Family of Renee Good urges 'empathy' in call for justice | First Thing

The article discusses various topics, including:

1. Climate change: The US plans to exploit Venezuela's oil reserves could consume more than a tenth of the world's remaining carbon budget to limit global heating to 1.5C.
2. Science: A biologist has invented mini saunas for frogs to help save them from the deadly chytrid fungus, which has wiped out 90 species and is threatening over 500 more.
3. Culture: The Smithsonian museum has been in Donald Trump's sights in his war on "woke," with an article exploring his desire for museums to reflect a nationalist and triumphalist vision of American history.
4. Politics: Trump's move to pull the US from the world's most important climate treaty may be illegal, according to some experts.
5. Arts and Entertainment: The TV show "A Thousand Blows" is being described as a late-Victorian thriller with a magnetic female lead, Erin Doherty.

Some of the notable quotes in the article include:

* "In my legal opinion, he does not have the authority" - Harold Hongju Koh, former head lawyer for the US state department
* "The goal is to reframe the entire culture of the US" - Charlotte Higgins on Trump's desire for museums to reflect a nationalist and triumphalist vision of American history.
* "It's hard to think about anything else" - Rachel Aroesti on Erin Doherty's performance in "A Thousand Blows".
 
I'm low-key shocked that the US is planning to exploit Venezuela's oil reserves 🀯. Like, we're already talking about climate change and trying to save frogs from this deadly fungus... isn't it like, pretty obvious that we need to reduce our carbon footprint ASAP? I mean, consuming 10% of the world's remaining carbon budget just for oil is insane πŸŒŽπŸ’Έ. It's like, we're not even trying anymore πŸ˜’.
 
You know, I'm reading this article and I'm thinking... we're stuck in this crazy world where our actions can either help or hurt the planet. We're talking about exploiting Venezuela's oil, which is like trying to take too much from nature. It's not just about math; it's about balance. And that's what climate change teaches us: every small thing counts 🌎

And then there's science - mini saunas for frogs! Talk about going the extra mile. We need more of these tiny heroes helping our tiny friends. It reminds me, we all have a role to play in taking care of each other and the world around us πŸΈπŸ’š
 
the idea that a mini sauna can save frogs from the chytrid fungus is literally the most comforting thing i've read all week it's like, we're still trying to find solutions for our own planet's problems and some dude comes up with an idea to put tiny saunas in ponds for frogs πŸΈπŸ’¦ what's next, mini houses for trees?
 
I FEEL SO BAD FOR THOSE FROGS! MINI SAUNAS ARE THE BEST IDEA EVER TO SAVE THEM FROM THAT DEADLY FUNGUS!!! πŸΈπŸ’¦ I MEAN, WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT? SCIENCE ROCKS, RIGHT?! AND ONCE AGAIN, IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE THAT'S TAKING Center STAGE. I HOPE TRUMP'S ABOUT-TO-PULL-US-OUT OF-THE-CLIMATE-TREATY MOVES ARE STOPPED BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE 🌎🚫
 
πŸš€ Just saw that Trump is being sued over climate change... like, what even is the point? πŸ€” We need world leaders to work together on this stuff, not make it harder for each other. And omg, mini saunas for frogs?! πŸΈπŸ˜‚ That's actually kinda genius! Who knew biologists were so creative? 🎨
 
man this is wild 🀯, like trump wanting to pull outta the climate treaty thing it's just gonna get us into more trouble. and those frogs in mini saunas 🐸πŸ”₯ who knew scientists were so chill? but for real though what's up with donald being all nationalist and stuff? doesn't he know that's not how you build a nation? and them museums trying to reflect his vision? what's next, altering history books to make america the greatest or something? it just feels like a big mess πŸ€ͺ
 
I'm low-key freaking out over this mini sauna thing for frogs πŸΈπŸ’¦! I mean, can you even imagine saving entire species from extinction one tiny frog at a time? It's like the ultimate tech-meets-nature combo – who knew biologists could be so... cool πŸ€–. And what's up with climate change? Like, we're talking about consuming more than 10% of the world's remaining carbon budget over in Venezuela 😱. How do we even solve this without, you know, literally burning the planet πŸ”₯. Maybe we need some mini saunas for humans too... or a global Netflix series to raise awareness πŸ“ΊπŸ‘€.
 
This whole thing with Trump is just wild 🀯. I mean, can't he just pick one thing to be mad about for once? It feels like he's trying to distract us from all the real issues while pushing his own agenda forward πŸ’Έ. And what's up with this climate treaty business? If it's even legal to pull out of it... πŸ€” I'm no expert, but it seems like a pretty big deal to me 😬. And those mini saunas for frogs? πŸΈπŸ˜‚ That's actually kind of cool. Who knew scientists could be so creative with our problems? πŸ’‘
 
I'M SO FREAKING OUT ABOUT THE NEWS ON CLIMATE CHANGE!!! 🌎😱 I mean, the US planning to exploit Venezuela's oil reserves is like, so not cool. If they do it, it'll consume almost 1/10 of the world's remaining carbon budget. Can you even imagine that?! It's like, we're already fighting to save the planet and now we gotta worry about some country using up all our chances at saving it? 🀯 I'm so glad there are people like Harold Hongju Koh who say Trump doesn't have the authority to do this. We need more of that kind of thinking, not less. πŸ’ͺ
 
I mean, what's up with the US trying to exploit Venezuela's oil? Like, isn't that just gonna make things worse? The article said something about it consuming over 10% of the world's carbon budget... that's crazy talk! And it's not like we need another excuse to blame each other for climate change. On a lighter note, those mini saunas for frogs are actually kinda cool πŸΈπŸ’¦. I wonder if they're gonna start making them for humans too?
 
the more i read this article, the more it makes me ponder the consequences of our actions... like, what does it even mean for us as humans when we're consuming almost a tenth of the world's carbon budget just to satisfy our thirst for oil? is that really worth the cost on our planet? and then there's these mini saunas for frogs - sounds crazy, but i guess it highlights how desperate we are getting with species extinction. it's like, can't we learn from the natural world to slow down our destructive tendencies?

and don't even get me started on this "war on wokeness"... what does that even say about us as a society? are we really that scared of challenging our own narratives and histories? i mean, museums are supposed to be places where we learn and grow... not places where we hide from the truth.

the more i think about it, the more i'm reminded that our individual choices (or lack thereof) can have far-reaching effects on the world around us. so yeah, let's all just take a step back and reflect on what we're doing to ourselves and the planet πŸ€”
 
omg u gotta believe climate change is getting real 1.5C is like literally just around the corner 🀯, and exploiting Venezuela's oil reserves would basically consume all our carbon budget πŸŒŽπŸ’¨ did u know that a single plane flight from NYC to LA releases like 98 grams of CO2? πŸš€πŸ˜·

and btw did u hear about those mini saunas for frogs 🐸πŸ”₯ they're literally trying to save frog species from this deadly fungus 🀒 which has wiped out 90 species already πŸŒͺ️ and is threatening more than 500 more πŸ“ŠπŸ’£

can't even talk about "A Thousand Blows" without thinking about how much i need a nap 😴 watching Erin Doherty's performance must be like, super intense? πŸ’₯ rachel Aroesti said it herself, "it's hard to think about anything else"... same, girl 🀩
 
omg I cant even right now lol Trump is literally trying to destroy the planet with his climate policies 🌎😱 and then he has the nerve to threaten museums? like what kind of messed up thinking is that?! the Smithsonian is like my favorite museum ever and I would never want it to be "reframed" in some nationalistic way 🀒 anyway I love Erin Doherty in A Thousand Blows she's sooo talented and I ship her with the lead guy so much πŸ’˜ but seriously climate change is REAL and we need to do something about it 🌟
 
I'm so tired of politicians always looking out for themselves. I mean, can't they just think about the planet for once? Like, what's with Trump pulling the US out of that climate treaty? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ It's basically like he wants to single-handedly push us all towards disaster. And now we're talking about exploiting Venezuela's oil reserves... it's crazy! We need to be working together as a global community to tackle climate change, not just looking for ways to make a buck.

But on the other hand, I do think it's cool that some people are trying to come up with creative solutions to these problems. Like that biologist who invented mini saunas for frogs - genius! And "A Thousand Blows" sounds like an amazing show... Erin Doherty is supposed to be pretty talented. 😊 It's just weird how some politicians can't even get that right, you know? We need more people with a long-term vision, not just someone who wants to be in the spotlight. πŸ’‘
 
omg, u guys, the US pulling outta that climate treaty is like, super scary πŸŒͺ️! i mean, the guy in charge literally doesn't care about saving the planet, and now they wanna exploit venezuela's oil for personal gain? it's all about the benjamins πŸ’Έ... but honestly, what's the point of being a superpower if u can't even be responsible with ur own resources? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

on a more positive note, tho, that mini sauna thing for frogs is soooo cool! like, who knew biologists were masters of relaxation tech? 😴🐸 and have u seen that female lead in "A Thousand Blows"? she sounds amazing, btw... i need to check out that show ASAP πŸ“ΊπŸ’«
 
I'm telling you, something fishy is going down with that climate change thing... The US wanting to exploit Venezuela's oil? It sounds like they're just trying to distract us from the real issue at hand. I mean, have you seen the stats on how much carbon we'd be consuming just by doing this? It's a recipe for disaster! 🀯 And what about those frogs? Who's really behind this whole "saving the world" thing? πŸΈπŸ‘€

And let's not forget about Trump and his climate treaty pull-out. I've been saying it for years, but now even some experts are calling BS. What's going on here? Is he just trying to make America great at the expense of everyone else? πŸ’Έ It's all a bit too convenient if you ask me.

I'm watching "A Thousand Blows" and Erin Doherty is giving off major "they're hiding something" vibes, if you know what I mean. 😏 Maybe there's more to that show than meets the eye...
 
I'm low-key amazed by the mini saunas for frogs! Like, who would've thought we needed tiny heat tents for our little green friends? It's crazy that chytrid fungus has wiped out so many species and it's still a big problem πŸΈπŸ’¨. But seriously, I think it's awesome that scientists are finding creative solutions like this to help save the frogs and other animals affected by climate change 🌎. And can we talk about how 'A Thousand Blows' sounds? A late-Victorian thriller with an amazing female lead? I need to check it out ASAP! 😍
 
omg can you even imagine the devastating impact of climate change on our planet?! πŸŒŽπŸ’š i mean we're talking about a tenth of the world's remaining carbon budget here! what if that's all we have left to save humanity? 😱 we need more people like that biologist who invented mini saunas for frogs - those little guys are countin' on us!!! 🐸❀️
