France is leading the way by enacting a total ban on harmful chemical treatments to protect our essential pollinators. Bees are the backbone of global agriculture and food security. Let us hope that more countries follow this incredible example.

THE BLUES BROTHERS premiered 46 years ago today, the first in a trio of blockbuster comedies (AIRPLANE! & CADDYSHACK) that are now regarded as stone cold classics. If 1979 was the Summer of Horror, 1980 was the Summer of Laughs.

😂🤣😅😆

Bees and all pollinators are stunning nature’s workhorses—without them, our food sources would be very limited. #stunday #eastcoastkin #insects #bees #pollinators #gardens

Glasgow, radicalised by basic decency

I agree.

RFK Jr demanded the *retraction* of a 20 yr Danish study that showed aluminums in vaccines do not cause health issues. The journal REFUSED saying the study has been peer-reviewed and found to have no significant flaws. Imagine asking science to un-science itself.

Just a random snap out of a train window heading through north of England to Scotland as a reminder of what a beautiful country we live in (and it would be good to remember this when watching reading or listening to the news ….)

Glasgow now, there is no place in Scotland for racism or fascism.

When we begin to view animals not as resources, attractions, or mere background scenery, but as fellow inhabitants of this planet, something changes. Respect grows. Responsibility grows. And so does hope.

Scientifically, a raven has 17 primary wing feathers, the big ones at the end of the wing. They are called pinion feathers. A crow has 16. So, the difference between a raven and a crow is only a matter of a pinion.

Oh, the drama!

Erin Brockovich environmental activist has launched a new campaign 🎯 data centers 💪.. let's go!

In a 1991 Sesame Street blooper reel, Robin Williams showed Elmo that a stick can be anything—especially if you’re Robin Williams. Love Elmo and Mr. ROBINS !

Your pharmacy records. Insurance claims. Lab tests. Even wearable-device data. RFK Jr.’s autism project is seeking access to an unprecedented pool of health information. This man is bat sh*t crazy.

And now a not so well known Gordon Lightfoot song is in my head.

Are they kidding?! There is no way in bloody heck I am working for $16 per year. My dead ex worked for them many years ago, and what it seems is they have sold to a private equity firm. That tracks with the pay rate they are showing. #jobhunting

Sharks have been swimming in Earth's oceans for roughly 450 million years — which means they predate the first tree by about 65 million years, and when sharks first appeared, the only plants on land were mosses and liverworts no taller than a few centimetres share.google/WVzOCBxiSrph...

True.

Swiss trains are just on a whole other level. This ordinary IR38 service between St. Moritz and Chur has a “photo compartment with lowerable windows for outdoor shots” and boy does it ever.

Physicist Rosalyn Yalow co-invented a super-sensitive test (radioimmunoassay) that uses tiny amounts of radioactive tags to detect exact levels of insulin in blood & won the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (the 2nd woman ever to win in this category). She died #OTD in 2011. #WomenInSTEM

Donald Trump is trading stocks in companies his government affects through policy decisions. He’s holding the stocks while pulling the levers that determine their value. It’s corruption, plain and simple.

Sorry to my space friends but it make me positively giddy when some rich douche bag’s rocket blows up.

One mature tree can produce enough oxygen for 2-4 people daily. Forests act as giant air purifiers—absorbing CO₂, pollutants, and particulates—delivering cleaner air that reduces respiratory diseases and supports every cell in your body. Breathe better. Thank a forest. 🌬️
