Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

Shifting profits? Inside Tesla’s tax tactics in the Netherlands Tesla is facing increasingly negative press, with falling sales globally attributed in part to the polarising politics of its CEO Elon Musk. The electric vehicle pioneer’s tax affairs have also come u...

Tesla runs a subsidiary in Amsterdam – one that, on paper, resembles a giant car factory. It pulled in €26 billion in revenue last year, nearly a third of the company’s global turnover. But Tesla builds no car there – and pays almost no corporate tax in the Netherlands.

If I understand this correctly, the US president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU and China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada and Greenland, but is powerless before the sovereign might of El Salvador. Is that it?

This is a very good point. About a very feeble excuse.

"Recoup the costs" The sadism of American policy to war-torn Ukraine

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony.

At first glance, I thought: great!

Until I remembered the subversion of the Situationist practice of β€˜derive’ and β€˜dΓ©tournement’ by Israeli military in the beginning of 2000s.

The cover of the book Parable of the Sower.

The cover of the book Parable of the Sower.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."

She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.
