After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @MagnumGlobal #FreeBenAndJerrys

I teach Vertebrate Zoology.

Fun fact: scientists are learning that actually eliminating these large, charismatic "trophy" mammals, even if problematic, has complex, downstream negative social effects on the herds/groups. And the money made "for conservation" doesn't offset them.

propaganda we're not falling for:
- there's no nature in urban areas
- we already know everything about plants & animals
- nature photography requires expensive camera equipment
- you need a degree to contribute to science
- you need to travel far to see interesting species

The situation in the Gaza Strip is increasingly worrying and painful. I renew my heartfelt appeal to allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to bring an end to the hostilities, whose heart-rending price is borne by children, the elderly, and the sick.

Begging leftists to please learn about ecology

Like why are you my biggest op when it comes to outdoor cat debates

[DragonsofWales @DragonsofWales]

Seeing so many posts from people - friends and strangers - affected by the court ruling today in Scotland.

So for clarity:
Trans women are women.
Trans men are men.
Trans rights are human rights.

This is not a debate, this is non-negotiable. Block me if you want. IDGAF.

After much reflection, I think I know what bothers me most about the Dire Wolf thing: it feels to me like Colossal’s press releases are dependent on public ignorance/misunderstanding of the science. Instead of seeking to educate, they are exploiting that lack of knowledge. (1/2)

[New Scientist @newscientist]

De-extinction company Colossal Biosciences claims to have brought back the dire wolf – it hasn’t. https://t.co/gRdo13LYSe

@JonathanDBos accurate language in scicomms is essential for restoring trust between researchers and the public

[New Scientist @newscientist]

No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction https://t.co/xFbiXgbcOI

“Look and act like dire wolves?”

Motherf@cker unless you have a Time Machine you’re not telling us about, no one alive knows how they looked or acted

[Mimi Habib @MimiHabib1]

@Goji_Saurus that’s fine but they don’t need to lie about what they’ve created

[Mimi Habib @MimiHabib1]

@colossal omfg I’m crashing out why are you lying

[The Morrison Man | Tim @TimVersteeg4]

1) Repeating here that these are NOT DIRE WOLVES!

The real animal, Aenocyon dirus, looked nothing like a grey wolf. The last common ancestor of both animals lived five million years ago, and the news articles about these 'de-extincted' animals tell us no actual Aenocyon DNA was

This is what uncontrolled burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, unregulated mineral mining, the use of GenAI, and the genocides committed by the West are doing to the people and land in Africa.
Africans are exploited for the comfort of Westerners yet pay the steepest price.

I’ve just got back in from a walk on the heath and despite these signs being up I must have encountered a dozen or so dogs and their owners. Of all those dogs, only one dog was on a lead. All the others were free to wander wherever they wanted. Put your dog on a lead please 🙏
