It’s the war that should have been at all costs avoided. It will create a whole new generation of sophisticated jihadis at work in every country possible. In the meantime, our country, our compassion, experience, and our brain trust swelters in the killing heat of reactionary ignorance. Not good.

Major federal buildings for sale in DC. Go to the GSA website. Go to list of “non-core properties for sale.” FBI building…Dept of Ag…and properties elsewhere.

If you live in or work to protect the Adirondack Park of upstate NY (6 million acres of public and private protected land and water) it's probably of interest....🌎

Seriously? Oh yeah right. We’re here, now. I keep hoping for some leveling off, some sanity, some vague chance I can keep my little piece of the conservation and ecosystem health fight strong. That means staying healthy…all of us…sheesh.
The FDA vaccine committee meeting that was supposed to discuss how to update next season's flu vaccine was abruptly cancelled today. It’s a key step to allow influenza vaccine manufacturers sufficient time to prepare updated shots for the next season. No explanation was provided.

Just some unadulterated beauty and hope. Clean cold water, rich habitat for native species, geomorphically stable paradise. East Branch Ausable River tributary, Adirondack Park. 🌎

This….imagine this. There’s a lot of this out there. Is this lack of respect for life at the root of it all?
1 yr after a WY man shocked the world by running over a wolf in his snowmobile, carrying her into a rural bar and letting friends snap selfies with her before killing her, state lawmakers are still refusing to ban "whacking" outright.

A majority of WY residents want to ban the practice.
Should Wyoming still permit 'whacking' after man paraded wounded wolf through local bar?
Under existing state law, it's legal to run down predators like coyotes and wolves in most of Wyoming. Legislators are considering a change.

I like it here but there are some accounts that act as left-wing hysteria mongers in a way that reminds me of how big right wing influencers on x whip up their bases

remember: a good journalist will make it clear how they source claims

Overwhelmed by a blast of brutality today. Men claiming sport is slaughtering dozens of wolves in days and waiting to kill more, legally. A quiet band of wild horses rounded up, broken up, beaten for no reason…I don’t understand how people brutalize people, places, animals. Shakes me to the core.

Bonhoeffer: “Against stupidity we are defenseless.” Because stupid actions do not make sense, they invariably come as a surprise. Reasonable arguments fall on deaf ears. Counter-evidence is brushed aside. Facts are deemed irrelevant.” And…

Bonhoeffer continues, “In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack.”

As 2025 begins, so does the year’s first full moon, which also marks the last of four consecutive supermoons, according to NASA. Known as the “wolf moon,” it gets its name from the idea that wolves howl during January’s long, cold nights.

This lunar phase is particularly eventful, with the moon briefly covering Mars in a rare occultation. Later in the week, the red planet will shine brightly, claiming its own moment in the spotlight.
