Northern White Rhino: officially extinct in the wild. Last male dead. Only 2 females remain A creature that endured 55 million years—ice ages, asteroids, entire epochs—wiped out by human greed, poaching, and destroyed habitats. We failed them. 💔🦏
Nobody fell off harder than the hammerhead shark. Was a top shark for me as a kid and now completely obsolete in media and conversation.
🚨 BREAKING: Massive TSA lines at LaGuardia Airport in NYC stretch into the parking lot.
Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔 After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite. Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial. Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal. I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices. This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.
NYC spends more per homeless person than the median NYC household earns. $81,705 per person in FY2025. And $81,705 is a floor. It excludes supportive housing (~$500M/yr), mental health response teams, and NYPD encampment costs. The city projects ~$97K per person in FY2026.
The U.S. climate boundary that separates the humid east from the more arid west, has shifted 140 miles east since 1980
Glyphosate isn't the terrible herbicide it's made out to be. I dug deep into its impact in my latest @TheBTI analysis. Restricting glyphosate more would likely hurt wildlife and the environment in 3 big ways: increased toxicity, erosion, and greenhouse gas emissions. 🧵
