#Allergy Season: Earlier, Longer, and Worse. Analysis of #temperature #data for 203 US cities shows the #freez-free season lengthened by more than two weeks (15 days) on average since 1970. For millions of Americans that suffer from #seasonalallergies to #pollen & #mold, #ClimateChange is bringing an earlier, longer, and overall worse allergy season. https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-matters/allergy-season-earlier-longer-and-worse-2023

The #Corrosive #Legacy of #SilvioBerlusconi Opinion by Yascha Mounk https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/the-corrosive-legacy-of-silvio-berlusconi/ar-AA1crPRm He masterfully made #political #conflicts all about him & turned #judicial #proceedings to his advantage by casting himself as a #martyr, likening himself to #JesusChrist. Although he consistently failed to deliver on his promises to reverse #economic #stagnation and political decline he was able to retain the #loyalty of a large segment of population & dominate Italian politics for 2 decades aka #trump

@flexghost amplifying vicious hatred is rampant in the media - here and abroad. This is not a matter of fact checking - for all intent and purposes this no longer a lynchpin of journalism. Say this word - Lie - and associate this word - Lie - with each and every statement made by persons with free and unfettered access to the public forum which is nothing more than a Lie. Write, report, clearly state - this person is lying. This is not protected speech - it is #HateSpeech.

Ronan Farrow writes in New Yorker that U.S. govt so reliant on #ElonMusk whose mobile Internet terminals #Starlink are vital to #Ukrainian military that it is now struggling "to respond to his risk-taking, brinkmanship, and caprice". There is little precedent for the dependency that the U.S. now has on Musk from the future of #energy and #transportation to the #exploration of #space. #SpaceX is currently sole means by which #NASA transports crew from US soil into #space https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/08/28/elon-musks-shadow-rule

How #Reflective #Paint Brings Down #Scorching #City #Temperatures. Cities across the U.S. have found relief from this summer’s record-setting heat with the help of technologies that shield #roofs, #pavement and other surfaces from the sun’s scorching rays. Some of these technologies have been around for more than a decade but are experiencing greater demand as global temperatures rise. https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/other/technologies-help-cities-and-neighborhoods-beat-the-heat/ar-AA1ggJSx #heat #climatecrisis #ReflectiveCoating #paint #GreenRoofs #temperature

#Slaughter at a #Festival of #Peace and #Love Leaves #Israel #Transformed...the white flashes of #Hamas# rockets from #Gaza, the fire at dawn signaling an #attack that would turn fields full of young #Israelis dancing to #psychedelicmusic into a #slaughterhouse. In this #massacre of its #youth, Israel’s 75-year-old quest for some carefree# normalcy met the murderous fury of those long-oppressed #Palestinians who deny the state’s right to #exist. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/15/world/middleeast/israel-music-festival-massacre.html?unlocked_article_code=CbVbvqLRveSSZ3Dn-0OhK3MKfHf7JrMrLfA8bvQN1nj3pT5MmiKR-ci5-1ErpiBpbhrS4_a3Jdi6uWY5gcT20MTMmf1EP6jFF-TCzUY3japg0SJVAzdpLAhzUJAkGQc5G62wSQunzhQrCbZa6KrmXjG8uucrEbYcl0UP1-lH4LP5a5YtmNYQWpRGD3sm3fACT2VtgQ6SUhsk4fQHnXUvJa3smXeTObz936wYMSavBmMVGVNbRI-skLQXbVvTUOmI8uFQdhR8FvX7A5hm7kBMH9Pi9nLowA4ykQH2s8uQJDBDgI_thdmqSD5q3nmJW9LNh6qjhBv4OvCWyK-IJycBgjfvd_2w5H9VSMUcglm7A7hWQw&smid=url-share

#Oyster fight: The humble sea creature could hold the key to #restoring #CoastalWaters . #Developers hate it. Revitalizing #oyster farms and wild oyster #reefs could undo decades of #environmental #destruction on our coasts. The story of oyster #aquaculture in the #Delaware Inland Bays—about 32 square miles of water draining into the #AtlanticOcean that make up a 320-square-mile watershed—is an object lesson for the rest of the world. https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/10/10/1081208/oyster-fight-the-humble-sea-creature-could-hold-the-key-to-restoring-coastal-waters-developers-hate-it/

Do you like cod, shrimp, salmon, crab, pollock? Do you shop at Walmart, Costco, Kroger or Albertsons for fish? Do you eat at 1 of more than 400,000 restaurants supplied by food distributor Sysco? Almost certainly. If so, you've likely been served or sold seafood caught by Indonesian forced-labor victims on Chinese vessels or processed in China by #Uyghurs, a cultural, racial and religious minority that faces systematic repression. 79% of the seafood sold in US is imported https://phys.org/news/2023-11-kind-seafood-morally-ethical.html

Law Dork - https://www.lawdork.com/p/washington-post-bombshell-washington - In a series of paragraphs that are up there as being among the most shocking I have read in my journalistic career, #WashingtonPost acknowledged on Saturday they hid #Alito article for 3 yrs and dropped it in the middle this holiday week, more than a week after NYT report, that they had known about the flag since at least January 20, 2021, and had not revealed knowledge of it until May 25, 2024. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/25/alito-flag-martha-ann-washington-post/?_pml=1 complicit #insurrection #democracy #MAGA
