I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home. We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss. We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

Frost studies....

The orange pirate of the Caribbean strikes Venezuela illegally, without even seeking a nod from Congress. Will FIFA send him another "peace" award? Trump orders strikes on Caracas, officials tell CBS, as Venezuela declares national emergency

Dumb and couldn't really get any dumber. Mind you, remember Michael Gove's famous line: I think that the people of Great Britain have had enough of experts....

Why keep wild creatures in confinement and pay to see them for enjoyment? Some claim it's good for conservation, when it's callous subjugation.

A quatrain for the brain: We steal honey from the bee, spread it thick on bread for tea. We think of this as husbandry, when really it is slavery.

and lo it came to pass - "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength".

Loved this brilliant biography of Crick by @matthewcobb.bsky.social But what struck me from the start: it's also a portrait of a lost time in science: no grant applications or teaching, big travel budgets: the job only to think, talk & get science done. Future scientific biogs will be so different.

I'll just leave this here.....

Co-founder of Colossal Biosciences Ben Lamm has a history of hyping up “world-changing” ventures that ultimately lead nowhere. Cheerleading false techno-fixes like de-extinction in the media distracts from real attempts to address biodiversity loss and climate change.

One thing to say: #AxeDrax www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

This 👇 If the pace of sanctions is less than or equals the pace of Russian economic adaptation, then Russia can continue this war indefinitely (certainly into the 2040s). So, we must apply a shock that outpaces and exceeds Russia's capacity to adapt, collapsing Russia's economy. IF we want peace.

Taken too much? Prepare to lose it all....

The ginger bread house is being demolished....

No, they are only alienating a minority of entitled degenerates who think that chasing animals to exhaustion and throwing them live to be ripped apart by a pack of dogs is a bit of a laugh. This should have been confined to history just like bear baiting, dog fighting, and hare coursing long ago.

As someone who grew up in the countryside the Countryside Alliance has never represented me and my family and honestly fuck them

Is the government going to sit and watch while the #PalestineAction hunger strikers die? Is most of the media going to carry on ignoring them? Just how callous has the Establishment become? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

When I saw this I didn't know what this guy was so angry about. He's furious because Trump has had his name added to the facade of the Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts in Washington, like a dominant male animal, marking his territory by pissing all over it. When he's gone he'll be remembered.

Enjoyed writing this version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen & singing it with #Cornwall Green Party friends at our festive social in Truro today.

I'm sorry that this post will be too late to buy these two fantastic books as Christmas gifts - but use your festive gift/book tokens as soon as you can in 2026. @princetonupress.bsky.social just keep publishing absolute crackers! Highly authoritative and hugely accessible...I love them!

Ho ho ho....

It’s a sad indictment of Britain’s ignorance of nature that Sycamore Gap petitions - for a tree that mattered to humans but not nature - received tens of thousands of signatures but a petition to protect entire peatland habitats is stuck at 1,500 actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

URGENT Attention all macrophotographers! Does anyone have an image of the sexual form of Andricus quercuscalicis - ideally laying on an English oak bud!!!!

It seems like the Tangerine Tosspot might want to look at five years worth of your social media posts if you want to visit 'the land of the free!'

Shambolic.....

Grim reading, but not a surprise. We need total transformation it all goes to shit...

I'm going to keep repeating this strategy until I'm either dead or this war has ended. Whichever comes first. Western leaders (forget Trump) have the power to end Russia's war within months, even weeks, if they apply a shock to Russia's economy. Overnight. Sanctions and trade blocks on everything.

We're still turning up the heat.
