This strikes me as a hilarious example of “whataboutism”. Of course I’m concerned about insect die-offs, and I applaud those bringing this serious issue to our attention. But, come on! I can’t mourn a great artist whom I miss terribly without being accused of not caring enough about bugs?
HugoThe 3 year anniversary of Sinead's death gets more media reach than the fact that 63% of ALL insects "died" in the UK in only 3 years, from 2021-2024. 70% of all insects "died" in Europe since 2020. #Death #Essentials #Celebrities #Extinction

In the background, astronaut Reid Wiseman can be heard commenting: "Dude. No. Way." Just posted on the NASA Image and Video Library: images.nasa.gov/details/art0... #Artemis 🧪🔭

AOC: I think when I make decisions about my life, they aren't just rooted in polls. They're rooted in what people need, what is best for the country and what is appropriate for the moment… and I think that right now, the most important thing before the country is for Democrats to win the midterms
Nixon’s the one?! Let’s see… antisemitic drunken creep, election ratfuckery… of course the maga kids love tricky Dick. And wait til they discover Spiro Agnew!
The Wall Street JournalThe kids are “Nixonmaxxing”: More than half-a-century after Watergate, conservative youth are discovering the aesthetic, and adopting the attitude, of the late president. 🔗 www.wsj.com/politics/ric...
