Wonderfully wet and wild.
Make up all the bug hotels and bird boxes you want, but without way more healthy wild natural habitats like this, nature will continue to crash.
Rewilding is how we make that happen.

Sonme heavy, light relief from the Nerve www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...
Stewart Lee: From Charlie Kirk to CCHQ, the right has realised they can lie and get away with it. So let’s stop them
Is the problem with modern politics that voters are stupid, or is it that no one pushes back against the populist sideshow acts that mislead them? And is it wrong to think the government should act?

Gold, Greed and Cowardice
Trump's corporate and billionaire supporters are emboldening him as he pursues his path of destruction. History proves the future does not bode well for them.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target
