Hundreds of defunct #satellites plunge through Earth’s #atmosphere yearly, and the count is rising.

The dying satellites, it turns out, don’t just wink out into the ether. Each one leaves a bit of itself behind.

The satellites’ fiery death throes, along with a steep rise in the number of rocket launches, are adding a glut of ozone-destroying and climate-altering pollutants to the #stratosphere.

For instance, aluminum oxides are catalysts for #ozone depletion.

I'm not going to lie, Trump's reelection feels like dying the death of a thousand cuts, it's endlessly, infinitely depressing. Kamala would have been fun, competent, and exciting, but instead I'll have to look at Trump's cunting face, and try to make sense of the evil vomit which spews out of the anus he calls a mouth, for four long fucking years of pain.

In the legal system of the United States, a Brady disclosure consists of exculpatory or impeaching information and evidence that is material to the guilt or innocence or to the punishment of a defendant. The term comes from the 1963 U.S. Supreme Court case Brady v. Maryland, in which the Supreme Court ruled that suppression by the prosecution of evidence favorable to a defendant who has requested it violates due process.

Thank you @karlauerbach for posting this article about an experimental surgical procedure that showed positive results, as in stabilizing and improving memory, in a woman with Alzheimer's. How amazing it would be if this were duplicated and, if successful, scalable.

Millions of western monarchs used to return to overwintering groves in California every winter. In the 1980s, an estimated 4.5 million butterflies migrated to the coast annually. However, the population plummeted in recent decades due to habitat loss, pesticides, disease, and, increasingly, climate change. https://yubanet.com/california/as-annual-western-monarch-butterfly-count-gets-underway-new-analysis-highlights-importance-of-california-state-parks-for-species/

"Border militias" have been preparing for this for decades-the Klan ran border patrols in the 1970s, mercenaries in the 1980s, Minutemen in the 200s. They have been violent, extralegal actors and illegal private armies most of that time www.wired.com/story/border...
