"Swaths of the woodland, which is a valuable carbon sink, once covered western Scotland, Wales and south-west England, as well as Ireland, but it has been reduced to tiny fragments, a fraction of its former size. Globally, temperate rainforest covers less than 1% of the Earth’s land surface, making it one of the rarest ecosystems on the planet...
“We hope it will serve as a nexus for temperate rainforest research across the whole range,” said Merlin Hanbury-Tenison. “

About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill.
And not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared.

Why it’s time to ditch the myth of the heroic billionaire
Democracy is built on the idea of popular sovereignty: the insistence the “people” are collectively the ones ultimately responsible for self rule. Central to this is the rule of law, whereby all citizens, no matter how powerful or wealthy, are subject to the same laws. Leaders like Trump, however, seem to believe themselves to be above the law...
Musk is not the first billionaire to position himself as a heroic “revolutionary” for whom the laws don’t apply; the wealthy have long claimed they can solve the world’s problems better than democratic institutions. Where hope lies, however, is that Musk has taken this vigilantism to such extremes, a fightback is occurring. He may have gone too far.
Friday essay: why it’s time to ditch the myth of the heroic billionaire

My friend Noremi, a Korean American artist, released their first album after graduating college and essentially quitting music for five years. Their music is so gorgeous and I always looked forward to when they'd drop an impromptu release of a live performance.
The album is called "i am very young and i am learning how to live"
It would mean a lot to me if you checked it out, and I think people on here might be the type to enjoy it. This is an album to let you know that you're not alone, and an album to tell others that they're not alone!!
Shared: What If We Made Advertising Illegal? simone.org/advertising/.
> "I think there's a world where we'll look back on our advertising-saturated era with the same bewilderment with which we now regard cigarette smoke, child labor, or public executions: a barbaric practice that we allowed to continue far too long because we couldn't imagine an alternative."
What If We Made Advertising Illegal?
What if we banned all advertising? Not regulate it—abolish it. This proposal would transform manipulation machines, and maybe save democracy itself. A thought experiment worth considering.Kōdō Simone
