Apocalyptic scenes in the Amazon. Illegal gold mining has literally turned the lush rainforest into a barren desert of sand. An area the size of 200,000 soccer pitches has been completely annihilated. The scale of this destruction is absolutely terrifying.

Puffin season is upon us. You’ll want the sound on, trust me.

Right, that's the clock on the cooker adjusted, now for the microwave. 🤣🤣

@FootyScran @AVFCOfficial @ThePanjabiGrill It's good. But it's not 13 quid good.

Welcome to Super Seabird Sunday where we ask you to share photos, videos & artwork of seabirds to brighten timelines. Here is my contribution; a pair magnificent pair of European Shags at their nest on the Isle of May #SuperSeabirdSunday

@kelper60 @SteelySeabirder I was on that exact spot 40 years ago almost to the day. I wonder if any of the birds I saw then are still there? Lovely video, thanks for sharing!

Nuclear is the most popular form of energy generation in Scotland. 54% of Scots support nuclear vs 29% opposed. Yet building a new nuclear power station in Scotland is banned. I think it's time to lift the ban. Do you agree?

@stuartisbister @grahamramsay But I only want to select up to a certain point.

Years ago in Word, if you clicked on a word it would tell you (eg) “word 10,000 out of 20,000”. Now you can only get that stat if you highlight a big chunk of text. Not really practical if you have a very long document. Is there a hack?

Crimea is Ukraine.

Last year, Trump rolled out the red carpet for the war criminal Putin. Today, his MAGA allies are doing the same for a russian delegation at the Capitol. This is a betrayal of the United States and of all free people around the world. Acknowledgment: Thank you, Thomas Hoefling, for pointing out this moral bankruptcy.

She had a PhD in psychology from Columbia. The network handed her a stack of books on prizefighting. It was 1955. Joyce Brothers was twenty-seven, newly married to a medical resident, and mother to a newborn. They lived in a freezing walk-up apartment on $50 a month. Rent was $75. They ate crackers for dinner and skipped meals to keep the heat on. She washed her hair with dish soap. Universities wouldn’t hire her because she was a woman. Clinics wouldn’t hire her because she was a mother. Her profession had locked her out. One night, desperate for money, she applied to a new CBS quiz show that was giving away huge sums. The producers liked her looks but rejected psychology. They offered her one category: boxing. They assumed a petite blonde housewife would be gone in a week. Joyce didn’t argue. She walked to the library in the freezing rain, checked out heavy volumes on boxing history, and carried them home. For four weeks she barely slept. While her baby cried beside her, she memorized weights, reaches, referees, ring records, and obscure fights from the 1890s. On live television, inside the isolation booth, she answered every question flawlessly. The sponsors panicked and made the questions harder. She still didn’t miss. She won $64,000. Then she used her sudden fame to get what she had wanted all along: her own television show. By 1958, Dr. Joyce Brothers was on air talking about postpartum depression, anxiety, and marriage — subjects no one else would touch. When the network tried to cancel her for discussing menopause, she read viewer letters on camera. They backed down. She had beaten the game they built for her to lose. Dr. Joyce Brothers: the woman who memorized boxing to break into television — and then used it to help millions of women think about their own minds. We are a tiny minority contributing to the world and improving lives. Always.

To the immortal memory of Colonel Arnaud Beltrame of the Gendarmerie nationale who died on this day eight years ago. He selflessly exchanged himself for a hostage, putting himself in the hands of a terrorist who had already murdered three people. It cost him his life.

Wondering if the hearts of those frustrated by small acts of petty symbolism, by the feeling that smashed windows and graffiti on bakeries are simply not enough, are cheered by the upgrade to burning ambulances this morning.

This is Andalusia, Spain…where hundreds of thousands of ancient olive trees are being ripped out & replaced with solar panels. Trees, bees & insects all wiped out. All under the guise to 'save the planet'...
