Bought a poinsettia today. 50% cheaper as no one wants to buy them post Christmas. These plants are natives of Mexico and are perennials so with the right care you can have a plant that stays for a few Christmases. #houseplants
Are there any other Guardian readers here?
I enjoy their news articles, but their cinema news and reviews reek of sexism. Their articles about the movie Barbie were largely on the nose. The retrospective article about Mary Poppins had me rolling my eyes. Just in the last day the Guardian's Peter Bradshaw has written about Shelley Duvall's career given our recent loss. Was the most important thing about Duvall her sexuality? Three times he goes into some depth about it, as if it were the most important thing about her as an actor and a human being. Would he have said the same things about a male actor?
I hope other people are also writing to The Guardian and complaining!

@Gargron I regularly get into this mode of the web user interface. With no way to exit, except refreshing the whole page. Maybe somebody should take a look at that from UX point if view… 🤔
Actually I don’t even know what the function is supposed to do. It happens when I’m reading messages, not trying to upload anything at all.
On a mobile device. No files being dragged at all. And no escape button either.
I’m not sure how it get’s triggered. Just the usual thick fingers on a tiny screen trying to scroll situation. 😉

Deforestation in #Colombia falls to lowest level in 23 years theguardian.com/world/article/…
"The amount of #forest loss fell from 1,235 sq km in 2022 to 792 sq km in 2023 – a 36% decrease... Most of the environmental gains were in the #Amazon #rainforest, where the Colombian government is focusing much of its conservation efforts... Runaway #deforestation has been reined in and reversed under Gustavo Petro’s government, the first leftist administration in Colombia’s history."

"It’s commonly thought that young children learn language through speech directed at them. However, new research shows that children learn language just as well by overhearing others speaking around them. While children in developed countries often learn their native tongues through a direct approach, children in indigenous societies learn via overhearing. This has prompted researchers to theorize that for much of human history, children learned language indirectly. There may be ramifications of altering the way we’ve historically learned language, perhaps on attention and broader learning styles."
For most of human history, babies probably picked up language by overhearing.Ross Pomeroy (Big Think)
