Draped in a veil of fog, the forest offers sanctuary—granting reprieve.
Let us embrace the softness seep into our aches, and may the quiet heal what it can.

Pope Francis’s Stunning Rebuke of JD Vance Exposes MAGA’s Dark Soul
The vice president took a stab at theology to defend the administration’s rank cruelty. Then a higher authority weighed in.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we’re up for grabs for the next charlatan — political or religious — who comes ambling along.

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record.

Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January.

But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil.

President Zelenkyy appeared calm, confident, relatable, and compelling in his guest appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast. Zelenskyy made a clear argument to MAGA that continuing support for Ukraine is how Trump can put America first.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Just over one month ago, neo-Nazis marched through the streets of Columbus, Ohio, clamoring for “white power.”

Masked men dressed in black waved black flags with red swastikas, ranting at all people of color and shouting antisemitic slurs.

White supremacists and antisemites across the globe…
