A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

What sucks is when you have to get that much plastic surgery for your job but you get fired and they don’t let you return your face to the store

How an underground fungal map of the world's oldest, slowest-growing rainforest trees can boost Earth's resilience The temperate rainforests of the Chilean Coast Range are home to a spectacular array of life: iridescent blue lizards, tiny wild cats called kodkods, and curly vines of waxy red bellflowers. Towering ...

Globally, mycorrhizal fungal communities move roughly a billion tons of carbon per year into Earth's soils, above all in old-growth forests.

Wild, natural ecosystems are the bedrock of a healthy planet. It's time we started recognising and acting on that.

Costa Rica gets back to nature after decades of deforestation Paying farmers to swap cattle for conservation has helped sway the balance in biodiversity’s favour

"Ireland’s staggering lack of national ambition on nature, #climate is in marked contrast to Costa Rica, which despite having a fraction of our wealth, has been able to meet fundamental needs of its citizens while respecting nature."

Hi folks, these days, when someone is having a health issue, it's referred to as an "opportunity," so let's go with that – I'm having one of those. It's also called a type of cancer that's “treatable” not "curable." I apologize if that's a shock – it was to
me too.
The good news is, I'm not gonna go into any more detail. I'm posting this, because professionally, a few things will have to change - appearances and cons and work in general need to take back seat to treatment.
My plan is to get as well as I possibly can over the summer so that I can tour with my new movie Ernie & Emma this fall.
There are several cons this year summer that I have to cancel. Big regrets on my part. Treatment needs and professional obligations don't always go hand-in-hand.
That's about it. I'm not trying enlist sympathy-or advice-Ijust want to get ahead of this information in case false information gets out (which it will).
Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-bitch and I have great support, so I expect to be around a while.
As always, you're the greatest fans in the world and I hope to see you soon!
Much love,
Bruce Campbell

The cover of The Complete Persepolis by Marianne Satrapi.

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

One of my favourite poems, The Heron by Francis Harvey

He alights: furls his wings like a wet umbrella, settles,
Rapt and murderous,
Drying out in the wind and sun on the edge of a tarn
Or hunched over a pool in a burn pretending he's
A blind one-legged beggarman or a mystic communing with God.

Playgrounds would become 'crack dens' if Greens were in power, policing minister says

I’m sorry, I know it’s a minor point, but crack dens are traditionally indoor establishments. What the scaremongering Labour minister is describing here is a crack paddock.

John Collison, who uncritically interviewed Musk recently www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p... should be asked about that interview and his view on the fascist-tendencies of some tech billionaires in future business section interviews (I am always open to interviewing either of the Collison brothers)

Maybe they could start by not posting on a racist website. If you look at their account stats on X: their posts normally get around 20K view. Their post about Edwin Edogbo got _7 milllion_ views. Organizations still there are opening their employees to racist abuse for publicity.

You never hear anyone say
A 15 year old man
An underage man.....
Why?
Because they're not men. They're boys.
Just as 15 year old girls are girls.
