Did you know Korea sells “one-a-day” banana packs? Instead of every banana ripening at once, each one is at a different stage. One is ready today. The next one is ready tomorrow. The last one is still spiritually in college, “experimenting.” Simple. Genius. Solves the entire banana problem. What do you think? Would you prefer your bananas this way?
We’ve helped stop Belgium’s nuclear shutdown! After years of sustained campaigning — with WePlanet leading this effort alongside allies since 2021, and many individuals within our movement advocating for even longer — we are now seeing real results. Two months after WePlanet won a court injunction freezing demolition, the Belgian government has ordered an immediate halt to all nuclear decommissioning work. And it has entered talks to take control of all seven of the country’s reactors. This is a huge moment: a historic shift in Belgian energy policy, and a sign that the nuclear debate across Europe is changing fast. And it came just in time. Within weeks, critical equipment at the Tihange 1 plant was set to be removed – a point of no return. Replacing that low-carbon power with gas would have locked the country into fossil fuel dependence for another generation. To everyone who showed up at rallies, signed petitions, wrote to decision-makers and donated towards our work – thank you. This is your win. There is more work to do in the months ahead. The government’s negotiations with nuclear operator Engie will run until October 1st. Regulatory approval is required. And anti-nuclear organisations are already mobilising to reverse the decision. But the direction is clear: Belgium is choosing reliable, clean, domestic power over imported gas – and setting a vital precedent for Europe. Nuclear and renewables. That's the grid we're fighting for.
Oh I’m so fucking ready dude

The United States Supreme Court, in the eyes of America and the world.
honestly i'm this close to quitting reading for good. every single author i actually love turns out to be problematic or worse. i'm so tired of finding out after i already got attached. feels like i can't enjoy anything anymore without a background check first
David Reich on how much ancient DNA evidence has overturned so much consensus thinking how ancient cultures spread. "It wasn't peaceful, it wasn't friendly, it wasn't nice. Some of our archaeologist co-authors were just really distressed."
