Hold on, I'm shifting back into Earthspark mode.

I'm happy to see Luke Weaver back from the IL!! He's back much sooner than expected, which is great!! I'm glad that he's feeling better. Unfortunately, his first pitch was a home run for the Orioles. Now, we're down by one. It's the 8th inning so we have two more chances.

The change up grip...

Red alert in Antarctica: the year rapid, dramatic change hit climate scientists like a ‘punch in the guts’

Study after study showed the breakdown of climate systems taking place much earlier than foreseen, with potentially catastrophic results

Study after study showed the breakdown of climate systems taking place much earlier than foreseen, with potentially catastrophic results Morning is a construct in the Antarctic summer. It’s 7.30am and Nerilie Abram, a climate science professor at the Australian National University, is having breakfast at Casey station when she takes Guardian Australia’s call in late November. The sun barely kissed the horizon the night before, and won’t fall below it for weeks. Constant daylight can be famously discombobulating for first-time visitors to Antarctica, but for experienced researchers such as Abram, it is just the backdrop to life at the end of the Earth. This year, though, something else is deeply strange. When Abram was here a decade ago there was a mass of ice floating off the coast. It’s a vastly altered scene when she looks out the window now. “There’s no sea ice at all,” she says. “It’s a magnificent landscape. To think about what we’re doing to it and the changes that are happening here, it’s a punch in the guts.” That punch has winded scientists and policymakers across the planet this year. As the hottest year on record crawls to its finish line, they have been asking: is 2023 the year humanity put its stamp on Antarctica in ways that will be felt for centuries to come? The southern continent has suffered dramatic shifts that raise serious concerns about its immediate health. They have coincided with evidence that longer-term transformations linked to the climate crisis have started much sooner than it was assumed was likely. The changes have ramifications for local wildlife, but also for people across the globe in ways that are often less well understood.

sun queen au — amplifiers. 

rather than pausing in the middle of a battle to somehow find a way to wear mal’s bones, the act of taking his life gives alina a massive surge of power. that surge is just enough for her to cut down the d*rkling and set the fold’s destruction into motion before it fades, leaving her with the power of the first two amplifiers. 

she can’t bring herself to wear mal’s bones like some kind of trophy. where she’d once thirsted after the third amplifier, she now feels only sickness. instead, she puts his body to the pyre and sets him free like she was never able to in life.
