Dear Bluesky,
www.thenerve.news is still tiny. We launched it with no dirty money (no money at all, lol!). But we're proving what's possible with a small expert team & no billionaire owners.
We knew the UK press wouldn't understand or properly cover this story, so we did. Thank you for the support!

En ny studie visar att inga av de undersökta svenska skogarna som kalhuggits sedan 1950-talet har återhämtat sig helt när det gäller biologisk mångfald, över 70 år senare.

Skogar som kalhöggs på 1950-talet är fortfarande artfattigare
Även 65-85 år gamla produktionsskogar har betydligt sämre förutsättningar för rödlistade arter och naturvårdsarter än vad naturreservat har.

Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

The term “Impressionism” started as an insult.
In 1874, Monet exhibited Impression, Sunrise alongside works by his contemporaries. Critic Louis Leroy mocked the show, calling the paintings “mere impressions.”
