I don't believe in free will.

Every manicured lawn is an act of war on nature. We call it tidy. Nature calls it ecocide. 🌱🦋🌎 gardeningwell.ie/climate-acti... #WildlifeGardening #GardeningWell #Ireland

This Is Fascism

This new hour-long interview with Geoffrey Hinton is extremely interesting and thought provoking. I highly recommend it.

Awesome

@natehagens.bsky.social tries the impossible: injecting reality into a PBS discussion on climate and energy. Worth watching. www.pbs.org/video/uncove...

I see a steady stream of new papers/reports & articles abt fresh horrors affecting living organisms from forever chemicals (PFAS), micro- & nanoplastics & other toxic or invasive substances. But at this point, I can't be bothered 2 post them here anymore. Just know that all this shit is EVERYWHERE.

From Barcelona to Hawaii, from Iceland to the Okavango Delta, locals are fed up with too many people. Ironically, both humans and animals sense there are too many of us, yet we refuse to call overpopulation what it is: a problem. apple.news/ASENAfZY0Tli...

“I am living with the deep pain of watching someone I once loved become the face of evil.” From July 17th: m.facebook.com/share/p/16yL...

We like to say no species is “eco-conscious.” Wolves aren’t regulating elk out of principle, bees aren’t pollinating out of altruism. Or are they? Honestly, we don’t know what they “know.” 🐺🐝

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

This process of diminishing glaciers would easily take a U-turn if or when the AMOC slows down to a trickle or halts altogether. That would also make Iceland much less habitable for humans.

People cause 100% of climate change, biodiversity loss, microplastics, toxins, invasive species, and water scarcity. But media rarely frames it that way — because it means confronting our entire consumer culture, not just one product.

And it’s just really easy to not eat meat. Since making the switch I’m amazed how much less our garbage stinks and how much better we feel. We don’t often get a solution that is win/win like that: Better health Better for the environment Easy to implement now Cost neutral Ethical

How will the "Enemy Within" react to Trump's threat to go to war within the US and to use cities as training grounds for the military even using lethal power against citizens? Is America’s experiment with democracy at an end?

Important!

We’re not “on the verge” of a sixth mass extinction—we’re nearing the end. It began ~2.5 M yrs ago with early hominins & has only sped up. In 50 yrs we’ve lost >70 % of wild animals. Whole ecosystems are vanishing, triggering an irreversible extinction avalanche. apple.news/ALC9d_wZ-Rgi...

I may have not won the powerball due to lack of buying a ticket, but I hit the jackpot with this find: a Fraser magnolia “cone” harboring both the Magnolia-cone mushroom (Strobilurus conigenoides) and the Magnolia-cone Xylaria (Xylaria magnoliae) 😍🤩🙌! #Mushrooms

russia is a murderer of children, bombing them in their sleep.

The vast stupidity washing over the United States is wearing me down. I fully expect the flat-earthers to take over all education. We are such a stupid stupid nation.

Vaccines don't cause autism. What does? Mostly genes. The number of people diagnosed with autism as screening has improved and the definition of autism has been expanded. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

We're getting 2 that point in our hyper-technological human civilization when personal spaces are vanishing (nanotechnology in miniature cameras & microphones) & our ability 2 distinguish between fake vs real images & videos is evaporating because of AI tech. Great news for the fascists out there.
