I can't figure out if vaccines work or not.

Tough one.

Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

The first one of these I’ve actually liked. Stephen Hawking is hilarious. “Ha ha ha ha ha ha”

That's it. That's the best picture from Saturday's No Kings protests in the USA.

The literal Statue of Liberty being detained by police. It doesn't get much more poetic than this.

It’s a correct summary.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

California's Central Valley produces 80% of the world's almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers.

One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy milk at 8 gallons of tap water per gallon, with the rest being rainfall that falls on pasture anyway.

But here's where it gets properly grim. Almonds bloom for exactly three weeks in February. During those three weeks, California needs every pollinating bee in North America transported to the Central Valley or the crop fails entirely.

Commercial beekeepers truck in 31 billion honeybees. That's two-thirds of America's entire managed bee population, all concentrated in one valley for three weeks. The bees are packed into trucks, driven across the country, dumped into almond groves drenched in pesticides, worked to exhaustion, then packed up and shipped to the next crop.

The mortality rate is catastrophic. Beekeepers report losing 30 to 50% of their hives annually. That's billions of bees dead. Not from natural causes. From being used as disposable pollination machines for your almond milk.

The pesticides don't help. Almond groves are sprayed with neonicotinoids which scramble bee navigation systems, fungicides which weaken their immune systems, and herbicides which eliminate the wildflowers they'd normally forage on between almond blooms.

Meanwhile the aquifer depletion is permanent. The Central Valley has sunk 28 feet in some areas from groundwater extraction. That water took 10,000 years to accumulate. It's being drained in decades for almond milk.

Your vegan latte killed more bees and used more water than a year's worth of dairy milk. But it's got "plant-based" on the label so you're definitely saving the planet.

When Lavrov says Ukrainian land was always theirs, he's admitting that russia never planned to uphold the multiple agreements they signed ratifying Ukraine's 1991 borders.

It's another reminder that agreements with russia are worthless. Remember that.

[Olga Tokariuk @olgatokariuk]

When I try to explain how Russia has been trying to destroy Ukrainian identity and culture for ages, I often mention the story of poet Vasyl Stus. He died in a Soviet gulag in 1985, the year I was born, the year of Perestroika. Here's more about him https://t.co/iyOnZnnawh

Ser at ytre høyre, særlig Document, prøver å distansere seg fra drapsmannen ved å kalle ham “utlending”. Men han kom hit fra Tyskland som barn, vokste opp i Norge og ble radikalisert her av SIAN, Lysglimt & co. Han deler deres ideologi.

Man må være svært dystopisk og konspiratorisk anlagt for å hevde at Islam tar over Storbritannia. Den utilslørte rasismen som følger slike tankemønstre er skremmende.

[FairAndBalanced @KSteigen]

Det har aldri i historien vært vanskeligere og mindre troverdig, å hevde at man ikke visste om et folkemord. Husk det.

So let me get this straight,

The FBI, the justice department, and every Republican in congress are working together to protect a pedophile, and that pedophile is the President of the United States?

How is this not the biggest scandal in American history?
