Biodiversity crisis: Forests host 80% of land-based species. Losing them drives extinctions—tropical rainforests alone are home to millions of unique plants & animals.
Habitat destruction threatens everything from insects to tigers. We're losing irreplaceable life. 🦋🐆

So here's what happened in today's Stupid Olympics.
There are two people named Dana White.
One is President and CEO of the UFC
The other is Dana W. White, who served as the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and Chief Pentagon Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Defense under Secretary James Mattis
Their pictures are below. He's the white guy. She's the Black woman. I'll call them UFC Dana and DOD Dana to make it easier for you.
Suzie Wiles, shortly before being replaced by Count Stephen Miller, advised Trump that his new Press Secretary should be Dana White.
And Trump in all his finite wisdom, immediately assumed the UFC Dana, who has never done anything to prepare him for press secretary, and not DOD Dana, whose entire career has been in preparation for that.
Now you might be saying, "Kelly, not everyone knows about DOD Dana. It's an honest mistake."
But he's NOT just "everyone." He's the President of the United States. And this is a man whose administration has been firing Black people, women, trans people, and so on, insisting that none of them got their job based on merit.
And then he's going to name someone completely unqualified to be Press Secretary because the President is a fan of the UFC.
And he didn't even think to ask anyone. It never even occurred to him to ponder whether UFC Dana is the person he should pick as Press Secretary.
Stupid and incurious are a dangerous combination, and this man is both of those things.
And that got me to thinking about the two Dan Sullivan in Alaska. And I get it now. The man who is too stupid to know the difference between two Dana Whites thinks Alaskans are too stupid to know the difference between two Dan Sullivans.

for decades these people came into universities to explain people why their field is the best, why they should come to work in their company and give hope about a great future
now they are just sociopaths who come to tell young people they are worthless

The presence of cannabis-like remedies in ancient Egyptian medical texts suggests a practical and medicinal role rather than recreational use.
🔹 Pain Management: Applied as a poultice or ingested for aches and inflammation
🔹 Eye Treatments: Used in mixtures to treat glaucoma or eye irritation
🔹 Gynecological Health: Cannabis extracts may have been used to ease menstrual pain and aid childbirth
🔹 Spiritual & Ritual Use: Some speculate that Egyptian priests and healers used cannabis in religious rites and healing ceremonies
The Egyptians were masterful healers, utilizing a vast pharmacopeia of herbs, minerals, and holistic treatments.
Their writings align with modern research on cannabis’ anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Everyone's worried about honeybees, but the American bumblebee has declined by 89% in the last 20 years.
Bombus pensylvanicus was once the most common bumblebee in the southern United States. It's now functionally extinct in eight states (Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Idaho, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Oregon) and down 99% in New York.
The honeybee, the species most "save the bees" campaigns are organized around, is not native to North America. It was brought over by European colonists in the 1600s as livestock for honey production. It is managed, bred, transported across the country in trucks, and is doing fine. Beekeeping is an agricultural industry, not a conservation effort.
The American bumblebee is what we actually have. It pollinates wild plants honeybees can't, including ones with deep flowers and ones that require buzz pollination (a technique honeybees don't perform). Tomatoes, blueberries, eggplants, cranberries, and countless wildflowers depend on it.
The Center for Biological Diversity petitioned to list the species as endangered in 2021. The federal review is now in its fifth year. The species is still not protected.
Three things help.
1. Plant native flowers, the kind bumblebees evolved with (asters, goldenrod, milkweed, native sunflowers, beebalm, mountain mint).
2. Leave standing dead plant stems through winter, that's where queens overwinter.
3. Stop spraying for mosquitoes, those sprays kill every pollinator they touch.
The bees we built an industry to "save" are not the bees that need saving. The ones that do are quietly disappearing while we celebrate the ones that aren't.

For years this meadow was cut back every fortnight until there was nothing but green silence 🌱
Now, after just two years without the constant mowing, it has become a living sea of Buttercups, Dandelions, Cuckoo Flowers, Thistles and Dock 🌼✨
The difference is astonishing....bees drift between flowers, butterflies rise from the grasses and every inch is filled with life that simply was not there before 🐝🦋
“Untidy” land is not neglect at all...it is recovery 💛

Five years ago, Scotland’s beautiful “Highland Tiger” was declared functionally extinct in the wild. Today, wild-born kittens are roaming the Highlands again. 🐾
Through dedication, science, and patience, conservationists released specially bred European Wildcats back into their ancestral home and it worked. Recent trail cameras have confirmed new generations being born in the wild.
Stories like this remind us that nature can recover when people choose to protect it instead of give up on it.
In a world full of bad news, conservation success stories like the Scottish Wildcat, California Condor, and Iberian Lynx prove that extinction doesn’t always have to be the ending.
Nature is resilient. Hope matters.

माननीय प्रधानमंत्री @narendramodi महोदय जी 🇮🇳
मेरा विनम्र सुझाव है कि भारत के शहरों को एक मजबूत और आधुनिक 🌳 पर्यावरण योजना की सख्त आवश्यकता है, जिससे भीषण गर्मी ☀️, जल संकट 💧, प्रदूषण 🌫️, बाढ़ 🌊 और अन्य समस्याओं से प्रभावी तरीके से निपटा जा सके।

The Netherlands figured something out decades ago that many countries are still catching up to.
Instead of treating roadside verges as wasted space that just needs constant mowing, they started managing them as ecological corridors.
What might look like simple grass strips along highways is often part of a carefully planned system of ecological roadside management letting native wildflowers grow, mowing less frequently, and timing cuts to protect pollinators.
In the Netherlands, this shift matters a lot. Road edges, dikes, and medians aren’t just infrastructure margins they’re some of the most connected semi-natural habitats in the landscape.
The approach is coordinated by agencies alongside provinces and municipalities, aligning road safety with biodiversity goals instead of treating them as opposites.
The result isn’t just prettier roads. It’s continuous habitat for pollinators, better connectivity between fragmented ecosystems, and often lower long-term maintenance costs because you’re not repeatedly mowing and replanting sterile grass.
It’s a simple idea with a big implication: infrastructure doesn’t have to be ecologically neutral. Even the edges of roads can work for nature if you design them that way from the start.

Americans: I use miles and pounds
Europeans: I use kilometres and kilograms
Canadians: [snorting a line of assorted measuring systems] I'm 5'8, I weigh 150lbs, horses weigh 1000kgs, my house is an hour away and I drive 80 km/h to get there, I need a cup of flour and 1L of milk

Nobody resigns from a cabinet position during a naval blockade by accident.
John C. Phelan stepping down as Secretary of the Navy right now is not routine. This is one of the most operationally active moments for the U.S.
Navy in recent memory. 29 vessels turned back.
Ships under escort in the Indian Ocean. Global enforcement in motion.
You don't leave that chair voluntarily at this moment without a reason.
The question nobody is asking loudly enough is why now.
Disagreement over strategy. Political pressure from above. Something that hasn't surfaced publicly yet.
In Washington, the timing of a resignation tells you more than the resignation itself. 👀

Iran has not agreed to next round of talks with US, citing 'excessive demands'
——
Iran has not yet agreed to a new round of negotiations with the US, according to Tasnim News Agency. This decision comes in response to US President Donald Trump’s statement about imposing a naval blockade on Iran, as well as what Iran views as excessive demands from the US side, demands that have continued in recent exchanges.
Iran has stressed that avoiding such demands is a key condition for continuing talks; otherwise, it will not engage in time-wasting, prolonged, and unproductive negotiations. The message has reportedly been conveyed to US officials through a Pakistani intermediary.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 The Israeli army blew up the official school in Marwein, southern Lebanon.
And you want to tell me they’re not repeating the Gaza playbook in Lebanon?
Disgusting!!!
🚨 BREAKING:
🇱🇧🇺🇸🇮🇱 Lebanese President Aoun told Rubio directly that he refuses to speak with Netanyahu.
Aoun thanked Rubio for Washington's efforts toward a ceasefire. Rubio reaffirmed his commitment to reaching a deal and expressed support for Aoun's positions.
Lebanon's Foreign Minister adds that direct negotiations have established a key principle: the Lebanese file is now separate from the Iranian one.
