I just read Flight Behavior, by Barbara Kingsolver, which has a plot with a backdrop of Monarch butterflies, their migration and the threats climate changes can pose to them. It's a great book, I recommend it.

T-shirts fall into three categories: vintage, new, and unacceptable, with the latter category compromising the bulk of the world’s supply. Within each category lies another, more precise subset of rules and rankings. Make no mistake, this i

It's the infantilization of the newer generations of adults. We are now kids until we are in our forties, still playing with Lego and Star Wars and hankering for the next Marvel episode. In the process, as the article points out, we ha

Just like the banning of Russian TV channels, this is another step towards the same totalitarianism that the West prides itself on being in opposition to. Scary how it happened so fast, and without any public debate.

This represses me, as a EU citizen. Let me hear the other side and make up my own mind. Are we really going to pretend that all the state run media in the EU are presenting an unbiased view? Scary how we go from zero to fascism in no time f
