We now have rigorous pooled data showing that even without active restoration efforts, cleared rainforest can rebound to 75% of their former species composition and 90% of species diversity within just thirty years. #goodnews

Rainforest biodiversity rebounds within a single generation | The Optimist Daily

A major Ecuador study finds cleared rainforests can recover 90 percent of their species diversity in just 30 years, as long as humans leave the land alone.

There used to be DATELINE, and PRIMETIME, 20/20 and 48 Hours … and now they’re all dead or true crime novellas. ‘60 Minutes’, the first, the top of the mountain, was the last one standing. And to get nuked even though it still makes money, wins truckloads of Emmys, gets ratings? It’s cultural arson.

It's inexcusable, and it's remarkable there's not more pushback. Y'know what ETFs like SPY & VOO do when they add a stock? They rebalance by selling all the other stocks in proportion. They are literally changing the rules to take value from shareholders of every S&P 500 company to give it to Musk.

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

Forget April Fool's. The Terminal State beta is live for Kickstarter backers, who are already finding typos (which both I and spell checkers somehow missed). Which is good! We're finally nearing the finish line. After final edits and finishing touches, we'll open the Kickstarter to late backers.
