Jane Goodall, world-renowned primatologist, dies aged 91
Jane Goodall Institute says ‘tireless advocate’ for natural world died in California during US speaking tour

A great soul if ever there was one

![Comic. [Two people on shore looking at body of water] PERSON 1: Hey, where’s that big island we were looking at this morning? PERSON 2 with short hair: Oh, it’s underwater. The ocean’s depth here goes up and down by like ten feet every day. PERSON 1: What? PERSON 2: It’s because the planet has a big moon orbiting near the surface. It causes weird gravity effects. PERSON 1: *What???* [caption] People here are used to them, but tides are one of the weirdest and most sci-fi elements of life on Earth.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreidj2tdqhkgoamiqf5reqt7kvbpt26x3cgjxsp4rtwwb46qumcltdq@jpeg)

Im Hintergrund schaut ein Frau in einen Raum und sagt mit abgeklärtem Blick: "Das Badezimmer ist ja blitzsauber. Bedeutet das also ...". Im Vordergrund liegt ein Mann auf dem Sofa, sieht fern und unterbricht angenervt: "Die Steuererklärung mache ich morgen!"
Guten Morgen!

unpopular opinion: das war zwar eine saudumme und komplett überflüssige aktion, die in kritischen zeiten das völlig falsche signal gesendet hat, ABER...: dann hat's halt einen zweiten wahlgang gebraucht. dafür steht das so im GG.
