A Surprising Discovery Inside Fish Could Change What We Know About the Ocean
https://scitechdaily.com/a-surprising-discovery-inside-fish-could-change-what-we-know-about-the-ocean/

I've eaten at a lot of fish and chips places in England and Wales, and around the US. In the UK I like plaice, a kind of fish we don't get here on the west coast of the US.
For some reason, I believe that fish and chips are best consumed outside when the weather is nice, even a bit warm.
My favorite two fish and chips places are:
Scrumptious Fish and Chips - A food truck here in the Santa Cruz area. Their rockfish is especially good.
And the Sea Pal Cove in …

Scrumptious Fish & Chips is a mobile food trailer that serves authentic British style scatch-made fish & chips in the Santa Cruz CA community.

Despite being one of the ocean’s most extraordinary creatures, very little research has been carried out on sawfish in Sri Lanka. This gap in knowledge […]

Hidden antibiotics in river fish spark new food safety fears
Antibiotics are accumulating in a major Brazilian river, especially during the dry season when pollution becomes more concentrated. Scientists even detected a banned drug inside fish sold for food, raising concerns about human exposure. A common aquatic plant showed promise in removing these chemicals from water—but it also altered how fish absorb them, creating unexpected risks.

Arctic Ocean passed a tipping point and scientists say it may never recover
The Arctic Ocean may have crossed a dangerous tipping point. Scientists say the rapid disappearance of sea ice is triggering a hidden chemical shift that is stripping the ocean of nitrate — a nutrient essential for the tiny plankton that support Arctic life. As nitrate levels plunge, the entire food web could feel the impact, from fish and seabirds to whales and polar ecosystems.

Snow flies produce bursts of heat and proteins to avoid freezing, new study finds

They discovered this snow-dwelling fly uses a surprising combination of strategies: it generates its own body heat like a mammal and produces antifreeze proteins like an Arctic fish.

Collectively owning property is difficult because the law is not set up for that, but a church provides a clear legal framework to do so. Prisoners can be cut off from political literature, but the first amendment protects religious literature (which is why Nazis started a church to get Nazi shit inside of prisons... but that's a whole other story). While these legal protections are definitely not guaranteed (we all know how many fucks the state gives about the law), it is both easy to hide in the noise (there are a *lot* of churches) and to hide in other ways. After all, the ichthys (Jesus fish) was an appropriated pagan symbol.
And there is also still value in peeling off other religious groups by showing them that they are also in danger. "When your enemy is strong, divide them," after all.

Scientists warn that the world’s rivers are running out of oxygen
Rivers around the world are quietly running out of oxygen — and climate change is emerging as the main culprit. A sweeping global analysis of more than 21,000 river systems found that nearly 80% have been steadily losing dissolved oxygen over the past four decades, threatening fish, biodiversity, and the overall health of freshwater ecosystems. Surprisingly, tropical rivers are being hit the hardest, even more than rivers in rapidly warming polar regions.
