"Seeing this baby bobbing up and down in the dark water, paddling for its life, I felt sobered by its odds of survival: only about one in 1,000 sea turtles reaches maturity."

Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger to ITV: “Putin would’ve been absolutely delighted by our decision (to leave the EU) and so would Xi.” “Particularly since I've left office and I've travelled around Europe, I'm profoundly depressed. Just nobody mentions the UK. We've made ourselves irrelevant.”

It's worth googling the Great Smog of London to see how far we've come. Images like this from the 1950s. It was caused in part from burning coal

Strongmen begin by limiting civil liberties, move onto assassinating and imprisoning those who disagree with the consolidation of power and wind up dispatching members of their circle who look at them wrong.

A lot of Americans do know what it's like to live under an authoritarian regime. My parents do. Many immigrants ended up in the US because they were fleeing authoritarianism (sometimes US backed). Offhand Haitians, Dominicans, Salvadorans, Nicaraguans, Koreans all know.

#Beryl is now forecast to be a cat 4 storm before it reaches the Windward Islands tomorrow AM!
At this rate it may become the strongest June hurricane on record in the Atlantic.
As of now the strongest is Audrey 1957. That was in the Gulf, where June hurricanes are more common.

A glittery bi-colored striped sweat bee visiting a purple cone flower.

These bees live in communal ground burrows, I see them peeking out as they come and go. Quite charming.

Hi, are you doomscrolling? I know the presidential debate is historically important for a variety of reasons, and you want to be informed about the world. You also deserve enough time to rest and recover. Make an effort to get enough sleep, and charge your phone outside of your bedroom.

Something I as a tech services librarian recommend: As soon as you hear about a forthcoming book you’d like to borrow, go to your library’s catalog and try to place a hold. There’s a good chance a record is already there. Strong demand stats help us plan—and look good to trustees & administrators. 📚
