Two days ago an enormous cargo plane arrived in #Russia from #Iran.
So no surprise that recent nights of 3-6 drones suddenly became this:
32 Iranian attack drones shot down in the last 24 hours by #Ukraine. But it two managed to get through defences.

The high temperatures, clear skies, and slack winds are contributing to a widespread "moderate" air pollution event across eastern and central UK right now. 🧵#airquality #airpollution
Typical of heatwave conditions, urban background and rural monitors are detecting elevated surface #ozone pollution across Midlands, North West, N Wales, Yorkshire, Scottish Borders and Eastern regions.
What is interesting though, is that the "moderate" air pollution in #London and the south east is being driven mainly by enhanced particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5).

CORRECTION: The 5/29 edition of Pluralistic quoted $20k Rebyota; this was the rumored pre-release price; the actual average wholesale price is $10.8k. Thanks to Benjamin Jolley for catching this error, and to Stephen Skolnick for getting to the bottom of it.

1/4. In the aftermath of the tragedy that took #OurLondonFamily, we asked for policy changes to address #Islamophobia and hate in #Ontario and beyond.
2/4. Today, another step has been implemented towards positive change. We welcome the Government of Ontario's commitment towards the City of #London's Anti-Hate Response Pilot project.
3/4. We also thank the London Muslim Mosque for partnering on this initiative, which is a needed step in the right direction. We can all do more in the current fight against hate.
