The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

Ecologist Rob Dunn has long been fascinated by mutualisms—the win-win relationships in nature. In his new book, he explores how different species have teamed up with humans and what those partnerships say about us.
Teamwork Between Species Is The Key To Life Itself
“The Call of the Honeyguide” traces the mutualisms found throughout nature, from hunting pairs to the microbes all around us.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.
The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause

New research shows oyster farms pull in over twice as much carbon through ecosystem effects as they store in shells. They provide food and act as natural carbon sinks.

Perhaps, but it is also worth noting that every major American assassination attempt is, at its core, a whiny, jealous POS with a gun. Much like all school shooters.
🗃️ For example:
John Wilkes Booth > Whiny and jealous of his more famous brother, also a total piece of shit.

better to group this type of assassination (like the attempt on trump last year) with school shootings than with “political violence” as such, at least the way most people define would define such a thing

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.
Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.
Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.
It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

This is what happened in the 50s when comics were blamed for youth crime. Blaming popular culture for poor government social programs is a scapegoat.
RFK claims mass shootings could be linked to video games
This has been widely dismissed — including by studies from the Secret Service, Department of Education, and American Psychological Association

The United States needs to find a way out of the echo chambers. Everybody's only hearing how the other side is not just wrong but damaging and evil. No discourse to find common issues and common solutions. The longer the echo chambers continue, the more the US will have pressure cookers politics.

By escalating strikes in Ukraine and now Poland, Putin is sending a message: He is not interested in a ceasefire, or in peace. He plans to keep fighting.
