Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.

Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. -

Probably worth a bit more attention than it is receiving.

“With the ongoing bleaching it’s almost overwhelming the capacity of people to do the monitoring they need to do...that this most recent, global-scale coral bleaching event is still ongoing takes the world’s reefs into uncharted waters."
More than 80% of the world’s reefs hit by bleaching after worst global event on record
An ashen pallor and an eerie stillness all that remains where there should be fluttering fish and vibrant colours in the reefscape, one conservationist says

Ed Martin appeared on Russian state television some 150 times. Gladly contributing to Russian propaganda efforts should end his nomination to be a U.S. attorney, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I asked Chat GPT to tell me the equivalent of Musk giving away 1 million dollars.
“So, giving away $1 million for Elon Musk is like a person earning $100,000 giving away 50 cents.”

.50 f’n cents. He dropped $12.50 on this election. Sick and disgusting how rich he is.
