A gut-punch of a statistic, reflective of what's happening throughout the entire natural world. But using the word "stocks" to describe a wild population of one of Earth's most breathtaking, magical species indicates precisely why we've reached such a predicament. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

Let's prioritize installing solar panels on structures like car parks and building rooftops instead of agricultural land, as this approach embodies sustainable development.

Look at a forest. Does it grow infinitely? No. It reaches a mature, climax state—biodiverse, resilient, storing massive energy. It doesn't "crash" because it stopped growing; it thrives because it reached equilibrium. Economies need to mimic ecosystems, not cancer cells. 🌲🔄 #Biomimicry #Regenerative

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

Deadly Israeli attacks worsen Gaza’s water shortage crisis
Engineer and two drivers killed in recent weeks as scarcity of clean water fuels spread of preventable diseases Israeli forces in Gaza killed a water engineer and two drivers who transported water to displaced families over four days in mid-April, exacerbating severe shortages of clean water that are fuelling the spread of preventable disease. Israeli limits on the shipment of soap, washing powder and other hygiene products into Gaza have also forced prices up, adding to the challenge of keeping clean and avoiding infection in overcrowded shelters and tent encampments.

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics. Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
When they received the call to respond to an Israeli airstrike in the city of Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon, most of the paramedics held back, having previously seen colleagues killed by double-tap attacks targeting rescuers. But the medics from the Islamic Health Association (IHA) rushed to the scene.

By the time the other emergency workers arrived at the site, they found the IHA medics had indeed been caught in a second strike. They started evacuating their wounded colleagues, only for their ambulances to be hit in two further attacks.

One of the paramedics covered his ears and screamed, convulsing in pain as shrapnel shattered the back window of the ambulance.

The rescue mission on Wednesday afternoon had turned into a nightmare as Israel carried out three consecutive strikes on three sets of ambulances and medical workers.

F-ing depraved. The IDF edited a photo of the journalist they assassinated and made it look like he was wearing a Hezbollah uniform. They explicitly state that it is legal in Israel to murder journalists. The entire Israeli state is a criminal enterprise.
By the way, in that same assassination, you killed three other journalists. Was he that important that you had to kill other legitimate journalists along with him?

Since the war began on 2 March, Israel has struck at least 128 medical facilities and ambulances across south Lebanon, killing 40 healthcare workers and wounding 107, according to the Lebanese ministry of health.
