Let me get this straight

A global conspiracy, involving every country on earth for 40+ years in order to spread mind-control chemicals from planes is real

Yet climate change is false

Hey Republicans from The South: ever wonder why no one takes y’all seriously?

    A day ahead of the equinox & spring has truly sprung in our garden this lunchtime 🌿

    Sunny, if not particularly warm, but enough to tempt one of last year’s peacock #butterflies (Aglais io) out of hibernation ahead of egg laying.

    There was a yellow one fluttering around too, probably a brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni)🦋

    Happy π day!

    Today Albert Einstein was born #OTD in 1879 and Stephen Hawking died #OTD in 2018.

    Pi Day is an annual celebration commemorating the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14th (3/14) since the numerical date corresponds to the first three digits of π (3.14). Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter and is approximately equal to 3.14159.

    It is also celebrated as The International Day of Mathematics.

    Who knew? 😳

    While there are only 80,000 of those iconic giant redwoods left in their native California (I blame all those rubbish speedbike riders in Return of the Jedi), there are 500,000 now growing in the UK.

    Smaller so far, given that they’re much younger, but apparently the warm wet weather conditions suit them well & the largest are already over 50 metres tall.

    The Kansas Republican Party hosted a fundraiser last Friday

    During which, attendees could pay to assault an effigy of President Biden

    Remember when simply criticizing Trump or Bush policies would trigger the right—causing them to scream “it’s unamerican to disrespect the president!”

    These are deplorables

    🇺🇸

    Large republicans kicking a punching dummy dressed up like the sitting president of the United States. One of the most bland “come together” moderates and they’re this triggered.
