We analyze the share of corn production in the U.S. going to animal feed. It's growing every year. The USDA should reconsider its mission statement "we are feeding the world" to "we are feeding the world's livestock."

Miles & miles of maize but 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 insect—in 2 days of 🚴‍♀️🚴in Brittany. Maize is mainly 🐄 feed. Linked to high pesticide use—and damaging soil erosion. Governments must be honest about the hidden costs of meat. @georgemonbiot.bsky.social warned about maize a decade ago 👇

Our criteria for success are disastrously skewed. In my view, a successful person is one who does more good than harm, on any scale. On this measure, most billionaires are massive failures, while humble folk in my neighbourhood who look after other people are highly successful.

The BBC cancelling Winterwatch is such a shame, especially when we need to be connecting with nature more than ever. If we want people to protect our wildlife, we have to show them it! Add your name to ask the BBC to reconsider. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

Tell the BBC: Save Winterwatch!

The UK is losing its wildlife, and shows like Winterwatch are vital for connecting us to nature. The BBC's decision to cancel it makes no sense. Let's ask them to rethink this! Add your name here:

Interview with martyred Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil talking about her life and work. Published 14 Jan. 2026. A beautiful story starting her birth in 1984 in Baysariyyeh. As a teen, she was always a writer and loved poetry. "Poetry softened me; it refined my sense of the world and how I write."

"A billionaire death cult has its fingers around humanity’s throat. It both causes and downplays our existential crisis. [...] It’s the billions [you and me] v the billionaires, and the stakes could not possibly be higher." Maybe *the* most important article you'll ever read.

While we are transfixed by the antics of our supposed "leaders", a catastrophe of astonishing proportions has been creeping up on us. Climate scientists now believe it is more likely than not to happen, and soon. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A “former Palantir executive recently confirmed what many have long suspected. In a public stmt, the whistleblower said it plainly: Palantir intended to take over the US government, & many of his former colleagues are now installed inside the federal apparatus. He called it an occupied nation.” 1/

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.
