What about this classic Oz Crawl song that I'm pretty sure was written with the 2020's in mind:

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

Why is there such variation in species diversity among regions? Work led by @alexskeels.bsky.social shows that the history of climate change driving expansion & contraction of biomes is at least as important as current environments. ‬https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2502129122

‘Biodiversity is not declining’ is a claim you may have heard. But science says otherwise. 📉

The @ipbes.net #GlobalAssessment reveals 1 million plant & animal species are at risk of extinction. Misinformation clouds the crisis.

Rely on trusted research to understand our shared challenges. 🌍🧪
A split-screen image. The left side shows a rhinoceros mother and calf in a savanna landscape with scattered trees. The right side depicts a forest fire scene with orange flames and silhouetted trees against a dark sky. Text reads: "Biodiversity is in crisis" followed by: "1 million plant and animal species risk extinction Ecosystems are collapsing Misinformation slows progress." "Trust the science. Conserve, restore and sustainably use biodiversity."

There's a whole bunch more names to use!

For millions of years, whales walked on land.

Early whale evolution was an evolutionary burst in wetlands, estuaries, and ocean shallows, otter-like mammals with crocodile smiles moving between land and water. This form, Maiacetus, lived in what’s now Pakistan about 47.5 million years ago. 🧪
The skeleton of the early whale Maiacetus suspended from the ceiling. It is a mammal with anatomy like a crocodile’s.

The US military parade starting with Fogerty's masterpiece about how millionaires send working class kids to war, 'Fortunate Son' is tippety-top subversive resistance. Trump may have missed that but not the lack of crowds or desultory trundling. youtu.be/ZWijx_AgPiA?...
