The point is not to be pessimistic. The point is conservation does work and it is *extremely* under-resourced: https://t.co/NRXo9v2xLw.

Wolves are coming back! Globally large mammals are in really bad shape, especially predators https://t.co/QZKfX30Mhh

Ah but forests are regrowing in Europe! Yes and this is largely due to offshoring European ag. Globally crops continue to expand into ancient ecosystems. It’s not great to trade secondary forests for loss of Amazon https://t.co/zWHIdk5r0y

American birds are at tiny fraction of their former abundance and still declining https://t.co/K9zwmZhDbP

If you read scientific papers all day it’s very clear that we are in a seriously bad place on biodiversity globally. Bison are being restored in limited areas. Amazing, but the overall American grassland biome is in flat out collapse

I’m honored to receive the Pulitzer Prize today. Great thanks to the prize’s jury and board members for honoring me. I dedicate this success to my family, friends, teachers, and students in Gaza. Blessings to the 31 members of my family who were killed in one air strike in 2023.

Meta is upset after I won the Pulitzer Prize yesterday. It has suspended my Facebook account for the second time in a week.

The Intellectual Dark Web is gonna be so mad when they hear about this

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"

A corrupt campaign finance system: Republicans who stand up to Trump will be primaried by Elon Musk’s money. Democrats who stand up to Netanyahu will be primaried by AIPAC. This corrupt system is a cancer for democracy. End Citizens United. Public funding for elections.

1/3 While Trump just stopped all help to Ukraine—Putin’s army attacked Odesa tonight. There are casualties and thousands are sitting without electricity or heat in freezing weather. This is happening right now.

The word technology today brings to mind silicon wafers or carbon fibers. But for most of human existence people have relied on organic materials for most of their technology. In a handful of places natural conditions have preserved wooden artifacts from pre-human ancestors.

Pro-ethanol statements from Democrat politicians should be greeted with the same amount of scorn as if they were celebrating coal mine slurry dumped in a local river at taxpayer expense.

Wow it turns out that the people who made up a lie about immigants eating pets are really awful and cruel

We’re subsidizing 36 million acres of corn to produce low quality diesel, as the largest oil producer on the planet. Please end the ethanol subsidy!

It’s clear that Elon’s crack team of children ARE IN FACT CHILDREN, because only someone who had never really worked with data before would see a table like this and not think “I must be missing something about how this works”

Within minutes of McGregor’s warning, hundreds of vehicles streamed down Altadena Drive away from the fire and toward safety. @edgarrmcgregor https://t.co/IqndQY0lrX
