NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Whut?!?
The misnamed Gaza Humanitarian Agency just closed and vaporised under the ceasefire?

And UN agencies are back operating at higher speed and scale, just as they should have been all along.

This bit in particular: what, our leaders just decided that the UN aid agency were terrorists, then replaced them with mercenaries firing machine guns at starving civilians? Everyone involved needs to be tried for war crimes then sent to prison for decades.

HMRC will claw back from pensioners' who have incomee over £35,000 the £300 fuel allowance from DWP. Why can't HMRC similarly claw back rule-breaking ministers' severance money? If it can be done with pensioners, why not ministers?

The salmon population of the Wye is in collapse, and Atlantic salmon are now endangered in the UK. Those bringing the court case argue the needs of intensive farming cannot be permitted to outweigh the needs of fish, wildlife + river users.

A lone and probably invisible Pink Footed Goose gives the “where is everybody?” call as it heads east over Wells Harbour this morning (don’t worry it was heading for N Point and lots of friends). @themarshtit.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social

John Thornhill gets it about right: "the quest for artificial general intelligence" is "the unfathomable in pursuit of the indefinable".

Goniatite fossils packed throughout this piece of shale. The shells of these ancient relatives of Squid and Octopus must have littered the sea floor that covered this part of the earths surface over 300 million years ago.
