When I started working as a climate scientist back in 2010, the world had warmed by around 0.9C compared to the preindustrial (1850-1900) period.
Today, 15 years later, we are at ~1.4C with no signs of slowing down...

I almost fried my laptop while rendering this, but I think it turned out nicely.

Donald Trump is once again trying to defend accepting bribes from foreign figures.
In an angry post on Truth Social Sunday night, Trump claimed he’d done nothing wrong by accepting a $400 luxury jet from the Qatari royal family to replace Air Force One.

Chris Van Hollen, a senator for Maryland, told an audience at the Center for American Progress thinktank in Washington: “To watch the Trump administration apply what I call their global apartheid policy by providing asylum or refugee status to some Afrikaners – white South Africans – while they shut everybody else out is just an outrageous insult to the whole idea of our country, and the whole idea of Dr King that at the end of the day it’s character that counts.”
“We have to call it out for what it is: it’s an application of the global apartheid policy by the Trump administration.”
Jeanne Shaheen, the top Democrat on the Senate foreign relations committee, said in a statement: “It is baffling as to why the Trump administration is admitting Afrikaners for resettlement while continuing an indefinite suspension for thousands of legitimate asylum seekers who have fled persecution, often because their lives were at risk.”
Last year, the UN found no South Africans were eligible for refugee status. The decision by this administration to put one group at the front of the line is clearly politically motivated and an effort to rewrite history.”

I love your rock garden. I don’t like the sound of dry wetlands so here’s hoping a lot more rain comes your way.
Weather wise the allotments missed out on the thunderstorm rains which fell just a few miles away. We got a brief heavy shower that was enough to wet the ground but not enough to put much in the water butts.

Coca-Cola has a new AI-powered ad that proudly features a quote from a J.G. Ballard book — except he didn't write the words, and it's not his book. @404mediaco explains what happened — and the irony of using Ballard's words in a commercial built with technology. "The ultimate role of 'Crash' is cautionary, a warning against that brutal, erotic and overlit realm that beckons more and more persuasively to us from the margins of the technological landscape,” Ballard wrote in his 1995 introduction to his most famous work.

When spacecraft are constructed, they're assembled in special cleanrooms that are engineered to have extremely low levels of dust and microbes. Now, researchers have found that specific types of extremophiles have evolved to thrive in environments designed to remove all their competitors. They examined space agency cleanrooms and found 26 novel bacterial species, with specific features that let them handle decontamination and radiation.
