Imagine gawping over a technology this 💩

Mole foraging above ground in the North Hampshire garden this afternoon. Making the most of the damp ground, after I'd recently watered some of the garden plants.

Tonight Question Time has a special on AI. It has 3 people who work in AI and the two lead MP's working to bring AI into the UK, both of whom have suspiciously close relationships with the AI industry. There can be no debate, because they are all supporters of AI.

Israeli settler violence since October 2023 has systematically rendered farmland inaccessible across the West Bank. The state-backed policy is destroying harvests, driving up the price of produce, and dismantling an entire way of life. mondoweiss.net/2026/04/the-...

It is Dinner Time! Jens is wearing his Eyes of Enthusiasm and his Watermelon Pink Smile of First!

It was a glorious golden sunrise this morning in Glastonbury. Have a fabulous Thursday everyone.

So the number of "lower skilled jobs" has fallen by almost the exact same amount as young people who are now out of work? Like I KEEP saying, just imagine your local supermarket. How many people are now staffing the tills? How many used to? There. That's the problem. That's why no one is in work.

Oh no, how unfortunate to see these definitely not planned and closely choreographed events

"...a failure to stop ethnic cleansing, stealing of lands and eventually a genocide had been underway for years, long before October 2023. ... the victims were a stigmatised other, so international humanitarian law could be ignored..." #Auspol

OK, so Helen Whately and the Express are doubling down and going all out hysterical at this point...🙄 They've actually "calculated" the state benefits a man with ELEVEN WIVES could claim!! And this time, they've done it behind a paywalled article🤷‍♀️ But don't worry, I got behind it!🤓 🧵1/20

“Gordy” came up on land in Cape Town, South Africa to say hello. He’s an elephant seal. Locals named him.

Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating Eid al-Adha! 🌙 We hope this special time brings joy, peace, and togetherness to you and your loved ones.

They’re asking for VOLUNTEERS to screen for Ebola at airports. This is what happens when you let someone like RFK Jr gut the CDC. They should have a dedicated team trained to handle deadly pandemics. Hazard pay should be automatic. This is alarming and enraging.

Leaving the UK has increasingly become part of many in our communities' plan. For those on low incomes, this poses multiple barriers, not least that without documentation - leaving is impossible. If you are a trans or non-binary person in this situation - we can help. 1/3

Scientists have discovered a tiny blue octopus lurking beneath the waters near the Galápagos Islands. About the size of a golf ball, the newly identified deep-sea species was found nearly 1,800 meters below the surface during an expedition in the Pacific Ocean.

I keep seeing comments re people not being able to access female only services, and I wonder, how were those questions phrased? Because I know for a fact there aren't support groups in my area for a few things those 'polls' mention. Not just no female only provision, literally, no provision at all🤷

It' so fun* to have mediocre middle aged white men explain to me that I should be concerned re trans people, when by a feckin large margin cis hetero men have caused me more harm than all the other groups put together. It's especially great* when they tell me I just don't understand life *It isn't.

Yet again, insinuations that I can't possibly be AFAB because I think GCs views are disgusting. It isn't about safety, it is about policing what is 'acceptable'. And we only need look at history to see where this path leads. 'First they came for' is happening, now. Please, please, speak up.

'Where do bad folks go when they die?'... Far too many bad folks wandering around, telling everyone they are good folks... #ActionsNotWords youtu.be/d4LdUQzCPPM?...

This is stunning 😍

This is what a (partial) solar eclipse looks like from space. Look closely and you can see the mountains along the Moon's edge.

People who still think “gender criticals” are all basically liberals with reasonable concerns really should notice the language that is now being used and the demands being made and ask how this differs from what the American religious right says

My daughter will shortly be back in hospital because social services cannot currently meet her home care needs. She will be in a room by herself for allergy control. We are in a situation where a govt that is failing young disabled people is blaming them rather than meeting their obligations. 🤬

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

You'll need to go for a long walk to calm down after you read how the UK got to here on trans rights. If you're only ever going to read one piece on trans people, this would be the one.

Buprestis aurulenta/Golden Buprestid beetle. Just found him hanging out on the end of a log.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he isn't actually sorry.

Lizard cam is seeing Western fence lizards daily getting drinks at the water dish. Storms and rain in the afternoon forecast all this week, hopefully the rain, if we get it, will help our drought out a bit.

Can I confirm this is true? No. Would l be surprised if it is? Also no. 🤷‍♀️
