Challenge: pick a corner of your lawn and stop mowing it for the rest of the summer. See what pops up and makes it home.

Clover, violets, self-heal, and wild strawberry might already be in your grass waiting for exactly this. Within a couple weeks, flowers will pop up. Within a month you'll have more insects and small animals visiting.

In the fall, it'll be there to provide important overwintering habitat.

The lawn is already full of habitat. Let it grow.

Shameless Russian vatniks exploit disabled kids to get gasoline.
This whorc is bragging that she "rented" a disabled kid to buy gasoline ahead of queue.

Fish oil is the world's favourite supplement, sold as pure, fresh, bottled heart-health. Here is the label against the lab test.

As sold:

- Pure and fresh
- Heart-protective
- Concentrated omega-3
- What the label claims, in every capsule

What testing keeps finding:

- In one study, 83% of fish oil products exceeded recommended oxidation levels. They were rancid.
- Only 8% met all the oxidation limits
- Only 3 of 32 products actually contained the omega-3 their label claimed; most held under two thirds of it
- Norway: over 90% exceeded oxidation limits. Children's products were among the worst.
- The big prevention trials found no drop in heart attacks or strokes in the general population

So a large share of the capsules are oxidised oil, under-dosed against their own label, and doing nothing for the heart they were bought to protect.

You paid a premium for rancid oil in a fish-shaped shell.

Skip the capsule. Eat the actual fish, or the eggs, and keep your money.

The photograph was taken by photojournalist David Turnley during the Siege of Sarajevo.

It shows Bosnian sniper Nadia Jeriagic aiming a rifle at Serbian snipers in the mountains from her position on the 20th floor of a Sarajevo building.

Jeriagic, who worked a regular shift sniping at Serbs, had been an artist before the war.

The eighteenth to twentieth floors offered long sightlines across intersections that had become k*ll zones, which snipers on both sides fought to control as civilians sprinted across them clutching bags of food or buckets of water.

In 2015, ISIS captured Palmyra and demanded its head of antiquities reveal where the treasures were hidden.

He was 81 years old. He refused.

Khaled al-Asaad had spent over 50 years excavating and protecting Palmyra, the caravan city that once rivalled Rome in the Syrian desert.

He learned Aramaic to read its inscriptions. He raised his children among its ruins and named his daughter Zenobia, after its rebel queen.

Before the city fell, he helped evacuate hundreds of artefacts to safety. ISIS interrogated him for weeks to find them. But he gave them nothing.

They executed him in the square and left his body among the columns he had spent his life defending.

Archaeology is not a soft profession. Sometimes the people who guard the past die for it.

Some lions were about to hunt a baby buffalo.

The mother went to defend it.

And when it seemed they were going to eat them both, the whole herd fell.

Disgusting Russian tactic: Loading school buses with soldiers and driving them to the front. Then crying 'terrorism' when drones hit them. They kill kids daily but weaponize any strike for propaganda.

Absolute scum.

🇷🇺 russischen Flughäfen geht das Kerosin aus – eine OSINT-Karte zeigt jetzt landesweit, wo Jets gar nicht mehr und wo nur noch limitiert betankt werden.
Per NOTAM-Meldung an Piloten gelten Betankungslimits u.a. in Machatschkala, Mineralnyje Wody, Krasnodar, Astrachan und Nischni Nowgorod. In Machatschkala: 8 Tonnen für Dubai, 3,5 für Minsk – keine Reserve darüber hinaus.
Schon Ende Mai teilten Lieferanten den Airlines mit, dass in St. Petersburg, Jekaterinburg und Ufa unter bestehenden Verträgen nicht mehr betankt werden kann.
Der Börsenhandel mit Kerosin steht seit Anfang Mai praktisch still, der Großhandelspreis stieg um 52 Prozent auf Rekordniveau. Moskau verhängte ein Kerosin-Exportverbot bis Ende November.
Die Moskauer Raffinerie fällt nach Drohnentreffern rund sechs Monate aus – Usbekistans Staatsairline streicht bereits Moskau-Flüge.
Erst die Zapfsäulen, dann die Tanker im Asowschen Meer, jetzt die Rollfelder. Die ukrainische Raffinerie-Kampagne erreicht die dritte Dimension: Russlands Treibstoffkrise gilt nun zu Land, zu Wasser und in der Luft.

Browder: Putin stole too much money. He knows one day a million people march on Red Square — and it won't be an elegant exit, it'll be violent and bloody for him personally.

He can kill Navalny, kill Nemtsov, imprison individuals. But not a million people.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

KELLOGG: Putin just wants power. He's lost 1.2 to 1.4 million soldiers. Numbers are astronomical. We as Americans would never accept that. He's doing this for power and to occupy all of Ukraine. But he can't, and he's not winning. I think he's worried about his own survival now.

Trump calling 2024 a ‘LANDSLIDE’? 😂

Delusional.

He won the popular vote by ~2 points — one of the smallest margins for a winner in modern history.

Barely squeaked key swing states.

No blowout, no mandate.

Lost popular vote twice before. ‘Historic win’ against a weak opponent after Biden’s disaster?

Media credibility?

Trump’s is tanking with the exaggeration.
Facts over ego. 🇺🇸

[Mykhailo Rohoza @MykhailoRohoza]

🧐🤔Putin was presented with a painting in China.

First of all, Xi Jinping is depicted as almost twice the size of Putin.

Secondly, Xi is walking ahead, while Putin follows behind him.

Thirdly, Xi is looking forward, while Putin is looking at him.

Fourth, Xi appears calm and confident, while Putin looks like he’s trying to catch up — more of a companion than an equal.

And overall, it makes it pretty clear who the “big brother” is and who the “little brother” is.

A very strong piece of trolling.

"They suck the welfare system dry, outbreed to become a majority, lobby for their own laws and take over."

British Muslims experience higher rates of unemployment and reliance on benefits compared to the general population.

We are literally paying to be replaced.

Russia killed a 13-year-old girl in Sumy today. She was near a public transport stop when Russia struck the city with guided aerial bombs.

Four men were also killed: one was a bus driver, and the other three were standing near the stop.

At least 30 people were injured.

Russia deliberately struck crowded areas.

Russia is a terrorist state.

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

Russia's giant size is no longer strategic depth, but an enormous weakness.
Long transportation is needed & can be attacked anywhere.
Russia can only defend a few spots.
Ukraine has invalidated Russia's whole strategy since the Napoleonic wars.

This month the Energy Secretary approved his third large solar farm in a fortnight, one of them on prime farmland across Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire that his own inspectors told him to refuse. They walked the site. They said no. He signed it anyway.

So here's the grand plan. Take some of the best food-growing soil in England, ground that has fed people for a thousand years, and bury it under glass panels shipped in from China to catch the famous Lincolnshire sunshine. In a country where the sun knocks off mid-afternoon for half the winter and turns up for roughly eleven per cent of the year, we are concreting over arable land to harvest photons that mostly aren't there.

A British solar field spends most of its life doing an impression of a very expensive greenhouse with the plants missing. The panels tilt hopefully at a grey sky. The soil beneath them, some of the finest in the country, sits in the dark for forty years quietly learning to be a car park.

And it doesn't come back. Not in your lifetime. They are making a permanent decision about a temporary energy fashion, on ground you cannot un-glass, against the written advice of the men they pay to give it, in the same fortnight the same government swears food security keeps it awake at night.

Sunniest idea they've had all year.
