Jonathan, the world's oldest tortoise, marks his 190th with fanfare and salad cake

While Jonathan's exact birthday is unknown, it's estimated he was born in 1832 — before the first photograph of a person and the first postage stamp. He's getting lots of well-wishes on St. Helena.

With all of the horrible things happening in the world, it’s nice to find the wins. Especially in the area of our environment. A group called Coral Guardian is restoring coral reefs, and it’s quite magnificent.

These photos represent 7 years of work on the Indonesia’s Hatamin Island. In this they have increased the fish population by 5x with 53k corals restored.

More wins like this, please.

Increasingly, I believe that the destruction of Musk's Twitter is crucial for the preservation of American democracy. I was neutral on this until the past few days. But it's now obvious that his intentions -- and actions -- are aimed in part at promoting right-wing extremism.

The Murdoch family is still the greater threat, but Musk looks set to supersede them as a force for evil.

#TwitterTakeover

What kind of a man, said to be the world’s richest, spends $44 billion to give a platform for racists, antisemites, white nationalists and others to spread hate and abuse? What kind of man defends a man who abuses his power to incite violence and end the peaceful transfer of power?
