August on Island of Evia: Forest Fires – Kathryn Aldridge-Morris – Splonk In the oranged air a widow rubs the furrowed band on her ash-black skin where once she wore her wedding ring. She’d pawned it last winter in the shop beside the fish taverna where Leon had proposed; that entire street now scorched, like the thousands of hectares of fig trees, parched pines and olive groves. And for him to go choke on a fish bone? She tucks his urn into her shawl, crosses herself and apologises for the hundredth time that day – she knows, she knows – it was his mother’s ring. The flames advance on her home like debt collectors.

Working my way through the @wigleaf.bsky.social top 50 for 2025 and read this flash by @kazbarwrites.bsky.social -- ooof! Take a minute to read it. The ending....

My law firm is now litigating 85 voting and election cases in 40 states. This is the largest number of cases in the most states we have ever handled at one time. And, while Big Law firms mostly sit idly by, the need to protect elections in court is only growing.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women" The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand.
