Bro Twitter is crashing and burning and it is nuts. Banning loads of of journalists, then Elon jumping on a twitter space with all the banned journalists and the second they gave him pushback he jumped off and disabled the spaces feature cause he fired everyone who knows the code. It's such a shit show, and now Twitter is at risk of sanctions from the EU since Elon is violating freedom of the press. Wild absolutely wild. :birdsite: #elonmusk #twitterpurge #journalists #BloodyThursday

Attached: 2 images Love this quote, which I’m feeling more keenly than ever: “Now in the midst of climate emergency, it’s even more imperative that artists act as early warning systems, positioning themselves as the canaries in the coalmine. Through our work, we need to imagine the dystopian reality of where the earth is heading and to work with activists struggling to find another way.” ~ Peter Kennard, Visual Dissent #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #PeterKennard #VisualDissent #ArtActivism #activism #protest

Attached: 4 images Geoda de Pulpí. CRAWL DOWN AN ABANDONED MINE shaft in the south of Spain and then descended further still via a narrow staircase and you’ll find yourself in a magical world: a cavern filled with human-sized, sparkling crystals. This is the Pulpí geode, the second-largest known geode in the world.The Pulpí geode sits 164 feet below Mina Rica, a silver mine on the coast of Almería that was abandoned in the 1960s. The natural wonder lying below the mine was discovered by geologists in 1999

RT @[email protected] Woah. The second company that Tory peer Michelle Mone lobbied ministers over in an attempt to secure government Covid contracts was a secret entity of her husband’s family office. This scandal runs deep.
