#Total #Immunity Chief Justice John Roberts described the #ruleoflaw as #endangered and warned against “trashing the #justices." “The notion that rule of law governs is the basic proposition,” Roberts said during appearance at Georgetown Law. “Certainly as a matter of theory, but also as a matter of practice, we need to stop and reflect every now and then how rare that is, certainly rare throughout history, and rare in the world today.” #OpusDei has regrets, nah. #trump politico.com/news/2025/05/12/c

These Lifelike Paper Portraits Shine a Light on Endangered Parrots via My Modern Met [Shared]

Parrots are known for being cheerful and colorful birds with a chatty side. To spotlight these beautiful birds and the many visually arresting hues they come in, Nayan Shrimal and Venus Bird from The Paper Ark have launched The Parrot Project, in which they create lifelike paper portraits in their likeness for a good cause.

The image features a detailed, handcrafted illustration of two black cockatoos perched on a branch. The cockatoos have black feathers with yellow speckles on their heads and bright red markings on their tails. One cockatoo is holding a small red object in its beak, while the other looks on. The branch is adorned with green leaves and small buds, and two butterflies are present, one on a leaf and another near the branch. The background is a plain, light color, emphasizing the intricate details of the illustration. A hand is visible in the lower right corner, holding the branch, showcasing the miniature size of the artwork. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

NatureExposure of larval pinto abalone to ocean acidification and warming negatively impacts survival, settlement, and size - Scientific ReportsPinto abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana), the only abalone species native to Washington, declined by 97% in the state from 1992 to 2017. Their decline is a loss for indigenous tribes, recreational divers, and the health of subtidal rocky reefs and kelp beds. Current restoration actions are facing threats of ocean acidification and warming in the northeast Pacific. This research aims to deepen our understanding of the tolerance and physiological flexibility of early life history stages of pinto abalone and inform hatchery practices under future climate change scenarios. We conducted an experiment to test how seawater pH and temperature stress impact abalone larvae. We exposed abalone post-fertilization to elevated temperature and reduced seawater pH for ten days spanning their larval development period: (1) 7.95pH/14°C (ambient), (2) 7.60pH/14°C, (3) 7.95pH/18°C, and (4) 7.60pH/18°C. Abalone in the ambient treatment had the best survival, those in the 7.60pH/18°C treatment had the worst survival, and those in the two single-stressor treatments had survival in between. Among the surviving larvae, pH was the dominant stressor influencing settlement success, with higher settlement rates under ambient pH treatments at both temperatures. pH also had a stronger effect than temperature on shell length. The information gleaned from this study is essential for optimizing future restoration aquaculture for pinto abalone and determining their ideal habitat and potential geographic range.

To anyone interested, this is a comment form about the recent proposition about changing the definition of “harm” in the endangered species act… an acquaintance of mine shared this with me… I think it’s only 10 days left to comment, so please share with anyone you know or is interested 🩷🌎🩷
