Everyone's worried about honeybees, but the American bumblebee has declined by 89% in the last 20 years. Bombus pensylvanicus was once the most common bumblebee in the southern United States. It's now functionally extinct in eight states (Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Idaho, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Oregon) and down 99% in New York. The honeybee, the species most "save the bees" campaigns are organized around, is not native to North America. It was brought over by European colonists in the 1600s as livestock for honey production. It is managed, bred, transported across the country in trucks, and is doing fine. Beekeeping is an agricultural industry, not a conservation effort. The American bumblebee is what we actually have. It pollinates wild plants honeybees can't, including ones with deep flowers and ones that require buzz pollination (a technique honeybees don't perform). Tomatoes, blueberries, eggplants, cranberries, and countless wildflowers depend on it. The Center for Biological Diversity petitioned to list the species as endangered in 2021. The federal review is now in its fifth year. The species is still not protected. Three things help. 1. Plant native flowers, the kind bumblebees evolved with (asters, goldenrod, milkweed, native sunflowers, beebalm, mountain mint). 2. Leave standing dead plant stems through winter, that's where queens overwinter. 3. Stop spraying for mosquitoes, those sprays kill every pollinator they touch. The bees we built an industry to "save" are not the bees that need saving. The ones that do are quietly disappearing while we celebrate the ones that aren't.

Me: in Japanese bookstore. peaceful atmosphere, smells like paper and intelligence. I’m minding my business when tiny grandma approaches me. Grandma: You speak English? Me: Yes? she immediately hands me thick fantasy novel. Grandma: Explain. Me: …the entire book? Grandma: Yes. for some reason I do, twenty minutes later. I’m summarizing dragons and politics to elderly stranger. other customers slowly gathering around Grandma deeply invested now. Grandma: So wizard betray prince? Me: Yes. random salaryman joins conversation. Salaryman: I knew it. Me: YOU HAVEN’T EVEN READ IT. another old woman appears. Old woman: Who dies? Me: I’M NOT SPOILING IT. bookstore employee watching this happen from distance. not helping. Grandma grabs second book. Grandma: Next. Me: Absolutely not. Grandma: You have good storytelling face. crowd nodding, why is there a crowd. little kid sitting on floor now waiting patiently. Salaryman: Continue dragon part. Me: I accidentally started public audiobook.

California Democrats are so corrupt Chad Bianco seized 650,000 ballots because 46,000 ballots appeared out of nowhere and he wanted to investigate - California Attorney General Rob Bonta contacted him and told him not to investigate, he refused - So AG Rob Bonta took him to court, the court sided with Chad Bianco - AG Rob Bonta took it to the court of appeals, it failed. They threw out the case and sided with Chad Bianco It should have stopped there but it didn’t “So now he's gone into civil court to sue us. And unfortunately, the Superior Court judge who has already ruled on this, that told us to count the ballots, now that there's a civil case, he is not allowing it anymore” Let me remind everyone that all Chad Bianco wants to do is very accuracy because tens of thousands of ballots seem to not belong The only goal was to physically hand-count the ballots to verify the totals and investigate potential fraud, machine issues, or human error Democrats are going to great lengths to stop a hand count…. Why? We all know. Democrats are rigging elections

There is a genuine paid job in Brazil that involves estimating people’s race by analysing their phenotype - skin tone, hair texture, facial features etc. Reason for it is Brazil has racial quotas so special ‘Heteroidentification Panels’ have to confirm ethnicity before hiring etc

Racial discrimination at Harvard: Blacks are granted such a large advantage by Harvard over their White peers that a Black applicant in the 5th decile still has a higher chance of admission than a White applicant in the 10th decile. If we use Asians in the 10th academic decile as a reference point, we notice that the most qualified Asian individuals have a worse chance of getting into Harvard than Black individuals in the 4th decile from the bottom half of the applicant pool.

“Don’t worry sir, these are all LEGAL migrants!!”

Clickbait. Everybody got their autograph and selfie, the passage to the hotel was kept free for guests, and I still got to the airport on time. One man, no security. Handled. What’s your problem ?

Israel just declared full war with Lebanon. A 35% Christian nation. "Greatest ally".

Rape is natural selection too lil bro

"Now make her show a mugshot of a Mexi-Mulatto who killed someone drunk driving and ask why this keeps happening"

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. businessinsider.com/uber-coo-andre…

White men, wake up. Your ancestors carved empires from wilderness and held civilization together through millennia of fire and trial. They didn’t conquer the world so their soft, selfish, hedonistic descendants could meekly hand it over to barbarian hordes. That blood still runs in your veins. You are better than this. Stronger than this. Rise. Fight for what they built. Wake up, White men.

HnH are saying ‘Nazis’ triggered the riots in Oldham 25 years ago. NO The catalyst for the riots was this: 76 year old Walter Chamberlain, a World War II veteran, was attacked and mugged by a group of Pakistanis. Walter was walking home after watching a local amateur rugby league match. He was mugged and badly beaten, receiving fractured bones in the face amongst other injuries. Stop lying and trying to rewrite history, Nick.

@simpleorganix @DonnaOnX Possum’s barely eat any ticks. The entire possum/tick thing is a hoax.
