A Danish scientist counted bugs on the same windshield, same road, same conditions, every year for 20 years. By year 20, 80% of the insects were gone.

In Germany, a group of volunteer bug scientists did something even bigger. They set traps in 63 nature reserves, not farms, protected land, and weighed everything they caught. Same traps, same method, 27 years straight. The total weight of flying bugs dropped 76%. In midsummer, when insects should be peaking, it was 82% gone. A follow-up in 2020 and 2021 checked again. No recovery.

In the UK, they literally ask drivers to count splats on their license plates after a trip. The 2024 count came back 63% lower than just 2021. Three years.

A 2020 study pulled together 166 surveys from 1,676 locations around the world. Land insects are disappearing at roughly 9% every ten years.

Here’s where it hits your plate. About 75% of the food crops we grow depend on insects to pollinate them, everything from apples to almonds to coffee. One 2025 study modeled what a full pollinator collapse would look like: food prices jump 30%, the global economy takes a $729 billion hit, and the world loses 8% of its Vitamin A supply.

Birds are already feeling it. North America has lost 2.9 billion birds since 1970. A study from just weeks ago found half of 261 bird species on the continent are now in serious decline, and the losses are speeding up in farming regions. The birds that eat insects lost 2.9 billion. The birds that don’t eat insects? They gained 26 million. That ratio tells the whole story.

One of the German researchers behind the 27-year study drives a Land Rover. He says it has the aerodynamics of a refrigerator. It stays clean now.

I’m sorry you cannot convince me otherwise that our own government is planning an attack on their own citizens to justify this war.

Every week, a tech executive goes onstage to tell the world they’re deliberately making the world worse because it will make them money

[Bark @barkmeta]

Let me get this straight…

OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.”

Then he raised billions of dollars.

Then he closed the source code.

Then he converted to for-profit.

Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone.

Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models.

Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter.

He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it…

Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

The Epstein class sees us as their slaves.

[davey @jerseyh0mo]

They robbed us blind and told us that our neighbors were the enemy. All that culture war shit was a diversion to distract us from the largest wealth transfer in history.

[Hassan Mafi ‏ @thatdayin1992]

Americans realizing thier gov has been illegally taxing their groceries for over a year and pedophile billionaires are getting the refund instead of them

[Sarah Everett @goddammitsarah]

"we have learned nothing and we offer nothing and we will adhere to this strategy forever" - the democratic party

[Hassan Mafi ‏ @thatdayin1992]

Americans realizing they can go to prison for criticizing ICE but every pedophile in the Epstein files is still free

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

this isn’t about the entire democratic party but are we really memory holing the first month after kamala’s loss when prominent establishment dems came out and instantly blamed trans people for the electoral defeat? where is your paystub? why defend the dnc for free?

[sav 🕷 🔆 @armadillogie]

@Puckmeat it feels both bio-essentialist and detached from reality. as if trans ppl transition in a vacuum, wholly removed from any outside influences. yeah, man. I want to be compared to cıs women. it came free with my f*cking gender dysphoria

[jonpants 𓆇 @jonpant]

if you still have a ring camera, destroy it.

they're not going to use it to find your stupid dog. they're going to use it to hunt down people.

[onion person @CantEverDie]

genuinely a bad sign for whatever this project will be. went in on a meme that’s already way past its life cycle, the easily got shamed into pivoting away from it by people dunking on their bad instincts

[JerryRigEverything @ZacksJerryRig]

Not so fun fact:

Trump cant even run a charity anymore since his foundation was caught illegally using donations earmarked for veterans and kids with cancer to enrich himself and his family.

All of trumps own kids had to go to court appointed mandatory training - and his foundation was dissolved by a court order. And this was all *DURING* his previous term as president in 2019.

He's a liar.

[India Willoughby @IndiaWilloughby]

The Epstein Files reveal he seeded and funded the culture wars. Which means the explosion of single-issue trans hate fronts that suddenly appeared - all disguised as ‘women’s rights’ groups (sick) - owe their existence to the biggest paedophile and abuser of women in history.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

This is insane.
If we accept this we are lost forever.

[cursed @cursedhat]

everyone is becoming desensitized to the fact this man is a pedophile. he’s a pedophile, a human trafficker, a rapist. i know you’re tired but don’t stop being angry. heads need to roll for this.

[Cheri Jacobus @CheriJacobus]

This is the monster enabling and covering up the rape of underage girls.
This is the monster facilitating the execution of Americans legally recording ICE activities.
This is the monster lying for a traitor and Putin asset.
This is the monster jailing journalists doing their jobs.
@AGPamBondi is a monster. Treat her accordingly for the rest of her miserable life.

[Amber Woods @AmberWoods100]

Since I’m closely covering Epstein survivors, I want to make this absolutely clear:

I am not suicidal.
I have no ideations.
I have never attempted to harm myself.
I’m not involved in CSAM.
I don’t drink alcohol or use illegal substances. I’m a skilled driver.

If anything unusual happens to me while reporting on this case, it must be investigated.

Follow along for coverage legacy media won’t touch.

I’ll be going live from the Epstein Survivors Conference in DC Sept 3 from Capitol Hill, in my continued effort to amplify survivor voices.

Today is Sept 2 and I’m thankful to be alive and well 👇
