"If we lose hope, we're doomed." We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Lovely shot!

The US wine industry today employs more people than coal did at its peak a century ago

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

I mean, how could the famously liberal owner of the Times possibly have imagined this sort of thing would come to pass when they appointed as the paper's editor someone who'd been deputy editor of the Mail and editor of both the Telegraph and the Sun?

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

While the senile old man rides in carriages around castles, builds his ballroom, puts gold on everything, plans parades, attends a variety of sporting events, threatens people, and reads the scripts put in front of him, this psychopath is the one actually running the country.

Searingly good article about the consequences of the decline in reading - ironically (or fittingly?) a long read, but well worth the time

A hugely important article by @j-amesmarriott.bsky.social on how an astonishing decline in reading books, brought about by the smartphone, is fuelling authoritarianism and threatens the greatest setback for civilisation since the fall of the Roman Empire. jmarriott.substack.com/p/the-dawn-o...

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

Great picture!

Good illustration of how it works

Great picture!

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

Interesting - a (non-US?) crypto scam could be amplifying conservative CK assassination reaction

Brian Kilmeade’s “just kill them” comment about homeless people is vile, but the fact that his co-hosts didn’t even blink is equally chilling. It’s a reminder of Karl Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance: if we tolerate the intolerant, we risk letting their toxic views erode the very foundation of society

Well worth a read - why tolerating or ignoring racism may only encourage it

Super photos, amazing place!

Great article

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

“A row of men lean against the metal shutters that keep them out of Westminster tube station, as they piss through the bars directly onto the steps on the other side. Nearby a furious man in his early 30s yells ‘bring the cocaine here now, mate’. It is not yet 2pm.”

Great shot!

Important if grim reading. A world that many of us know too little about.

“The leak and the eventual reveal of what was on the bullet casings is important, if only for illustrating exactly how unprepared for this current moment both law enforcement and the mainstream media are.” www.garbageday.email/p/charlie-ki...

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

Justin Webb just referred on Today to "platforms like Bluesky, where you can see the celebration of the killing" of Charlie Kirk. What I'm seeing on here is overwhelming condemnation; despair at the violence of US politics; alarm at where this might go; & calls for equal horror at other shootings.

Very nice shot

The finest response I've seen so far.

At the factory gate in China, solar panels are now cheaper than window glass. People are using them to build fences or instead of roof tiles.

"Glasgow forty years ago was black with two centuries of smoke, its great industries vanishing, its spirit on life support. But it found its voice and expressed it through a big round yellow smiling face – “Glasgow’s Miles Better”, said Mr Smiley. And it was." by Martin Roche @cluthaman.bsky.social

Let’s hope

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...
