Jeff Conolly of Lyres has always been talented, uncompromising, infuriating. As he faces cancer, little has changed. - The Boston Globe Friends, admirers, and former bandmates rally around the musician ahead of a benefit show at the Middle East on March 12 to help raise money for his treatment.

If you're in Boston, Massachusetts, later this week this show at the Middle East is a must-see. It's a benefit for Jeff Conolly of the Lyres who has been diagnosed with cancer.

Here’s a male House Finch at a feeder just outside my office window in Huntsville, β€˜bama. A group of Bluebirds had just left, I couldn’t get a decent shot of them. 🌎πŸ§ͺ

Some of the highest freshwater diversity areas in the US are at the mercy of lunatic GQP state governments in 'bama and Tennessee. I helped prepare and file a petition with USFWS to list the Stippled Studfish, Fundulus bifas, for protection in east 'bama. It's on review praise Jah, maybe we're lucky

The Houthis are on a FTW, suicide commando tear. I'd guess they see no other course.

On plantations, slave women did most or all of the cooking. Most independent farms were too poor to have an indoor kitchen even if they wanted one. Either way the modern system would've been alien to them especially with larger extended families more common.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Bolton's usually not this loopy. I had a lot of friends in Berlin who were from the Fulda Gap area and went to American schools on a base there because American children so heavily outnumbered local Germans. It's an odd side effect of the American Imperium.

Alabama houses historically had outside kitchens, cooking indoors was both a fire hazard and too hot.

The Iran war is driving up energy prices. These companies are profiting. Fighting in the Middle East had limted the flow of oil and gas, bringing higher bills for consumers and windfalls for fossil fuel companies.

Sunlight travels 93 million miles to reach the earth None of them through the Strait of Hormuz

"A gallon of gasoline weighs about six pounds. When you burn it, the carbon atoms mix with oxygen atoms in the air to form about 19 pounds of carbon dioxide. The average American car driven the average American distance releases about its own weight in CO2 each year."

Yes, the Alabama legislature just recently passed a bill recognizing the Gulf of America, so everything is well taken care of. It’s part of the race to the bottom.

Across South America, canopy bridges evolve as a lifeline for tree-dwelling wildlife Throughout the Amazon Rainforest, forest fragmentation represents an escalating and existential threat to the preservation of fauna. Driven by intensive economic development, the expansion of…

Researchers in Brazil’s Amazon and Atlantic forests are using cameras on artificial canopy bridges to study how monkeys, sloths and other tree-dwelling mammals move through fragmented forests.

The findings could help design better wildlife crossings to reduce roadkill and habitat isolation.

Earth is now heating up twice as fast as in previous decades Since 2014, the planet has been warming by about 0.36Β°C per decade, according to an analysis of five temperature datasets, raising fears that climate tipping points could be crossed earlier than expected
