A massive, dangerous and disgusting scandal, of which far too few people are yet aware. At @fightingdirty.bsky.social we'll keep pushing to stop it. Congrats to @rachelsalvidge.bsky.social for continuing to shine the light: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Recently visited Bristol Zoo Project to carry out some trial inter-reliability testing on our bear welfare assessment methodology. Ready to use in a very different context soon.

Widespread pollution of forever chemicals in UK rivers A new report highlights the need for a group ban on PFAS chemicals, as contamination of rivers reaches record levels By Brian McHugh @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

I know I can’t “win” #foxoftheday with this, but loved watching him and his brother playing together yesterday in a garden in Putney 😍

The protests are expanding to Europe, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America. #3E #NoKingsProtest

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

European and British soils seriously degraded by intensive farming

The vast fire on #Dartmoor should alert us to the ecological disaster there. This should not be a fire-prone landscape. Were it not for the elimination of trees by grazing, the vegetation type on the high moor would be temperate rainforest, which is extremely hard to burn. But only specks remain.

"We’ve heard of concerns about antibiotics in US meat, and chlorinated chicken, but not about the import of products from the US that don’t meet UK safety standards."

President Trump issued an executive order that makes a move toward issuing permits to deep sea mining corporations in both U.S. and international ocean waters. This move threatens fragile ocean ecosystems and communities for minimal gain and attempts to circumvent international law.

1. I've been banging on about the existential crisis facing our food system for years. But don't take it from me. Take it from the food professionals now risking their careers in an urgent and devastating warning to their own industry. Key quotes from their memo in 🧵 drive.google.com/file/d/1tATF...

Who did this?

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

Senator Cory Booker has now broken the record for the longest Senate Floor speech, previously held by Strom Thurmond (24 hours 18 minutes).

The US is 24th in the world in the happiness rankings. Not bad. But Denmark is No 2 (after Finland). On a scale of 1 to 100, Freedom House ranks Denmark 97 and the US 84 on freedom – and the US will drop a great deal this year. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

But her emails...

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Fucking. Hell.

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement. Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

The US is ‘pausing’ military aid to Ukraine, a White House official has confirmed to the BBC's US partner CBS News "We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution," the official said The US is the biggest source of military aid to Ukraine

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

As a Brit, I can’t even now find the adjective to describe the hatred I have of Trump and his team, and pray that the UK alongside other European countries do what is needed to protect and support #Ukraine and we isolate the US in a manner it deserves.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

If the US isn’t going to “prioritise” (their words) Ukraine/European safety, then kick them out of NATO. If they aren’t contributing they shouldn’t be part of the organisation.

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

So Trump hurt America's relationship with Canada and made markets wobble all to "get" Canada to do things Canada had announced back in December in coordination with the Biden administration, do I have that right?

Massive rally in Berlin against against far-right fascism. 🙌🙏💪👏👊👇

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Not religious, but by god, if there was ever anyone to get me to convert it’d be her!

Why the F has a “potus” reel story come up in my Instagram?! my feed now feels grubby and I’ve now got to go on the page to block it. Gross. 🤢

Chris Packham and Caroline Lucas accuse RSPCA of ‘legitimising cruelty’

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke
