Vice co-founder Shane Smith did a recent podcast about "questions" around Covid, which strives for false balance by interviewing an actual scientist, a vaccine "skeptic" and a Republican politician. Rather than link to that I'll just share this again: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Amazing lack of self-awareness from Clarence Thomas, who takes a dig at Oklahoma's attorney general for appointing a "personal friend and campaign donor" to review Glossip's case.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

California almond farmers and beekeepers have been shocked to find that up to 70% of the beehives used to pollinate orchards are dead. Experts say it’s the biggest loss of honeybees in 20 years and will be catastrophic for the season. Watch here to learn more @sfchronicle.com

Bees are dying. Again. Beekeepers lost about 60% of their commercial honeybees this winter, the highest losses in ~20 years. That’s bad news for the bee industry and for California’s $3B+ almond crop, which depends on pollination. W/ @jachristian.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/climate/arti...
