I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Wildflower strips in orchards attract insects that eat pests, reducing crop damage and cutting pesticide use. The savings can be significant, especially in bad aphid years. 🌸

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

🧵 Birmingham City have WON League One so what better way for us to ruin a Bank Holiday than by spending the day drawing them. Questionably. This is Christoph Klarer. It'll be downhill from this point. Shares appreciated! Tell a Blues fan if you know one. Test your friendships! x

FREAKOUT AT THE MUD PALACE Dennis retreated to his house in Taos, 'the mud palace' where he got lost editing The Last Movie. The distributors pulled out. The film flopped. He blamed the movie business. All quotes paraphrased from stuff Dennis really said.

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

From Australia to Europe and the US, demonstrators rallied against carmaker’s dismantling of US federal government Thousands of people worldwide protested Elon Musk and his efforts with Donald Trump to dismantle the US federal government on Saturday, with rallies held in front of nearly every Tesla showroom in the US and many around the world – a concerted effort to go after the billionaire’s deep pockets as the CEO of the electric vehicle maker. Protest organizers asked people to do three things: don’t buy a Tesla, sell off Tesla stock and join the “Tesla Takedown” movement. Continue reading...
