A fluffy seed head of goldenrod, and a thing of exquisite beauty.

Rich yellow flowers in the late summer, now airborne carriers of new life for the forest floor.

Understanding the philosophy of the far-right Before it can be refuted, and defeated, the far-right is a movement that needs to be understood, writes Vittorio Bufacchi

Excellent piece by @vittorio66.bsky.social on the motivation and key traits of the far-right (not only) in Ireland. "Ur-Fascism grows up and seeks for consensus by exploiting and exacerbating the natural fear of difference." as Umberto Eco wrote. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

The winter nudity of an Irish rainforest very much has its own special charm. Like a sleeping lover.

Sure

There are so many more problems than cost and dirt.

Nuclear power: at its fastest can be built in 10 years. Usually 15 years.

By 2033 it is ALREADY FAR TOO LATE.

There’s no point in building more nuclear. Keep existing ones sure. But invest in solar and wind (extremely cheap & fast).

Thanks

reminder that national geographic was gutted and all staff writers fired so the brand could be turned into a clothing store

Doctor Who | Writers reportedly not receiving residuals after move to Disney+ Doctor Who is back on our telly screens, but it seems that the writers won’t be paid residuals in the future.

The BBC's standard pitch to DW writers has long been "Okay, the pay per episode is poor, but the residuals go on forever and make up for it." If those residuals are now gone...

Adobe Stock is Selling AI-Generated Images of the Israel-Hamas Conflict Do we really need fake images of the war?

Shut it down, immediately. This is such a dangerous practice; it could easily be used to incite violence or to spur population movement.
