The rancher who loves wolves A rare story of coexistence in the American West — where one rancher proves that raising livestock and protecting wolves, prairie dogs, and the land itself are not mutually exclusive.

In a land that celebrates the colonizer, the usurper, the destroyer, our organization is dedicated to the proposition that humanity can coexist with nature instead of throttling it. And we salute the decades of successful efforts of one of the leading – and one of the only – regenerative ranchers.

Why María Machado Deserved the Nobel Peace Prize The Venezuelan opposition leader shows why participation matters.

Nobel Peace Prizes have often been awarded to people who fight autocracy. Maria Corina Machado fits right into that tradition

Hitler AND Stalin at the same time. Purges, gulags, show trials, all the things.

This is really embarrassing. And it shows how isolated they have him. The man holding the most powerful office in the history of the world is outside of reality. If Miller told him China launched a nuke… that’d probably be the end of it.

If anything is scary, it’s that.

Looks like it's a bighorn day.

Oh and if you get a chance follow the link and please do consider a small donation tonight. My illness cost me that part time thing that was keeping me above water and things are, difficult at the moment while I await surgery.
Thank you ;-)

When musicians don’t know how to end a song, they just fade out. I think other writers should do that too. Sketch comedy, screenwriting, playwrights. Have everyone talk softer and softer as they slowly sneak off stage.
Novelists can end chapters with gradually shrinking type.

"I voted for you 3 times but I didn't vote for this".
Oh fuck off, this is EXACTLY what you voted for. There were millions of people warning you what was coming, we showed you the playbook. Your response was "fuck your feelings, libtard, hahaha".
I'll warn you again, it's gonna get much much worse.

I love the smell of old books. When I open to a random page and sniff the yellowing pages, it brings me such joy. Then my science brain thinks about all the mites and dust I just inhaled, and I give thanks for nose hairs. Win win!

Okay, I just read that when polled 74% of American parents admitted to stealing some of their children's Halloween candy. And I am shocked--SHOCKED!--the number is so low.

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours.

Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

Rather remarkable that the Trump administration response to a government shutdown is "let's inflict as much pain as possible on as many Americans as possible"
