The University of Manchester honeybees don’t contribute to environmental sustainability - they are domestic animals - they outcompete wild bee species. I’d advise against promoting this erroneous link between wild life & honey bees just as we don’t keep chickens to conserve birds. See links👇

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce how the Elon’s Election Interference Machine™ (EIM) works. Since Musk & his broligarch allies won the presidency for Trump, they’ve now harnessed the machine to interfere in European elections, including the ones in Germany & Romania. 1/23

Dieses Zitronenöl wird für 15 Euro verkauft um Mikroplastik im Körper aufzulösen und das Plastik auszuleiten. Das ist nichts anderes als Betrug! Fallt nicht auf diese betrügerische Machenschaften herein! #toxfacts

The snow cover on Mt. Everest has receded by a staggering 150 meters after a very warm winter with no significant precipitation. This Himalayan snow cover sustains the Indus, Ganga, Brahmaputra, Yangtze, Yellow, and Mekong. When we lose it, we lose the ability to feed ourselves.

This story gets more and more distorted, further and further removed from reality. Here are the actual facts: 1) Franklin did not take Photo 51. 2) Watson and Crick did not steal Photo 51. 3) Photo 51 was not central for the discovery of the DNA structure.

The extraordinary Larch ‘rose’. Sadly the local Larches have been decimated by disease, but there are still a few about. #larch #rose
