I recall that happening, but not the details. I wonder how this will affect the Great Green Wall (https://grandemurailleverte.org/); seems like it should help.

ELI5: Fuck Off trump, go play golf or something. And where TF are those Epstein Files ya pedo!? !

I was not familiar with the technical term, but have heard the term 'doldrums'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intertropical_Convergence_Zone

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ /ɪtʃ/ ITCH, or ICZ),[1] known by sailors as the doldrums[2] or the calms because of its monotonous windless weather, is the area where the northeast and the southeast trade winds converge. It encircles Earth near the thermal equator, though its specific position varies seasonally. When it lies near the geographic equator, it is called the near-equatorial trough. Where the ITCZ is drawn into and merges with a monsoonal circulation, it is sometimes referred to as a monsoon trough (a usage that is more common in Australia and parts of Asia). a

Unprecedented suppression of Panama’s Pacific upwelling in 2025 Abstract The Gulf of Panama’s (GOP) seasonal upwelling system has consistently delivered cool, nutrient-rich waters via northerly trade winds every January–April for at least 40 y. Here, we document the failure of this normally highly predictable phenomenon in 2025. Data suggest that the cause was a reduction in Panama wind-jet frequency, duration, and strength, possibly related to the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) position during the 2024–2025 La Niña, though the mechanisms remain unclear. Nevertheless, the consequences are likely significant, including decreases in fisheries productivity and exacerbated thermal stress on corals that typically benefit from upwelling’s cooling. This event underscores how climate disruption can threaten wind-driven tropical upwelling systems, which remain poorly monitored and studied despite their importance to ecology and coastal economies.

Did anyone anywhere ever think trump was interested in unity?

Cannabis impacts female fertility as evidenced by an in vitro investigation and a case-control study https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-63011-2

Abstract

Cannabis consumption and legalization is increasing globally, raising concerns about its impact on fertility. In humans, we previously demonstrated that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and its metabolites reach the ovarian follicle. An extensive body of literature describes THC’s impact on sperm, however no such studies have determined its effects on the oocyte. Herein, we investigate the impact of THC on human female fertility through both a clinical and in vitro analysis. In a case-control study, we show that follicular fluid THC concentration is positively correlated with oocyte maturation and THC-positive patients exhibit significantly lower embryo euploid rates than their matched controls. In vitro, we observe a similar, but non-significant, increased oocyte maturation rate following THC exposure and altered expression of key genes implicated in extracellular matrix remodeling, inflammation, and chromosome segregation. Furthermore, THC induces oocyte chromosome segregation errors and increases abnormal spindle morphology. Finally, this study highlights potential risks associated with cannabis use for female fertility.

I guess we'll never know.

Note: this plays on FreeTube

Maybe it wasn't murder. Maybe it was just an accident. There were probably lots of guns on campus, after all open carry is legal on campus' in UT, as I understand. Let's not prejudge the guy, he deserved a fair trial.

Cool so the guy wasn't breaking the law. Probably was just an accident, then?

Wait, wait, wait, how do we know that this was politically motivated? Could've been an accident. Maybe they guy was just cleaning his rifle, and it went off. Shit happens.

Gee, why is this a hostile act against them specifically? I mean, unless someone in the GOP were actually listed in the Epstein Files. Right?

It's a good Wednesday to be alive.

Asking the important questions, here. It's been years, and no one has been able to explain this adequately.

Must have been a weekend.

Ok, so what would be the best sort of masks to use? Organic cotton?
