Et l'article de Nature, qui met en avant ce travail, lui, il ne plaît visiblement PAS DU TOUT.
Et ça réagit fort.
Et salement.
Là, c'est notamment Martin Zizi qui s'acharne.

New research identifies 10,443 critically endangered species worldwide, with effective protection strategies available if funding and political will follow.
Improving the status of critically endangered species would cost between an estimated $1 billion and $2 billion annually, a small fraction of global economic activity and less than 2% of the net worth of billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg.

Personally I think of the tags “stuff that happens (etc) to me as an autistic person” so a fairly broad view of using the tags is fine. (I also don’t see a problem with a broader tag/group.)
I also really enjoy Babylon 5. Unlike many show I feel like it has huge character development for many characters, and you come to love many flawed (=real) people.
I’m currently watching 3 other show so will need to wait a bit with rewatch 
. I’m also now unsure if I bought it I just thought of buying it digitally

He didn't seem to get the memo that they are just *pretending* to be right wing populists. He has these moments where he's like "but that will hurt the poor (white) people in my state who voted for me!" and even though he manages to make it racist still it's just kind of touching to see a rep who even if only for a moment cares a little about some of his not wealthy residents. (but he still got rid of their medicaid.)
