Interested in science, especially physics, evolutionary biology, psychology. Hunting fungi mostly not to eat them, a bit of an amateur mycologist. Chess noob. From Czechia.
Peter Hadfield aka potholer54 does such a great job in exposing all those dishonest preachers whether it's creationists or climate change denialists. Some of them deny the climate change less nowadays pretty much in line with Humphrey's 4 stage strategy.

Cuphophyllus russocoriaceus (Cedarwood waxcap) smelling strongly of cedar. Locally redlisted in Czechia as EN (although probably not that rare on endangered, still one of the "better" waxcaps here). 2nd locality for me.

Not sure what's that (there is one thing that came to my mind that is not known from Czechia and I also got a tip from a pro mycologist who was interested in getting a specimen) but I love the color.

"The problem here is that some of Trump’s strongest soldiers got jammed up in state court, and neither Trump or Martin can stand the fact Trump can’t reach down and erase those convictions. So Martin is finding creative ways to shred the Constitution."
Ed Martin's peculiar view of pardon power
Trump's pardon attorney is very confused about how pardons work.

You don't defend a serial sexual abuser by arguing he wasn't a pedophile. We have plenty of sources mapping Epstein and Trumps behavior. We know they abused their status to coerce their victims to sexual acts. Would them not being pedophiles (and they likely aren't) make that any better?

- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."

A convicted felon who had also been found liable for sexual assault and committed additional crimes in plain sight was close with a notorious child sex trafficker and likely participated in some of those crimes too got elected with much of that known and spent his presidency railing against “crime.”

I find it astonishing the BBC will tear itself up over a moment in a montage - not a scene critical to the documentary's (balanced) argument.
Meanwhile another channel can broadcast a fabricated claim that stirs up hatred against a vulnerable group with zero censure.

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.
This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.
Except... it's bollocks.

We are so far through the looking glass that the man who tried to overthrow an election becomes president, the people who attacked the Capitol are turned into martyrs, & it's the BBC that gets punished - cheered on by the worst news outlets in the UK & the two most dishonest politicians of our age.
It’s not at all clear to me how the BBC can do any kind of serious journalism if its top two bosses can be forced to quit over such an obviously confected scandal. There is no substantive error here. How can the BBC report on Trump, or Farage, or anyone else, in these circumstances?
