European colonialists decimated Africa’s elephant population. They also literally hunted species like the quagga and the bluebuck to extinction.
Before European colonization, Africa is estimated to have had well over 20 million elephants. By 1970, that number had fallen to around 1.3 million. Today, fewer than 500,000 remain.
The ivory trade, commercial hunting, trophy hunting, and colonial expansion inflicted one of the greatest wildlife catastrophes in human history.
@_EdenJohnson@wearegst@BudgITng This one you're checking is going too far. If they actually dug the boreholes, then it would be a problem. But rn we both know not 1 would be dug and the 213m per borehole will still be paid for with our money.

You are not too big to get a job. Tom Blomfield co-founded GoCardless. Then he co-founded Monzo and ran it as CEO. Two companies, $9b dollars in combined peak value. Then YC, and now joined Anthropic. Why not you?

Are you all fucking lobotomized???
It doesn’t matter if the man killed by ICE in Maine was authorized to work in the United States or not. It doesn’t matter if he had a social security or not. ICE should not be killing anyone. Period.
The number of allegations involving women, nakedness, towels, violence, & death around @realdaveumahi is both implausible & staggering. Is there a haunting smell of ritual morbidity around him?
I’m crying this is a 27 min documentary in 4K highlighting all of Argentina’s robberies this World Cup 😭😭😭😭
But I was told that it was just a conspiracy theory
