A perfect giant dandelion flower.

A side view of the biggest dandelion flower.

The perfect dandelion flower with a quarter on top of it to show its size. An Olympic medal may have actually covered it.

Throwback to the biggest, most perfect dandelion bloom ever. Things are so stupid and evil right now, but the flowers will still grow and that’s pretty nice. 🌱

Remember, when we wanted more renewable energy to reduce fossil fuels and tackle the climate crisis, we were sneered at and dismissed as ‘fantasists’.

Yet, when tech billionaires want solar to power the AI data centres stealing people’s jobs, the right can’t get enough of it.

Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it"

Not receiving consent and moving forward anyway is a consistent theme in his life — as E. Jean Carroll can attest

A few hours

Can you find all four deer relaxing in the backyard?

If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.

The MAGA who regret voting for Trump, will 100% vote for the next Trump regardless of how much of a racist bigot he is.

They haven't actually learned their lesson. They're just mad they're getting hurt too.

These people didn't vote FOR Trump, they voted AGAINST vulnerable communities.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but South Koreans took 6 hours to stop their insurrection, 10 days to impeach the president behind it, and just 6 weeks to convict him. He was sentenced to life in prison 2 weeks ago. Their country's stock market shot up 10%.

Exactly 💯

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

Benjamin Netanyahu played Dufus Trump like a well worn guitar! But then Trump is a jackass anyway. We are now fighting Israel’s war against Arabs.
