@DougEBarr @PIK_Climate @OregonState @IIASAVienna Indigenous Peoples lived all over our Earth in harmony with Nature for 10s of thousands of years

We so-called “civilised” people are, in just 2000+ years of recorded history, reducing our beautiful planet 🌎 to a poisoned, burning greenhouse in our lifetime

Too late to🛑 it now

RIP Marjane Satrapi, the great cartoonist and film director, best known for PERSEPOLIS. She was only 56. A great talent. She will be missed.

[The Fourth Musketeer @IV_Musketeer]

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.

⚡️ Budapest has reached an agreement with Kyiv on the rights of the Hungarian minority in Ukraine.

This opens the way for Ukraine’s EU accession. Hungary will no longer block it.

Smashed car windows. Bricks littering the streets. Families left clearing up the mess after a night of chaos in Southampton.
This wasn't done in Henry Nowak's name. Associating this destruction with Henry or his family's memory is an insult.
This was the work of Farage and his mob of thugs who seized the chance to riot while pretending to be the victims.

Proud to be the first high school student in the world to ever be sanctioned by an authoritarian regime for uncovering corruption. It just proves that the work I’ve done to expose Russias sanctions evasion stablecoin, A7A5, has touched a raw nerve.

"What I saw in Ukraine was horrifying. Russia launched missiles and drones at men, women and children sleeping in their homes, tried to take down the energy grid for millions of Ukrainians, and committed war crimes and atrocities at a level we haven't seen since WW2.

I resigned because the policy was to put pressure on the victim, Ukraine, rather than on the aggressor, Russia.

Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger on Brexit: “Putin would have been absolutely delighted by our decision.”

“So would Xi. France has effectively eclipsed us. Brexit has marginalised us.” Most striking of all: “Just nobody mentions the UK.”

Very sad that Sir Alex Younger, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, born on July 4, 1963, died of pancreatic cancer on June 2, 2026, aged 62

Oggi Alexei Navalny avrebbe compiuto 50 anni.

Il rospo che governa la Russia da oltre 25 anni ha ucciso Navalny perché Navalny era vivo.

Vivo nelle idee, nell’energia, nella capacità di ispirare le persone e di dimostrare che un’altra Russia fosse possibile.

E lo ha ucciso anche perché Navalny era forse l’unico politico russo contemporaneo capace non solo di protestare, ma di costruire: un partito, organizzazioni, reti di volontari, fiducia e partecipazione. Tutto questo senza accesso alle risorse dello Stato, senza televisioni e sotto una repressione costante.

Molti oppositori sono stati capaci di parlare. Navalny sapeva organizzare.

Molti sapevano criticare il sistema. Navalny sapeva creare un'alternativa.

Molti avevano sostenitori. Navalny riusciva a formare nuove persone, nuovi leader, nuove strutture.

Per questo la sua morte è stata una perdita enorme. Non solo per l’opposizione, ma per la Russia stessa. Persone capaci di costruire strutture politiche reali, formare nuove generazioni di attivisti e trasformare il malcontento in azione politica sono rare ovunque. In Russia erano quasi uniche.

Alla fine ha dato la vita per l’idea che la Russia potesse essere libera.

Molti si sono chiesti perché sia tornato dopo l’avvelenamento.

Perché non poteva fare altrimenti.

Perché, a differenza di Putin e della sua banda, per lui la Russia non era una parola vuota e nemmeno una semplice stazione di servizio da cui estrarre risorse. Era il suo Paese.

E proprio per questo è tornato, pur sapendo perfettamente quale prezzo avrebbe potuto pagare.

Ed è proprio questo che il Cremlino non gli ha mai perdonato: il fatto che non avesse paura quanto avrebbe dovuto.

Oggi Navalny avrebbe compiuto 50 anni.

E la cosa che più colpisce è che, a distanza di anni, continua a rappresentare una speranza per molte persone. Mentre chi lo ha fatto uccidere continua a rappresentare soltanto la paura.

Ужасный день. Счастливый день. День воспоминаний. День хороших людей.

Столько чувств, и все они крепко переплетаются между собой - любовь, нежность, благодарность, тоска. Всё это живёт одновременно и с трудом помещается в слова. Но я пробую. Горестно. Больно. И в то же время - светло и радостно от того, что Алексей был. Что мы были вместе - что это случилось в нашей жизни.

Я очень хочу, чтобы этот день, 4 июня, не проходил незаметно. Чтобы Алексей не забывался. Чтобы вы, как и я, чувствовали его рядом - хотя бы сегодня.

Я очень старалась придумать для вас что-то особенное. И вот получился такой подарок для всех - в этом году мы сделали аудиокнигу мемуаров Алексея «Патриот».
Её читают удивительные, близкие вам люди, которым дорога память о нём. Каждый из них пережил свой кусочек жизни вместе с ним - и вложил в это чтение свою душу. Получилось что-то очень живое, очень тёплое. Когда я слушала, я и плакала, и улыбалась.

Я бесконечно благодарна каждому из тех, кто поучаствовал.

И вам - за то, что помните. За то, что вы есть.

Послушать аудиокнигу можно на сайте издательства. Это бесплатно.

Le 4 juin 2026, Alexei Navalny aurait eu 50 ans.

Assassiné en détention le 16 février 2024, il demeure une référence absolue et le symbole de la résistance face à la dictature. Son parcours est celui d’un homme qui a vaincu la peur, transformant des années de harcèlement judiciaire et de fabrications de dossiers en un procès contre le système lui-même.

Derrière le destin tragique du principal opposant au Kremlin se cache la chronique d'une répression implacable. Des dossiers fabriqués de toutes pièces (« Kirovles » et « Yves Rocher ») au blocus économique de sa famille, le pouvoir a tout fait pour paralyser son action.

Aujourd’hui, cette date est bien plus qu'un hommage. C’est un rappel du sort de centaines de prisonniers politiques en Russie — citoyens condamnés pour de simples dons, manifestations et ses convictions.

Le Kremlin a éliminé l'homme, mais ses idées restent vivantes.

"We must do what they fear--tell the truth, spread the truth. This is the most power weapon against this regime of liars, thieves, and hypocrites. Everyone has this weapon. So make use of it."

Today Alexei Navalny turned 50.

Or he would have if not for so-called democratic world leaders who always thought they knew better than so many Russians (like Navalny) who risked their lives warning everyone about Putin.

We get the world we deserve. 1/2

[Ryan McKenna @rwmckenna]

Alexei Navalny would have turned 50 today. He spent his life exposing corruption and refusing to be silenced, and it cost him everything.

June 4 also marks the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown. A fitting day to remember the courage it takes to challenge power, wherever that challenge is needed.

[Tim White @TWMCLtd]

Some Russians today laid flowers at the grave of Alexei Navalny. The opposition leader, murdered by Putin 2 years ago, would have been 50 today.

At Borisovskoe cemetery, security controls were set up.

Navalny's parents, Lyudmila +Anatoly Navalny, attended the memorial service.

[رضوانہ رضا @Rizvana_Raza]

🇷🇺 On what would have been the 50th birthday of Alexei Navalny, an audiobook edition of his memoir Patriot has been released, offering listeners a personal account of his final years.

The book brings together reflections written after the 2020 poisoning that nearly killed him, along with diary entries recorded during his imprisonment between 2021 and 2022. Through these writings, Navalny documented his recovery, political convictions, and life behind bars.

Navalny died on February 16, 2024, while serving a sentence in the Arctic penal colony known as "Polar Wolf" in Russia’s Yamal region. His allies later claimed that investigations pointed to poisoning by epibatidine, an extremely toxic substance associated with a species of South American tree frog.

The release of Patriot in audio form serves as a tribute to one of Russia’s most prominent opposition figures and ensures that his own words continue to reach audiences around the world.
