This “I hate (insert ecological specialist species)” humor is the epitome of sciolism, the quintessential dumb guy’s idea of a smart guy. The audacity of calling another animal an “evolutionary failure” while you destroy your own habitat and theirs… this ideology disgusts me.

Damn, even most southern reps during segregation thought it was uncouth to say the n-word in public and you're just wearing a pendant of it.

While the number of people crossing the border increased exponentially since Trump’s wall went up a new study reveals an 86% reduction in wildlife crossings. At well over $20 million a mile, Trump’s wall is both a wastefully expensive tactical failure & an ecological disaster.

Small business owners continue to confuse their personal preferences (getting to park their own cars for free) with what's good for business (higher turnover).

It's very frustrating that ignorance of the second law of thermodynamics seems to be a point of pride for so many people.

Today Animal Justice released alarming undercover video at a BC "local" slaughterhouse. Pigs are improperly stunned, sliced into, & strung up while still alive & conscious. You can see the terror in their eyes as they realize they're next & try to flee. No one deserves this. 💔

Interesting design choice by GMC to show the perspective of a pedestrian just before impact while the driver is distracted by a touch screen.

World meat production is expected to double by 2050. This would require that we convert 80% of existing forests & shrubland for meat & dairy production - an additional 35 million km2 of land, equating to the combined area of Australia & Africa. New study academic.oup.com/oocc/article/5…

Decades of research shows that expanding highways increases travel times. Some cities are reducing their highways in response. buff.ly/41rU21m

The top image shows California Gulch flowing from AZ to Mex. It’s one of the last homes for the endangered Sonoran chub, a fish clinging to survival. But in the fall of 2024, this stream was obliterated. The bottom image is a stark and lifeless reminder of what was lost.
