelling. It would be frustrating to have the rare one that was only in simplified English.
