@JamesMelville Scotland won 1-0 against Haiti. John McGinn scored the only goal in the 28th minute (a deflected shot), securing Scotland's first World Cup win in 36 years (and their opening Group C match). The game was at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."

The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.

Here's what's happening:

Quietly, hoping no one will notice, SF Mayor Daniel Lurie is dissolving SF Pretrial—a 50-year community-based public safety program—& handing its entire budget to armed probation officers on July 1.

No hearing. No vote on the merits. A scandal.

A true “high art meets pop culture” moment 🇺🇸✨

When Rudolf Nureyev appeared on The Muppet Show, it wasn’t just TV—it was history.

One of the greatest ballet dancers of all time stepping into a playful, chaotic world of comedy and puppetry, proving that classical art can be both elite and wildly entertaining 🩰🎭

A rare crossover that American audiences still talk about today—timeless, unexpected, unforgettable.

Puget Sound / Olympia, Washington area (Eld Inlet), where two massive ''Steller sea lions'' decided to take over a small sailboat while someone was out fishing.

These two look like large adult males (or one big male and a large female). Together, that's like 10 big men casually lounging on a small sailboat — no wonder it's sitting so low in the water and listing to one side!

For comparison: A typical male California sea lion (the ones you see at piers in California) is much smaller: ~300 kg / 660 lb. on average, max around 350–400 kg.

Lo ocurrido hoy en Estados Unidos parece que estuvo a punto de convertirse en un golpe militar.
Más de 30 generales se negaron a acatar las órdenes de Trump de invadir Irán por tierra. Hasta el momento, 12 de ellos han sido destituidos, incluido el jefe del Estado Mayor Conjunto.

Dr. Birute’ ~ the savior of orangutans has left the planet. I am grateful for her dedication, hard work and kindness. We must all defend the natural world. We are part of it; we don’t own it. All life is precious and supporting diversity is the key to keeping our planet healthy.

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

I am devastated to share the news that one of my heroes — and a woman who has had an enormous impact on wildlife conservation — Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas has died.

She was 79.

I feel so grateful that I had the honor of spending time with her.

Over the years, I have connected with so many of you over my love of orangutans (and elephants and mountain gorillas, of course); Dr. Biruté gets all the credit.

Orangutans would likely be extinct were it not for Dr. Biruté’s pioneering and exhaustive work over the last six decades.

Dr. Biruté was one of three women handpicked and mentored by legendary paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey to transform our understanding of the great apes.

Jane Goodall studied chimpanzees, Dian Fossey studied gorillas, and Dr. Biruté dedicated her life to orangutans, and together they revolutionized primatology and the case for great ape intelligence, emotional depth, and conservation.

While Jane Goodall proved that chimpanzees use tools, form complex social bonds, and possess a capacity for empathy once thought uniquely human, Dr. Biruté proved that orangutans are slow-breeding, highly intelligent, and extremely vulnerable.

Dr. Biruté built the conservation model to try to save orangutans and dedicated her life to protecting them.

Dr. Biruté is credited with conducting the longest-running longitudinal study by one principal investigator of any wild mammal in the world.

She was the first to document the long orangutan birth interval, which averaged 7.7 years, and recorded over 400 types of food consumed by orangutans.

Dr. Biruté’s research that fundamentally reshaped how scientists understood orangutans.

Before her field studies, the orangutan was the least understood of the great apes.

The orangutan population as it exists today, as fragile as it is, would not exist without her.

Many conservationists go as far as saying the orangutan, our cousin, would likely be extinct or close to extinct were it not for Dr. Biruté’s discoveries and her sacrifice.

Dr. Biruté took on palm oil conglomerates, illegal loggers, poachers, and gold miners.

She did so often at great personal risk, including death threats and kidnapping,

She remained in Borneo for over 40 years as an outspoken advocate for orangutans and the preservation of their rainforest habitat.

In 1986, she founded Orangutan Foundation International, with sister organizations established in Australia, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom.

We owe so much to Dr. Biruté and her incredible legacy.

Listen to me very carefully. This is John Kirkiakou. I know him well. And you should get to know him, too. He's an American patriot, and the only ex-spook I'd ever vouch for. 14 years CIA. Mid-East Analysis. Chief of Counter-terrorism after 9-11. He took down Abu Zubaydah. Then the Feds tried to kill him, and when that failed, put him in prison for being a patriot.

Kirkiakou here confirms what I've been telling you for months. "Israel has a nuke to our heads." Since 1973, they've had the U.S. over a barrel to either support their bloodlust agenda in the region or face the prospects of nuclear war. We have been their hostage.

And according to Kirkiakou, Israel told Trump plainly: bomb Iran, or WE will do it with nukes. This is the Samson Protocol, and I told you about it over and over again. That psychopathic war cult is playing a game of nuclear chicken with us.

You've got to understand. Every nuclear expert on Earth concedes that if one nuke flies, they all do. It is highly unlikely there could ever be a one-sided nuclear strike. That's not how the world works. Israel is playing with the lives of every person on Earth because they worship Mesopotamian blood demons.

Our biggest problem is not Islamic extremism. Our biggest problem is Israelis with nukes strapped around their nation's waist like a Jewish suicide vest. And if you don't think that little God-forsaken desert trailer park hasn't made the greatest nation on earth their proxy and vassal state, you're wrong.

It's like the beginning of an apocalypse: Russia has attacked Kostyantynivka with banned phosphorus, which incinerates all living things, and dropped a FAB-1500 bomb on the city.

I know this is not really the place for book reviews- but 'Bitch' by zoologist Lucy Cooke, is a must read. She debunks the idea that female animals are naturally passive or monogamous & argues that Charles Darwin & subsequent scientists projected sexist Victorian-era biases onto nature, incorrectly framing females as secondary to dominant, aggressive males, flagging outdated binary expectations of bodies, brains, biology and behaviour.
