  1. Some nice smooth #textures as wind shear #shapes the #clouds August we usually get winds ray bring dry weather and fire seasons starts-2026 looks like we are going to get rain #photography to document #shifts in local sky behaviour

  2. #Freshwater #lakes,like #Flughafensee #Berlin, play a complex #role in #globalwarming. Their #sediments are important #carbonsinks. However, they also release #CO2/#methane through microorganism activities. Furthermore, #lakeswarmup faster than surrounding air. L. Huang et al.(2024) address this and predict #shifts in #aquaticspecies #distributions and rearrangements of #freshwaterhabitats.

  3. The New York Times published a stunning account of more than 100 #migrant #children, largely from Central America, who, according to the Times’ reporting,
    were working #overnight #shifts and #dangerous #jobs for companies large and small throughout the U.S.

    According to the report:
    In Los Angeles, #children
    🔹stitch “Made in America” tags into #JCrew shirts.
    🔹They bake dinner rolls sold at #Walmart and #Target,
    🔹process milk used in #Ben & #Jerry’s ice cream
    🔹and help debone chicken sold at #Whole #Foods.

    🔹As recently as the fall, middle schoolers made #Fruit #of #the #Loom socks in Alabama.

    🔹In Michigan, children make auto parts used by #Ford and #General #Motors.

    ⭐️In other words, nearly all of us are likely buying and using goods fabricated by children’s hands.

    ⭐️We’re all implicated in this story.

    These migrant children, who have traveled thousands of miles, are under #intense #pressure to send money home to their families or to the people who sponsor them in the United States.

    Many of them are #extorting the children for smuggling fees, rent and living expenses. 

    These children are ostensibly under the purview of the Department of Health and Human Services, which assigns them caseworkers to make sure they’re cared for while they are in this country. 

    The New York Times reports that
    “in interviews with more than 60 caseworkers, most independently estimated that
    💥about two-thirds of all unaccompanied migrant children ended up working #full #time.”

  4. Today I noticed a shift in vocabulary: Western media reports are saying “unhoused person” or “persons experiencing homelessness” instead of “homeless person” as they previously used to.

  5. If Trump is convicted, Secret Service protection may be obstacle to imprisonment

    Former and current #Secret #Service agents said that while there is no precedent, they feel certain the agency would insist on providing some form of 24/7 #protection to an #imprisoned former #president.

    And, they say, the agency is probably planning for that possibility, seeking to match to some degree its normal practice of rotating three #daily #shifts of at least one or two agents providing close proximity protection.

  6. Night #shifts could go either way. Either the patients were sedate or they weren't; either there was an emergency or there wasn't. Tonight was a quiet one: enough to hear whispers in the empty corridors; the tap-tap-tapping on the ward's third floor windows.

  7. Leaving 'bah humbug' behind: a psychological phenomenon news.unm.edu/news/leaving-bah- on Ebenezer Scrooge and quantum change :-) I wonder if at a global scale there are parallels with #paradigm #shifts? #scalability matters
