Bezos and Musk have it deeply wrong.
The problem isn't that we need a trillion people to have more Einsteins or Mozarts.

The problem is we don't nurture and protect the ones we have.

Research from Europe has shown large #solar farms can enhance the diversity and abundance of plants, grasses, #butterflies, #bees and #birds.

What’s more, vegetation between solar panel rows can also provide travel corridors, nesting sites and shelter for #wildlife. Management strategies are key to maximizing these benefits of solar farms.

In 2000, filmmaker #PeterWatkins gathered a large cast of actors and non-actors in an old abandoned #Paris warehouse. They spent days studying the #ParisCommune of 1871, they developed deep understandings of their characters, they built sets, and then they began filming.

LA COMMUNE (PARIS, 1871) was filmed like a #documentary. Much of the acting is spontaneous. It is rough around the edges. It is 345 minutes long. And it is amazing.
