“Climate change is turning ordinary weather into these disasters.”
New from Arcelia Martin at Inside Climate News: Over 100 are dead in Kerr County, including 28 children. As the world continues to burn fossil fuels, scientists say disasters like this are becoming the new normal. https://www.texasobserver.org/climate-change-kerr-county-flood/

Trump is working on regime change in Europe — fact, not conspiracy theory
The US State Department published a memo urging Washington to back far-right parties in EU elections to build obedient “civilizational allies,” branding mainstream Europe as anti-democratic and making threats against governments that resist—effectively exporting Trump’s culture war to erode European sovereignty.
On 27 May, an official document, The Need for Civilizational Allies in Europe, calling for regime change in European countries was published, written by a senior adviser for the Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor in the US State Department, writes Caroline de Gruyter.

Want to talk about your science in your own podcast but don't not know how to start? Or aren't sure what's involved logistically?
FediScience e.V. is planning a "podcasting for scientists 101" workshop and we would like to see how many people might be interested and what specifically you would expect to be covered.
This will be a free online event happening around late September or early October and would be conducted by an expert in science communication.
If you are interested, please either respond to this post or send me a DM. Please include any concrete topics or questions you would like to see covered in your message.
Boosts appreciated.

The UK government is going to test its emergency notification system again in September.
If you have a hidden or secret phone for your safety, make sure you keep it hidden and that it is switched off when this test takes place. Your phone will make siren sounds and vibrate even if it set to silent or Do Not Disturb is turned on.

Senator Murkowski just saved the Big Beautiful Bill
She switched her vote to yes giving republicans the 50 - 50 split which allows JD Vance to tiebreak
She immediately told reporters she hopes congress will vote it down.
Up to 18.5 MILLION Americans could lose Medicaid coverage because of this
Republicans are cowards
@BackFromTheDud
Thank the gods I am not wear Rowdy Roddy Piper's glasses.
@flexghost Insane, corrupt and unfit to serve. She claims she “hopes Congress will vote it down” which is psychotic thing to say after voting in favor of it.
@flexghost Murkowski has been a pain for Democracy from the very beginning.
I wonder if she’s thinking hardly about the BS she always ends up supporting. For those that don’t know, Sen. Murkowski has always claimed to have had a difficult time supporting these republican bills… before she ALWAYS ends up supporting then…!
@flexghost She votes for it and then hopes Congress VOTES IT DOWN??
That's beyond sick. It's not even on the same planet with sick. 🤮🤮🤮
@flexghost I begin to think she does this on purpose to draw all the fire.
There are 51 people responsible for this vote, but we're going to light up the network with hate more for this one than any other.
All those others must take some comfort in that. If I were Senator Anonymous (R-RU), I'd be buying Murkowski dinner every night of the week for taking this heat.
@mxyzptlk @flexghost People get talked into going against their better judgment. I've seen it happen and it's happened to me. Hell, just spent the last 10 years doing that over and over.
They relentlessly hounded her I'm sure. Probably plenty of threats too. They know what's coming same as us and being the very last one...
I bet they told her they'd kill her. She was pretty much the last of her kind if she was real.
Doesn't make your point any less valid though. It plays well.
lol
murkowski the pro-gun, pro-forced birth, pro-destroy the environment, she's a hero now because she held out for a carve out for her district
please
just stop this
Yeah, let's put out the fire with gasoline and hope it doesn't burn 🤢 🤮
@Barbramon1 @flexghost no, she could never be a hero no matter how she voted on this issue
because she is in fact evil
That alt-text though. Hilarious. Kudos!
This woman is dumb as a stump!!!
she's just your typical RW asshole coward...
She immediately told reporters she hopes congress will vote it down.
SHE IS FUCKING CONGRESS AND SHOULD HAVE AND COULD HAVE.
