Insects don't need insect hotels made of killed trees and killed forests. Insects need to not be killed with toxins and overgrazing. Eat plant based and organic. Insects need native plants (and all their dead leaves) and no mowing. To help nature, don't kill nature for your short-term appetites.

The UK killed 63% of all flying insects in just three years, from 2021-2024. It's not just pesticides. It's overgrazing too.

Your 'doom quote' for today: "With cheap, abundant energy, the attempt clearly would be made to pave, develop, industrialize, and exploit every last bit of the planetβ€”a trend that would inevitably lead to a collapse of the life-support systems upon which civilization depends."

The β€œevidence” used to convict the β€œconspirators” in the Prairieland case is really something: inter alia, packets of seed for garden vegetables, No Nazi Swastika stickers, and a cache of non-alarming activist literature all more than protected by the first amendment.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.
