Slipknot percussionist Clown shares his excitement for the band's upcoming releases

Senate Democrats have reportedly canceled a meeting this week where they planned to discuss asking President Joe Biden to leave the presidential race following his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump. The effort was being led by Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA), who told other Democrat senators last week that Biden could no longer be the party’s nominee, The Washington Post reported. Warner has conveyed that he is “deeply concerned” about Biden’s ability to campaign competently and that the meeting was intended to determine the best way for the senators to present their message to the president. Axios reported that the meeting, which was supposed to happen on Monday, was canceled after it was leaked, and the planned conversation could no longer remain private. CNN later confirmed Axios’ reporting on Sunday. NEW: A source familiar with Sen. @MarkWarner thinking says the private meeting he was trying to organize for tomorrow with other Senators to discuss a path forward for Biden’s candidacy is scrapped — after it was leaked to the media, including @CNN, this week. — Pamela Brown (@PamelaBrownCNN) July 7, 2024 Warner aimed to have the meeting before the Senate Democrats’ weekly caucus meeting on Tuesday, reports suggested. While no Democrat senators have publicly called on Biden to drop out of the race, few have shown public support for him following his disastrous debate. One of the only Democrat senators to support Biden is Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), who has posted several times on social media expressing his support for the 81-year-old, who 80% of the country says is too old to run for president, according to a recent Wall Street Journal poll. “I’m unwilling to discard a great president, a decent man and a loving father after 50 years in public service, over a 90 minute debate,” Fetterman said. “Responding with disorder, panic and disloyalty is not meeting this moment.” In a separate post, he wrote: “Like I just said on @CNN with @jimsciutto , Democrats need to get a spine or grow a set—one or the other. Joe Biden is our guy.”

When this woman missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime gorilla-watching opportunity in Rwanda, her tour guide decided to start sending her photos to help cheer her up. This incident occurred two years ago, but Nicole Griffin, aka Nikki, still receives texts from her friend, Janvier. She shared the sweetest video on social media about his lovely messages, which often contain pictures and videos of local gorillas. Did we mention that Janvier is the one who rescued Nikki when she couldn’t finish the rigorous hike? In her video, the woman explained that she had a horrific asthma attack during a six-hour hike in Rwanda. According to her, the man actually carried her back to the foot of the mountain on his back! Although Nikki was devastated that she didn’t get to see a single gorilla on the tour, her newfound friend started keeping her updated with photos. Now, she gets to see amazing footage of these animals all the time! @nikkigriffz UPDATE: GoFundMe LINK IN BIO! Shout out to Jamvier for rescuing me and also providing me with my own personal Planet Earth episodes! I cried so much that the red dirt/dust I was breathing it turned into red snot all over my face and my white shirt and when I finally got to the bottom a nice woman looked at me in horror and cleaned me up in her wash basin. The Rwandan people showed me so much kindness and love. #rwanda #gorilla #rescue #Hiking #africa ♬ BIRDS OF A FEATHER – Billie Eilish Nikki also shared some of the videos that Janvier had sent her. One of them was an adorable clip of him saying hello with a gorilla in the background. Another showed a gorilla walking around on all fours. This woman is still very grateful to the man who rescued her during her asthma attack! She even set up a GoFundMe to help him support his family, where she described the terrifying mountain incident in more detail. The tour guide who sends Nikki gorilla photos also saved her life! “I started having an asthma attack and I couldn’t breathe due to still recovering from a very severe acute case of COVID-19 a month prior,” she recalled. “I have never had issues hiking or breathing before so this was a shock to me as I found it more and more difficult to walk and eventually ended up crying and gasping for air on the ground.” Nikki continued, “Janvier came to my rescue and kindly offered to help me down the mountain, as we were already 2 hours into the 6-hour hike. He grabbed all my gear, along with me, and carried me down that mountain for 2 hours.” Screengrab from TikTok It’s amazing that, even after two years, Nikki and Janvier are still messaging each other. Although she may have missed out on seeing gorillas in person, she did make a lifelong friend in the tour guide who saved her life (and sends her awesome nature photos)!

At the Univ. of Delaware, materials engineers have devised a chemical recycling method to separate artificial fibers like nylon from natural ones like cotton, promising a potentially breakthrough way to recycle clothing. The fashion and textile industries account for around 10% of all world landfill waste, much of which isn’t recyclable.

Irresistible Force Meets Immovable Object

By 2100, more than 75 million people are likely to be living in places where the groundwater is too hot to drink, according to a new study. Groundwater temperatures are forecast to rise by up to 3.5°C (6.3°F) by the end of the century, which would mean they exceed the highest threshold set for drinking water by any country.Groundwater is crucial for life on Earth, and yet relatively little is known about how it responds to climate change over space and time. What we do know is that as things get hotter, it will act as a heat sink, absorbing excess heat caused by global warming.To work out what this might look like, researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have modeled projected changes in global groundwater temperatures through to 2100. Basing their projections on two climate scenarios, SSP 2–4.5 and SSP 5–8.5, which reflect different socioeconomic development pathways and future greenhouse gas concentrations, they have determined that groundwater temperatures will rise by 2.1°C (3.8°F) or 3.5°C (6.3°F), depending on the scenario.Some parts of the world will feel this spike more acutely, explained study author Dr Susanne Benz, from the Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing at KIT, in a statement: “[T]he world's highest groundwater warming rates can be expected at locations with a shallow groundwater table and/or high atmospheric warming."What this means, is that for millions of people worldwide, groundwater will become undrinkable."There are already about 30 million people living in regions where the groundwater is warmer than stipulated in the strictest drinking water guidelines,” said Benz. “That means it may not be safe to drink the water there without treatment. It may need to be boiled first, for example. The drinking water also gets warmed up in water pipes by heat in the ground. Depending on the scenario, as many as several hundred million people could be affected by 2100."In fact, the research suggests that in the next 76 years, between 77 to 188 million people could be affected as per SSP 2–4.5, and 59 to 588 million under SSP 5–8.5.In case you’re wondering what’s wrong with a little warm water, let us explain. Groundwater’s temperature influences a suite of biogeochemical processes that in turn impact its quality. For example, "under certain conditions, rising groundwater temperatures can lead to increasing concentrations of harmful substances like arsenic or manganese. These higher concentrations can have a negative impact on human health, especially when groundwater is used as drinking water," Benz explained. It can also facilitate the growth of pathogens such as Legionella spp, and affects ecosystems, biodiversity, and carbon and nutrient cycles. All in all, it’s not great news for us or the other organisms that rely on groundwater systems."Our results show how important it is to take action to protect groundwater and find lasting solutions to counteract the negative impact of climate change on groundwater," Benz concluded.The study is published in Nature Geoscience.
