For communities living alongside Tsavo, wildlife is part of daily life – and not always an easy part.
Recurring drought puts the same pressure on people and animals, and conflict can follow. In the first three months of 2026, our team and partners ran or funded conservation education across 33 schools on the northern Tsavo boundary – theatre, radio programmes, classroom workshops. All to nurture the seeds of conservation among the next generation.

Oh look, another sold-out @JoeBiden fundraiser for a state Democratic Party.
A red state Democratic Party, at that.
I keep hearing the talking heads insist Democrats want Biden to go away, but the actual evidence keeps saying otherwise.
Donors show up. Crowds show up. State parties want him there. Real Democrats still respect him.
Don’t fall for the bullshit narratives manufactured by people who have been wrong about him for years.
Again, if you are a member of the press who covers Congress and you don't understand that Senate Rs got Cassidy to vote one way so Husted could vote the other and be able to say he voted to eliminate the slush fund, consider a different line of work.
All the Republicans who have a lot to say about this Platner article and nothing to say about Max Miller beating his wife in front of their kids, Ron Fournier being arrested for domestic abuse again, or Ken Paxton protecting child sex predators can fuck right off.
After 22 months of gestation (the longest period than any living mammal), a newborn elephant comes to life almost ready to walk, but taking the first steps is always tough

This is Ramsey. He is a mail delivery dog. Shipping is free, and while packages might not be handled with care, they are handled with enthusiasm. 14/10
Serenget is always the last to finish her milk.
She is one of the younger orphans at our Voi Reintegration Unit in Tsavo and she has her own way of doing things. Rather than gulping from the bottle like the others, she takes it slowly – the Keepers fill the very tip of her trunk with milk, so she can pour every drop carefully into her mouth at her own pace. Two bottles takes her a good while.
Every orphan drinks up to 24 litres a day, at whatever pace suits them. A gift of milk from our Wish List can help feed an orphan like Serenget: https://t.co/nStdhlgvM4
Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine
When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.
WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and I’ll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. We’re being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as we’re at each other’s throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, they’re done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise. (But still fuck Jake “Brick Tamland” Tapper on any time line)
@NMSenate_GOP How will you hold criminals accountable? How will you improve ed? How will you eliminate waste and fraud? How will you lower inflation and costs? How will you bring jobs and opportunity? How will you protect parental rights? All I see are campaign slogans. No details. You scared?
Mary Trump: “Don’t waste our time running as a Democrat if you are not running on Supreme Court reform. And I don’t mean reform around the edges. I mean you’re gonna add 4-6 seats immediately. You’re going to implement term limits. You’re going to put in an ethics criteria and you’re going to make sure many of these most egregious decisions are undone”
Factual thoughts….@ScottPelley and @mhenryschuster were embedded with my Marine infantry unit in 2009—it was incredibly violent in Helmand. They told our story well. Years later, my unit suffered multiple suicides, they came back to cover that too. I wrote him when I was hired.
Smells a dead mouse from a mile away. Eats anthrax for breakfast. Prevents epidemics just by existing.
The turkey vulture — the most important bird nobody respects.
THE NOSE:
→ Best sense of smell of any bird on Earth
→ Can detect ethyl mercaptan (decomposition gas) from 1+ mile
→ Gas companies add the same chemical to natural gas lines
→ Turkey vultures have circled gas leaks — engineers follow them
THE STOMACH:
→ Stomach acid: pH ~1 (nearly pure hydrochloric acid)
→ Destroys anthrax, botulism, cholera, hog cholera
→ Eats diseased carcasses that would otherwise spread epidemics
→ Essentially a flying biohazard disposal unit
THE BALD HEAD:
→ No feathers = bacteria can't get trapped when eating carrion
→ UV sunlight sterilizes the bare skin
→ Same reason vultures sunbathe with wings spread (UV sterilization)
THE FLIGHT:
→ Soars for hours without flapping (uses thermals)
→ Distinctive "wobbly" flight with wings in shallow V
→ Can cover 200 miles per day searching for carrion
WITHOUT VULTURES:
→ In India, vulture populations crashed 99% due to a cattle drug
→ Result: rotting carcasses, feral dog explosion, rabies epidemic
→ Tens of thousands of human deaths attributed to vulture decline
Respect the cleanup crew.
You need them more than they need you.
This is Baby. She is celebrating her first ever International Corgi Day today. Personally thinks she should be celebrated every day, but this is a good start. 14/10
We're seeing a revolving door between ICE and the private prison industry. The new head of ICE is a former VP at GeoGroup, the company that runs over a dozen detention centers, including Delaney Hall. This is corruption using taxpayer dollars, and we need to stop it.

Leon Black paid Jeffrey Epstein $158 million.
Now Leon Black’s son oversees a federal investment agency controlling more than $200 billion.
Epstein may be gone but the network he was embedded within is rapidly concentrating power. 🧵
21. Perhaps even more galling is the fact that few reporters seem to understand what's really going on, as if they are so immune to rightwing sadism that it doesn't occur to them whether to ask Mehmet Oz if he's a moron or a liar. end/

1. I didn't want to talk about this today. I had planned on writing a very clever and highly nuanced commentary on American patriarchy. But the man who runs the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which oversees the Affordable Care Act, forced my hand.
