There's still a #vaquita threat from gill nets set illegally for China-bound totoaba. Also from abandoned "ghost nets" still killing fish and potentially drowning porpoises. Here #operationmilagro retrieved one. 2/

The thought experiment here is appropriately followed by her kicker, “Then I shivered.”
Quote Tweet
I just tweeted swastika-tattooed body of the Allen TX shooter. And I thought, "Is this what it felt like to be a liberal in 1936 Germany?"
And then wondered whether social media would have made a damned bit of difference in the course of the Third Reich.
And then I shivered.

US food waste Sankey diagram (EPA 2023).
Here is where the 349 lb of food waste per person in the US went in 2019.
Note this is *up* from 328 lb per person in 2016, despite the USG setting a target in 2015 to halve food waste by 2030.
Progress needed!

Pandemic casualties reached 22 million globally, with 46% in Asia and 83% in developing countries. As of last week, COVID remained the 3rd leading global cause of death.
Call it over but that’s an awful lot of people who continue to die daily.
