Summary

The U.S. beekeeping industry is experiencing unprecedented losses, with hundreds of millions of bees dying over the past eight months.

Blake Shook, a leading beekeeper, called it "the worst bee loss in recorded history."

Researchers remain uncertain about the cause, pointing to potential factors like habitat changes and weather patterns.

Beekeeping operations are struggling to survive, raising concerns about food security and the sustainability of crop production.

NASA's Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS) successfully demonstrated its ability to remove regolith, or lunar dust and dirt, from its various surfaces on the moon during Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost Mission 1, which concluded on March 16.

Lunar dust is extremely abrasive and electrostatic, which means it clings to anything that carries a charge. It can damage everything from spacesuits and hardware to human lungs, making lunar dust one of the most challenging features of living and working on the lunar surface.

I've been slowing building a kind of "tool box" for myself using Tampermonkey, that makes the LemmyUI do some stuff I wanted. I finally have it in a stable place and wanted to share it with everyone. You can see the repo above, or read below.

Reds-Lemmy-Tools

This is a userscript that can be used with Tampermonkey or other userscript plugins.

Features

This small utility adds the following features to the LemmyUI.

• External Community Highlight
• URL post "Quick Search" button in post feed
• Auto-Closes the Subscribed Communities sidebar.

External Community Highlight

Posts in the feed that are made in a federated community will be highlighted. I implemented this so I could distinguish local posts from remote posts in the feed. See the screenshot below for an example of what this looks like.

URL post "Quick Search" button in post feed

I also call this the "Combat Liberalism" button.

Posts that have an external URL as part of their post will have a 🔍 icon in the post's action button area. This button will open a new window to your instance's search page, searching on the post's URL. I implemented this because the "Cross Posting" feature of the UI is frankly strange. Instead of some explicit "Cross Posting" list, I would rather just see where else the post's URL has been posted across federated communities. So, this search button will show you exactly that. This way you can find out where else this conversation is happening, and engage with or read other comments on the topic.

Auto-closes the Subscribed Communities sidebar

This one does what it says on the tin. My subscribed communities list is massive, and it stretches on forever, it feels like. This simply clicks that minimize box for me when the page loads.

New piece out in @foreignaffairs.com by @marksbell.bsky.social and me.

We argue that as the USA pulls back from Europe, including its nuclear arsenal, European leaders face a nuclear trilemma.

In short, European elites aim to uphold three objectives: credible and effective deterrence against Russia, nuclear nonproliferation, and strategic stability (understood as low incentives for nuclear first use).

But without the U.S. nuclear arsenal, choosing any two makes the third impossible.

This means Europe faces unavoidable trade-offs in the years ahead.

In navigating this trilemma, we argue that Europe should choose credible and effective deterrence against Russia and nuclear nonproliferation.

We are aware that reneging on strategic stability and accepting a degree of strategic instability in Europe-Russian relations entails assuming genuine nuclear risks.

The alternatives, however, would be even more dangerous.

My husband doesn’t belong to 50501 and he is skeptical of the news being censored, can anone help me show him otherwise.

It's been raining and below freezing for the last 18 hours or so. It's supposed to stay this way for another day too.

During his 10-day visit, Halevi advocated for reducing U.S. military aid, arguing that such assistance portrays Israel as weak and overly dependent. He met with Heritage leadership accompanied by Gideon Israel, head of the Jerusalem-Washington Center, an organization that advises Republican lawmakers on Israel policy.​

While Democratic-aligned pro-Israel groups like DMFI have vocally opposed the Heritage Foundation’s report, Republican-aligned elements of the Israel Lobby have remained notably silent. This silence suggests a potential divide centered around Netanyahu’s leadership, with some Israeli conservatives, including Halevi, acknowledging that overreliance on U.S. aid may harm Israel’s global image.​

It would be a lot more effective on getting you to tell secrets.

The evidence is clear: fossil fuels are driving a multitude of crises. That's the takeaway message from a new sweeping review from top scientists.
