On the day before the solstice, the group "Just Stop Oil" besmirches Stonehenge.
The group stresses its moderation: "The orange cornflour we used will soon wash away with the rain, but the urgent need for effective government action to mitigate the catastrophic consequences of the climate and ecological crisis will not."Just stop oil protestors damage Stonehenge 😭

Pictures from the Trump rally in Racine, Wisconsin.

I sincerely believe that if we sit and talk and listen with an open mind, we will come together. The fact that there’s so much political engagement makes me feel optimistic."
Great sentiments!

Fungus of the Day.

Writes Niall Ferguson, in "We’re All Soviets Now/A government with a permanent deficit and a bloated military. A bogus ideology pushed by elites. Poor health among ordinary people. Senescent leaders. Sound familiar?" (Free Press).
