This is an incredible image of the skies above New Zealand.
Both beautiful and a little chilling.
Astrophotographer and teacher Brendan Larsen spent 2 hours taking 578 photos of one section of the sky above Mt Taranaki to see how satellites are changing our night skies.

Specifically a “Litter Intelligence” program developed by the team at Sustainable Coastlines in New Zealand are doing wonderful work in this area.

So proud of cuz @samjuddnz for the amazing work on this space, which is shockingly not available on X, but it’s a very large movement that’s happening throughout the South Pacific, much being led by New Zealand Māori.
Very beautiful to watch.

What this means in theory is nice, but in terms of changing people’s mindset, and measuring the a living earth policy framework against measurable environmental health, social an health literacy indicators , it’s my understanding the data doesn’t show much positive impact on its own.
What the research shows is that by combining community lead citizen, science full scale, holistic regenerative health, and education programs, we can create measurable ecological impact, in addition to increasing positive results on mental physical and social health indicators.

Slack of education, awareness, and understanding. Developing a new framework that acknowledges the Earth is a living breathing organism helps, but falls short as when providing tangible data driven impact on environmental factors.
There’s a growing movement around, giving living rights to the Earth.
New Zealand was the first country to do so granting a river, a mountain in a stream a set of living rights based around a Māori framework of environmental policy.
The Ganges river was next.

Remember when they said to “Trust the science?”
Artificial intelligence finds that a quarter million cancer research papers have been faked
A 2026 study trained an AI on 2,202 cancer papers that had been identified as fake. It then applied this model to look into 2.65 million original cancer research papers published between 1999 and 2024. It flagged 261,245 papers as fake
- Over 178,000 flagged papers had Chinese institutional affiliations
- Roughly 36% of Chinese cancer research output in the dataset
- Iran was next at around 20%
This is a major problem because this can mean the medical community amplifies completely fake research and findings
“Every fabricated study sitting in a real journal is competing for attention with studies actually pointing towards a legit cure, which means the more fake noise there is, the longer it takes for the real breakthroughs to surface. And somewhere in that pile, maybe a real cure is buried under a fake AI-generated one.”
No doctors have gone to jail for this (I checked)

(1/7) Low-producing oil and gas wells leak methane that warms the planet and release toxic pollutants like benzene and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
These high-polluting wells make us sick. They release toxic chemicals into our air, water and land that are linked to asthma, heart disease, and poor air quality.
Communities deserve clean air, not more pollution. #CutMethane

Everything moves in cycles of life, death, regeneration, and regrowth.
We are emerging from a death cycle. The good news is - a new dawn is on the horizon.

The word that comes to mind most is totipotency. Or, if you prefer the French,
totipotentialité.
The other thing too, I try to avoid the word sustainability these days as it suggests a status-quo, and we way beyond this. Regenerative is a good describer word but I’m a bit bored with it. I think it’s then overused with people throwing it around all over the place… regenerative this…. regenerative that. It’s almost become a fashion statement.
I think we need new words for what is needed in terms of solutions.
I’ve got some ideas for this, which I think I might start writing about as well… 😏
