🚨 📈 NEW: In a preliminary assessment, I calculate that the June 2026 heat wave caused around 20,000 heat-related deaths in Europe. Increases in heat mortality will continue as long as fossil fuel emissions continue. zenodo.org/records/2108...

It is new. Trump is trying to break the world record for most fireworks. So they're setting off 850,000 fireworks in the span of 40 minutes. Apparently in a normal year it's like 17,000-20,000 fireworks for this show.

This raku vase was inspired by part of an emission nebula 4000 light years away known as the 'Dragons of Ara'. It's name is not only a nod to the beauty of the nebula, but also to the fiery magical process of raku. #art #astronomy #sciart #pottery

A russian drone strike hit a hotel in Kyiv, causing a major fire. Russia is a terrorist state!

It's peony season, and I am going to enjoy every moment of it ☀️ #bloomscrolling #garden

Back to developments in Russia and a large part of Moscow are without electricity after a drone visit. Authorities say there's been "an accident" at a substation, affecting the towns of Lyubertsy + Kotelniki It's possible a downed drone fell perfectly on the target!

Horror in Kharkiv and Odesa, as Russia murders civilians again. Kharkiv is battered by FIVE aerial bombs in quick succession. At least six people are injured, the youngest victim is a boy, aged 16. I've also been told, yet to be confirmed, that one person died in Novobavarskyi.

Goodnight. 🖼️ Dillon Samuelson

Thank you @jowolff.bsky.social

At some point this is going to become a source of embarrassment for Reform. And with everyone in Restore seemingly hating him already (he constantly attacks them on Twitter they return in kind) he will be running short of options. Maybe he can run the EDL newsletter.

Let's take a look at this claim as "revealed" by the Daily Mail. TLDR - It's taken them a reeeeeally long time to "reveal" this law 😜 So what's the reality behind this headline? 🧵 1/23

There's no attempt to try and cloak the racism now. (Also Lord Mayors don't run cities and he knows that.)

Two of the rather obscured Stone Row, Parc y Marw in #Pembrokeshire. 'Marw' means 'the dead' and the area was considered haunted - in fact a footpath veers a mile out of its way to avoid it. #Folklore states its #ghost is either a traditional White Lady or 'a prehistoric hopgoblin'. #WyrdWednesday

I will be blunt, at the point you are asking “but why should Labour MPs stop using a product owned by someone who endorses their own murders?”…you’d think “self-respect” would be on there.

Weychester's last remaining mediaeval bridge is officially designated as St. Christopher's Bridge. However, it has another name among locals – the bridge of lost souls. This might be due to its reputation as a place of suicide, it might due to activities of the Stay Belows which call it arches home.

India is coming to Russia's rescue again. Buying its oil when the Kremlin needed cash and now shipping it back to help Russia's fuel crisis. Reuters says 60k tons of gasoline has already been sent by sea, with plans to import 400k each month from India, Belarus + elsewhere.

For just the second time in the war, sirens were sounding in the Omsk region of Russia. Soon afterwards, smoke was seen rising according to Supernova. But there's been no confirmation of any hits or damage.

Greetings from Kyiv. It was a hot day here. We were warned about a possible attack. Meanwhile, here’s a moment from today. Calm. Beautiful.

Looking for something to cook tonight? How about this recipe for a "brothe of elys" from the 15th C. Lancashire rhyming cookbook, the Liber Cure Cocorum? (fun fact: this book contains perhaps the earliest known recipe for haggis)

🔥 Europe is starting to push Palantir out. Things are looking rough for Palantir in Europe… …as they are increasingly seen as a danger to sovereignty with a high risk of structural lock-in and major ethical concerns. Please share.

All chemical safety research, globally, is very underfunded. By the time enough research is done to realise how harmful a chemical is, it may have been in use for decades +, during that time, it will have been disposed of as general waste.

Harry Kane always looks a little bit like he just lost a toddler at the supermarket

This is awful — sadly resident complaints of chemical odours in Cheshire have not gone away. Fenceline communities must stand together to fight industrial pollution

This discrepancy is why billionnaires own media.

The area around the historic *Brunner Mond*-*ICI* chemical works site in Cheshire has been dubbed by some locals *England's Bhopal* - the cumulative known effect of the resulting environment on _anything_ living including human being in the district is extraordinary. As for unknown effects......

🧵Pioneering aviator Amy Johnson was born on 1 July 1903 in the family home on St Georges Road in Hull. After a little bit of a rebellious period at Hull's Boulevard Secondary School and earning an Economics B.A. from the University of Sheffield, she briefly worked as a secretary. Driven by

Labour can threaten a £10k charge on migrants and still it’s never enough for the hard right. Perhaps there’s a lesson here? 🤔

Hazardous sodium cyanide, heavy metals, oil, radioactive waste, benzenes, toluene - a labyrinth of caves beneath a golf course in Cheshire brim with "chemical soup". The former leaseholder says the Council failed to warn him. My latest article, out now: share.google/pBTpx6J5O6s3...

"immigrants are a threat to women & girls" is about property, not protection fascists think they—in a collective racial/national sense—*own* those victims

On completely the opposite side of the country to Chita is Bryansk, but Russians here too are reduced to queuing for several hours. Here, on the border with Ukraine, the temperature is in the upper 20s (80s F) and all they can do is sit and bake, or stand outside and grumble.

Of course, occupied Crimea is far from the only territory controlled by Russia, experiencing incredible fuel shortages. This video is from the eastern city of Chita, 1000s of km from the Kremlin. As the caption says, you have to wait TWO DAYS to fill up, then pay 35k rubles ($450)

Wow, that was truly amazing, the Strawberry Full Moon rising over Ely Cathedral this evening. Seen from Little Downham outside of Ely, Cambridgeshire 😍🌝 I didn’t think it was going to shine through the clouds, but it certainly did 🙏🏻🥰 #Fullmoon #strawberrymoon #ElyCathedral #amazing #Wonderful
