New cat species discovered in over 100 years
Scientists have identified Leopardus tilcayo, a tiny wild cat found in Bolivia’s Yungas forests. The discovery began with a wildlife sanctuary reporting a “weird cat” and was later confirmed through genetic research
*BRILLIANT*
The French made a short film about what could happen after all immigrants would follow the ‘_white, angry old man’s_’ advice to go back where they came from.*
Having covered Mladic's monstrous crimes in real time, I had dared to hope Serbia would not do this. I had hoped that today's young Serbs' dreams of joining Europe, being in the democracy and human rights club, might add an element of common sense, morality and restraint. But must we now conclude this IS who Serbia wants to be? A nation aligned with, and honouring, a convicted war criminal, a mass murderer, guilty of the most heinous crime under the sun: genocide. How could the system, including the church, allow this?

Extremely rich people who are improving the world for the disadvantaged are truly deserving of wealth. Dolly Parton's efforts to improve literacy across disadvantaged America can't be praised enough. Here is the annual number of books distributed by her Imagination Library. Source: https://t.co/ckGd4ccfjD
"London Calling" was released in 1979 as the title track and lead single from The Clash's third studio album, London Calling. Produced by Guy Stevens, the song fused punk rock with reggae, rockabilly, ska and other influences, showcasing the band's increasingly diverse musical style. It reached No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was also released as a single in the United States, although it failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100.
Despite its relatively modest chart performance, "London Calling" became one of The Clash's most iconic songs and has since been regarded as one of the defining recordings of the punk era.
The Croatian term “fjaka” is defined as complete relaxation or the art of doing nothing.
“Fjaka” is something that can’t be learned; rather, you must experience it to awaken its meaning.
Let’s all commit to making “Fjaka Fridays” a thing, okay?
Here is what I believe.
We have been separated by people who profit from our separation.
That is the business model. Keep us apart and sell us the fight.
Here is what that separation does.
People stop talking. They stop talking, so they stop knowing each other. They stop knowing each other, so they fear each other. They fear each other, so they hate each other. You break that chain at the first link, not the last.
I also believe there is one true existential threat to this democracy and his name is Donald Trump.
So I will sit down with anyone who has a platform and sees in Trump what I see.
That is why I sat down with Nick Fuentes. His views on race and women are antithetical to mine. What he has said about the Holocaust and Nazism is indefensible. He is also demonstrably persuasive and he has a bullhorn that no amount of cancellation has taken from him. A million-plus people listen to him. I wanted to hear it myself instead of reading what I am supposed to think about it.
Nick and I agree on almost nothing. We agree on Trump.
Nothing else we argue about matters if Trump is not stopped. And the people who see what he is do not all think like me. If your standard is that everyone who opposes him has to agree with you first, you have already handed him the country.
I will take one piece of common ground over ten more years of shouting across the same street.
🚨🩸Dandelions Desperation EMERGENCY APPEAL –THIS LITTLE GINGER BOY IS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE🩸🚨
Sometimes one message changes everything.
Earlier today we received the following message from a vet practice:
"We have a 2–3 month old stray ginger kitten that needs urgent help...
We keep waiting for someone to invent a machine that cleans the air, stores carbon, produces oxygen and grows food.
We already did.
It’s called a tree.
Hi, Chemist here.
Some people think chemistry is just about what atoms a molecule contains.
It isn’t.
It’s also about how those atoms are arranged in 3D space.
The active ingredient in a Vicks inhaler is L-methamphetamine.
Street meth is D-methamphetamine.
Same atoms.
Same bonds.
One subtle change in three-dimensional shape.
One clears your nose.
The other powerfully stimulates your brain.
That’s why chemists don’t judge molecules by their names.
Structure determines function.
Dose makes the poison.
Hi all!
I was moaning to one of my neighbours the other night about how I hadn’t been listening to any new music. Like a couple of old codgers, we were. Then I went indoors and turned on Jools Holland. How much do I love that guy!
Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.
Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.
Awesome 22 degree solar halo over Stonehenge today 🌈☀️ Photo credit Nick Bull 🙏
A 22° halo is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a halo with an apparent radius of approximately 22° around the Sun or Moon. Around the Sun, it may also be called a sun halo Around the Moon, it is also known as a moon ring, storm ring, or winter halo. It forms as sunlight or moonlight is refracted by millions of hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Its radius, as viewed from Earth, is roughly the length of an outstretched hand at arm's length.
