I love this one a lady did about punctuation marks

Home insurance is in crisis, and Big Oil's lies are to blame. "We’re never going to bend the curve of ever-rising insurance costs without addressing the core driver of higher prices: the worsening climate disasters that Big Oil knowingly made a reality," explains CCI's @iylas.bsky.social.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe Penguins on fire down the shops in Kingston

Imagine having a thumping majority in parliament and deciding to use it for something as squalid as this.

Indigenous people have arrived at the first climate summit held in the planet’s largest rainforest. They are fighting to postpone the end of the world, writes Eliane Brum (@sumauma.com).

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

Further to my previous post, slapping miscreants with fish seems to be on trend.

While US polarisation predates social media it doesn’t really predate the end of broadcasting impartiality Basically the US has been living with social media style partisan bias for decades, and now Europe is catching up (with similarly disastrous consequences) Will policy makers now respond?

👍🏼 Essex inventor built a filter that removes microplastics from water pumped from washing machines, so they don’t reach the sea.

NEW: Labour condemn Tory plan to strip people of indefinite leave to remain: “It’s utterly grotesque that Tories want to deport people with the lawful right to be here to achieve ‘cultural coherence’. “This policy would mean tearing families apart and ripping out our neighbours from communities."

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today. Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Please email your MP as a matter of urgency to demand they protect the flotilla: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/globalsumudf... Sanctions now. Arms embargo now.

China is going to eclipse the US based off electricity alone. They have a modern grid and have been increasingly electrifying their economy. They have massive surpluses of electricity and a lot based in renewables. The US has an aging grid and is tied to a future of burning fossil fuel for energy.

"The #Lionesses have strengthened an idea of England that can belong to everybody who calls this country home and who wants to identify with being part of it," writes @sundersays.bsky.social – reporting from a Katwala household celebrating England's victory. www.britishfuture.org/the-lionesse...

My inbox is flooded with desperate requests like this. It’s heartbreaking. Please support, if you can. All of us also need to keep pressure on our govts to take stronger action against Israel and get more aid into Gaza.

But what can we do? Our donations fund supplies to which Israel has forbidden entry to Gaza; petition after petition to this and other governments, and organisations complicit in sustaining the Israeli onslaught, have produced only the weakest of responses. What else other than prayer is left?

British people were 'sold a lie' with Brexit, Emmanuel Macron said this week at a joint press conference with Keir Starmer He said Brexit has made it harder to combat illegal migration across the Channel - HE’S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT 👇 youtu.be/cKXFjbxSBBI?...

Andrew Fisher points out we have a shortage of doctors We don't train enough doctors Doctors have lost 30% of their pay since 2010 Points out MPs pay didn't go down by 30% Why shouldn't junior doctors?

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay 🐝 Bees & other pollinators keep 80% of crop and wild flowering plants alive. Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.

In 3 months, bluefin tuna will be migrating back into our waters, where they'll be met with a fleet of commercial and recreational* fishers. It's a horrible way to welcome these magnificent, charismatic creatures. Let's try to get this to 250,000 before they arrive. www.change.org/p/protect-bl...

Given that we’re a nation of nature lovers, whose conservation charities are among the world's biggest membership organisations, Keir Starmer’s repeated attacks on voters who want to protect the living planet, calling us “time-wasting nimbys”, “blockers” and “zealots”, is frankly idiotic.

Exactly. Just as Tim Snyder always says about Putin.

Island of Strangers - by @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

Spot on. From @mortenmorland.bsky.social in today's @thetimes.com

Keir Starmer denies pushing anti-migrant policies in order to chase Reform, saying that "I'm doing this because it is right, because it is fair and because it is what I believe". A reminder of what he said he believed when he was running for Labour leader.

This is what ICE does: just like they stalked the family’s car and smashed the windows in to kidnap them. They attack people on the streets grab them and take them to concentration camps. Entire neighborhoods gather to protect little babies & their moms from being separated & kidnapped.

MA folks, today is be a great day to call the governor and ask her what the plan is to keep ALL Massachusetts residents safe in the face of kidnappings by masked men who refuse to show warrants. *Everyone* is endangered by this. Contact info here: www.mass.gov/orgs/governo...

@bladeofthes.bsky.social gets it

That's a perfect point to make. If only we'd stopped Brexit, too.

This. An emergency recall of parliament on a weekend for British Steel. Nothing at all for UK HE which employs far more people, has already shed 10,000 academic jobs, with several institutions on the brink of collapse. A reminder: we train all the doctors, teachers, engineers, nurses, lawyers &c &c

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

OR you could - admit publicly that Trump is an idiot and you made a mistake; check into detox for a couple of months; apologise to your daughter; donate Twitter to a trust set up to actually run it as a "public square"; use a smidgeon of your vast wealth to compensate the public servants you fired.

TAPPER: You're imposing a 10% on the Heard and MccDonald islands. They have zero human inhabitants. Why are you putting tariffs on islands entirely populated by penguins? ROLLINS: Whatever. Listen, the people leading this are serious, intentional, patriotic, the smartest I've ever worked with.

The situation is worsening in so many ways and at the centre of it are 100,000s families in desperate conditions. Please consider helping this one ⬇️
