Ocean waters are aging? What?
Yes: we oceanographers call 'age' the time since deep ocean water was last in touch with the atmosphere. It is a measure of 'ventilation', deep vertical overturning of the ocean.
Data show this process is slowing: #AMOC slowdown.
That is bad news for climate, and there is a serious risk of the AMOC crossing a tipping point in the next few decades towards an unstoppable shutdown. One of the worst-case climate change nightmares.

Notice the NYT's framing here: a near "disaster" means that the aggressors almost didn't succeed in their invasion. (That they did end up succeeding was of course a disaster for the 80 people they killed.)

Let's ask the real question:

Firefox users,

do you want any AI directly built into Firefox, or separated out into extensions?

@firefoxwebdevs
@davidgerard
@tante

@firefoxwebdevs Where's the option for "I do not want this bullshit toy anywhere near my browser"? Is someone forcing you at gunpoint to be pro-slop? Why are all the executives so into this crap? Can't we just let them have their cocaine daydreams without subject the rest of us to it?

Someone I know was killed in the strikes on Venezuela. I was on call with them, and others have just confirmed they're dead.

I think I'm going to check out for a while.
