I never thought I would say this... but...America needs to build a big border wall and stay inside. The world doesn't need your stupid wars, your crazy politics, your obsession with money, and we certainly don't need your stupid abusive leader ruining everything from the World Cup to global trade.
The greatest gift we can leave future generations isn’t money it’s a healthy planet. Protect forests today, so life can thrive tomorrow. There is no Planet B.
Did you know molasses can be deadly? On January 15, 1919, a storage tank containing 2.3M gallons of molasses burst. The resulting wave of molasses, 25 ft high and travelling at 35 mph at its peak, rushed through the streets of Boston, killing 21 people and injuring another 150.
Determining sex is not simple. The lab test used for European Cup track & field competition in Kyiv in 1967 banned champion Polish sprinter Ewa Kłobukowska for not being female, despite passing the anatomical sex test a year before. A year later in 1968 she became pregnant and gave birth to a son.
Kathleen Bachynski@bachynski.bsky.social · 2w agoThe scientist who identified this gene in the first place calls this profoundly misguided. “Using SRY to establish biological sex is wrong because all it tells you is whether or not the gene is present. It does not tell you…whether testosterone is produced &if so, whether it can be used by the body”
Such a beautiful voice. So many iconic songs. Happy Birthday Linda.

Somewhere today, a tiny heart keeps beating because someone chose compassion over convenience. May we never stop being that someone.
Before the World Cup, I had never heard of Cape Verde. After the World Cup, I will never forget it.
The USA only has a small window of opportunity to remove Trump from office. If he dies in office as President, never being held accountable for his many crimes, the country will never recover. Its democracy will never recover. The rule of law will never recover. Its reputation will never recover.
May you never be the reason why someone who loved to sing, doesn't anymore. Or why someone who dressed so uniquely, now wears plain clothing. Or why someone who always spoke so excitedly about their dreams, is now silent about them. Quote by Sharouk Mustafa Ibrahim
I'm with Carl. How about we change Bush's statement to "We must balance economic concerns with environmental realities.", unless of course someone has found another planet we can live on.

Most of the world is ruled by people who only care about monetising nature. They do not realise or care that we are part of it. Future generations will pay for this folly, and it may be sooner than we think given the rapacious greed of the current ruling classes. Man does not live by man alone.
@whattheactualf.bsky.social · 2mo agoI call it destroying our planet.
Donald Trump has done a lot of terrible things to this country over the last decade. But here’s what I think is most insidious of all: Trump has taught Americans that cruelty is strength, that resentment is identity, and that hating other people somehow makes you superior.
So Trump and his felonious family will never pay tax and get huge refunds based on whatever lies they tell...and no one can ever check if it's true or rein it in? What an absolute farce. The USA is rapidly becoming a failed state run by a crime family.
California Dreamin’… 😎@jerasikehorn.bsky.social · 3mo agoJust so EVERYONE knows, part of the deal Trump just made with the treasury department - neither he nor any of his family can EVER BE AUDITED… Grifter of the year!! 🥇
Imagine you're shrunk down to amoeba size & could observe a tiny plant root under the soil. The first thing you might notice is that the root isn't all plant cells. Both inside & outside the root are symbiotic fungal cells (grey in photo) in close association, working together. (🔬:Eye of Science)
And small independent bookstores are even better!

It was entirely predictable. He was a conman and thief before he entered politics. Giving him the power of the presidency just removed any guard rails. Trump’s “presidency” is the biggest con in history. Half the country fell for it and over a third still haven’t figured it out yet. Gullible fools.

He’s Just Taking It "while you were watching an illegal war burn through a billion dollars a day and TSA workers suffered because Congress couldn’t find the money to pay them, Trump was doing something quieter.

It's only worth going back to the Moon if it makes us look properly again at Earth, and appreciate how beautiful, precious and fragile what we have here is. The most famous images from Apollo aren't about the Moon - they're pictures of Earth. We need to stop taking our home for granted.
It’s a very different experience for Canadians watching Trump with some perspective. This is not like term 1. That man has dementia and Americans appear to be in a state of paralysis while they let the mad King fuck the world over. No one will ever forgive this.
