What can be done about this? Slurry spreaders out today in waterlogged fields beside the Boyne River - total madness and against regulations. Water quality is deteriorating and there is little enforcement. @whittledaway.bsky.social @irishrainforest.bsky.social

On Wednesday my beautiful Mack passed away peacefully, and surrounded by her loved ones, with her head resting in my hand, at just after 5:05 pm. She had been an amazing companion to myself, and my Mum, for almost 15 years. Rest easy my sweet pea, i will hold you in my heart for the rest of my days

They endlessly praised Sweden for not having a lockdown but Sweden didn’t escape high long covid cases. www.news-medical.net/news/2023102...

We heard constantly about lockdown harms but never about the 10 million orphaned by opening up with unmitigated schools. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

They told us it was mild in children. www.ox.ac.uk/news/2023-01...

They told the public to wear gappy surgical masks which were not adequate protection for an airborne virus and they still have the wrong PPE in place. bsky.app/profile/safe...

We were told that around 7 million people died. This also turned out to be a huge undercount.

This also turned out to not be true. bsky.app/profile/elho...

We were told children don’t transmit COVID. news.sky.com/story/corona...

We were told to wash our hands and sing happy birthday and still are being told this, when in fact they knew it was airborne from day 1. bsky.app/profile/elho...

Starting with videos showing children suffering long covid. Many online are saying long covid isn’t even a real thing. Please share folks. www.youtube.com/shorts/6JRF4...

“The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not in the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot…”

Matt - spot on as ever.

German-speakers will spot an element of nominative determinism.

“At the age of 23, before she'd even earned her PhD, Carol Greider made the discovery that would earn her the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Along with her supervisor and co-laureate Elizabeth Blackburn, she discovered the enzyme telomerase…”

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Dr. Patricia Bath & Marian Croak were the first two Black women inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, 2022. Bath saved the sight of millions with her Laserphaco Probe for cataract treatment. Croak did pioneering work in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. #WomenInSTEM #BHM

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

11. This story is being spun as one bad apple. That awful man went off-piste and betrayed the national interest. Yes, he did, and he did it secretly in his disgraceful dealings with Epstein. But in other respects he undermined democracy with the full backing of the government. It was the policy.
